Show Details
Transparent as Glass? Art Show: Glass has been created and used by mankind from the ancient Egyptians. It is only recently, since mid 20th century, that glass has been acknowledged as an art form. It has wonderful physical properties – transparent or opaque – allowing one to see the illusion of space and depth, the constant play of positive and negative spaces. This causes a magical flow within the art, embodying fun, playfulness, and the spiritual energy of nature.
BWAC is seeking original artwork from glass artists working all glass techniques – blown glass, kiln working, casting, flame, neon, stained glass, glass painting and glass etching. The theme is to reflect glass as an art which results in 2‐Dimensional or 3‐Dimensional work.
