Beads and
The International Society of Glass Beadmakers is pleased to
present Perspectives: Traditions and Innovations in Glass Beads, at
More Fire Glass Studio. This juried exhibition of ISGB artists represents the endlessly
captivating styles, techniques, and processes used in contemporary glass
beadmaking. Unique color, form, and textural elements were combined to
highlight the infinite possibilities of glass, as expressed by our members.
Artists were encouraged to create a bead that best captured their inspiration
and personal “voice.”
The Perspectives exhibit was designed to celebrate the diversity of expression
that is possible in glass beadmaking, from time honored traditional techniques
to innovative ways of working with glass. Some artists played around
with surface, while others chose to focus on form. Artists achieved beautiful
imagery by using enamels, acid etching, sandblasting through photo-resist,
and experimenting with reduction and oxidation. Sculptural techniques
were utilized to form beads ranging from a tropical bird to a bobble-head
rendition of Salvador Dali. Beadmakers chose to work entirely in glass
or incorporate other elements such as PMC, silver foil, or electroforming.
Established artists created new works in the styles they are known for,
while emerging artists tried out new ones. The resulting exhibit is an
impressive array of small wonders. New Work By Studio Artists:
Lyons, Rattonsey, Schinzing, Prasch,
Valle, Storms
