A glass hand-grenade, a model of a futuristic apartment-block and glass wind instruments all feature in a new Crafts Council touring exhibition; Breath Taking: Revealing a new wave in British glass blowing.
Breath Taking presents blown glass work by 22 UK makers, including 17 new commissions and five exemplary pieces from the Crafts Council Collection. The selected makers all illustrate a contemporary and lyrical approach to this age-old process through the presentation of exciting new works, many of which are conceptual and non-functional forms that breathe new life into a traditional practice.
