We’re excited to announce a free Glass Talk featuring internationally renowned cast glass artist Heike Brachlow, offered in collaboration with Glass School, UK, who will be hosting and administering the event.
During this online talk, Brachlow will lead you on a journey through her artistic practice and her lifelong fascination with colour, exploring how transparent colour transforms when held within three-dimensional form, shifting with light, thickness, and perspective. Through images and stories, Brachlow will share how her work has developed from early experiments to large-scale sculptural works.
Alongside her studio practice, Brachlow has pursued colour in glass as the subject of doctoral research. During this PhD, she investigated how optics affect colour, how artists might learn about colour directly through the material, and how bespoke glass colours can be created in the kiln. She will reflect on the challenges and discoveries of this research, including the process of making her own colours.
This talk offers a rare insight into the interplay of science, perception, and artistic expression. Whether you are an artist, student, collector, or simply fascinated by glass, you will discover how colour in glass behaves in ways that are both unpredictable and endlessly inspiring.
The talk is a free-to-register webinar. Places are limited, so we advise early registration.
