North Glasgow College Jewellery Degree Show 2013
Posted on June 15, 2013 at 6:30pm 0 Comments 0 Likes
Last but not least - of course, these are my students - in the round of Scottish degree shows is the turn of North Glasgow College. We've only been offering degrees in Jewellery Design and Technology for three years, validated through Leeds University - the last time for Leeds, we have an exciting partnership with Dundee's own Duncan of Jordanstone College of Art starting next academic year - but this is the first year that I've personally felt part of the degree-show circuit, felt as if we…

Every year, the august body, The Trades Hall of Glasgow, a marvellous philanthropic association of people who strive to preserve the craft skills in society, organise a competition between the colleges of Further Education in which the students compete to win substantial cash prizes,…

The circuit of degree shows rolls on and last night was the turn of the graduates at the Glasgow School of Art to show their stuff and unlike last year, which - though good - felt a little "flat", this was a show buzzing with ideas and energy, every bit as good as the Dundee and Edinburgh shows over the last few weeks.…
Stamping Ground
Posted on June 5, 2013 at 2:48pm 0 Comments 0 Likes
About 6 weeks ago, I ordered some stamps with my signature on them from Microstamps in the US. They arrived today and I have to say that I am delighted with them. I've had a hallmark for years and years but since I started working in iron and reclaimed materials, I've barely used it as mediaeval legislation in the UK means that it is not possible to sell anything "contaminated"…

NCECA 2013 Emerging Artist Linda Swanson makes us think about ceramic materials in a new and dynamic way. Her installation, site specific, fired and unfired work all has an emphasis on time, material and transformation. Linda generously shared her time and thoughts with me about her current studio practice and the path that has led her there. I hope you enjoy this interview with Linda Swanson.

Join us each month! There will be surprises around every corner, with photos, videos, SNAG conference coverage, and occasional interviews by rising artists!

Hi Dauvit! Thanks for your greetings :) Good to see you too - I love your profile portrait! Hope all's well with you, all best wishes to you!
Hi Dauvit,
Thanks so much for the comment....you have inspired me to push myself out of my comfort zone. I love the treasures you brought home from your recent trip and getting a chance to see more of your work. Vicious I is getting lots of ooohs & ahhhs as it dangles from neck daily.
Hi Dauvit, thanks for the speedy response, your work is wonderful and has a strong visual voice.
your statement is right up my alley as well.
Much appreciated,
Christopher
Thank you for your kind comments.It is nice to see someone the same wave length. I really appreciate and like your work,and I am pleased to be your friend.
Hi there, been here a little while just not very active! The new photos of the stainless codpiece look great - a bit western gunslinger. That Earrings Galore exhibition looks interesting I may have to investigate.
Absolutely! Looking forward to your visit in the summer, maybe we can play with the new kilns (lots of other new equipment coming our way, too!).
Nice to meet you, Mr. Sinner.
I'm new to Crafthaus and looking forward to getting my feet wet.
Thank you very much for your membership payment and support of crafthaus. Your membership is valid through December 15, 2015.
Enjoy crafthaus, participate often :-)
