Clare Gaylard Glass 

Would you like to see the process? Largely unchanged over hundreds of years, immediate and rather alchemical. Send me a note via my 'Contact' page and I wil let you know when I am having Open Days.

This was my last Suffolk Open Studio weekend for 2012 but I am happy to take studio visits and do demonstrations by appointment. I am very absorbed in and convinced by what I do, so showing the process and where I take it is a pleasure. I'm not sure you ever stop being a teacher, for better or fo...

The Suffolk Open Studios season starts with an exhibition at Blackthorpe Barn from 26th May to 4th June 2012. The exhibition contains the work of over Suffolk artists working in a wide variety of media. For more information please go to www.suffolkop...

The Showcase at Blackthorpe Barn, Bury St Edmunds opens tonight. When I saw that it was a medieval barn I imagined a rough exterior and a gallery interior, actually the interior is pretty medieval too so it is a big difference from my last few exhibitions in purpose made galleries.

In June 2011 I'll be taking part in Suffolk Open Studios, a collaberative organisation run by artists. My studio (and those of many other Suffolk based artists) will be open each weekend in June so its a relaxed chance to engage with artists in their creative environment.

A calavera I like:

 “The English man is a skeleton

 so is the Italian

I finally decided on 'Multiplicity' as a title and this is 'Framing Angie's' unique frame. A combination of spontaneous pleasure & hours of labour and applied skill.  A good metaphor for the benefits of art-enrichment. I forgot to measure it before framing so it will probably go...

 I like a high level of control and autonomy with my work, so I approached the idea of a collaberative project with some caution. Four determined and fairly egocentric artists on one project without a leader should all point to trouble. In fact it's exciting, stimulating & remarkably stress free and all that is going to be reflected in the upcoming exhibitio...

 'Labyrinth' is a shared exhibition of the work of four Singapore based artists and will open at Gallery 2902 on the 12th November 2009. Myself, Donna Coughlin, Martha Chaudry and Susanne Pauli will be exhibiting work that represents our non-linear journeys in creativity.

The exhibition is down, the first run of workshops is completed and the kids are off school for summer. I'm putting a couple of hothead torches in my suitcase to take on holiday and introduce to friends. If you are interested in trying an Introduction to Lampwork Workshop please let me know...

Tan Sock Fong is the glass artist who is part of the Emily Hill co-operative and is behind the Glass Studio. Here's a bit of bio from herself:

'Sock Fong graduated from the University of Wolverhampton, UK, with a Bachelor (Hons) in Art and Design, specializing in Glass Art and Printmaking. Her specialties ...

Temperatures were in the upper eighties well before noon today. So the class working with torches and a kiln fired-up in a non-air-conditioned room deserve an award for uncommon valour.

'Clare's art reflects the both the ethereal and celestial, also the artist?s abiding fascination with the natural world. Heaven Above Earth Below is the hexagram of the 'I Ching' that represents the creative above and receptive below. Clare's work combines a pas...

At The Glass Studio on Emily Hill.

 I'm almost at the stage of pinning dates to my class schedule this June, I should have them in the next day or so.

I'll be doing an introductory class, an intermediate and an advanced class on rotation so it will be possible to mix

and match dates and days a bit. It will ...

I have been asked to be Artist in Residence for the month of June and will

end the month with an exhibition. The Glass Studio has a dedicated workshop 

for flamework / lampwork with single and dual fuel torches....
