Afternoon >>
The combination of glass and printmaking offers tremendous potential for artists accustomed to working with either medium. Printing onto glass first emerged in the 18th century and now offers a significant strand of creative practice across the fields of both glass and print. This presentation will firstly provide a historical overview of the development of printing onto glass and will then consider the work of a range of international artist using glass and print approaches. This will help to set the context for the other speakers in this symposium. The presentation will conclude with a discussion of ‘Integrated Glass Printing’ – a new kiln forming glass/print process developed by Kevin Petrie to translate drawings into glass.
