'TRU BEGINNINGS' SHOW
Friday 4th April 2014
With barely 3 minutes to spare, I arrived at our show. Panicking that the Deputy Mayor of Farnham's visit was imminent and I hadn't even got my work properly displayed yet. People from Uni had arrived already and the Pimms was going down nicely. The photographer from the Farnham Herald was already clicking away, herself expectant of Councillor Ricketts appearance to open the show alongside Mr. Robert Pulley, our new Head of Crafts and Art at UCA (The University for the Creative Arts), Farnham. Fashionable late, Councillor Ricketts arrived at 8pm and conversed with myself and some of the other members of the group who were also displaying some of their work.
I believe the evening was a success - I shall wait to see if the Farnham Herald think so too.

A sneak preview of just one of the items I will be showing at ' Tru Beginnings', Museum of Farnham, Farnham, UK. 5th & 6th April, 2014
Here is a peek at something I will be showing.
A centrifugal force spun plate with hot glass pulled cane inclusions. Inspired from the street seller in Majorca I saw whilst on holiday aged 9. He used an old potters wheel to spin coloured oil paints on canvas. Superspirograph was on my hit list for Christmas that year!

Deputy Mayor of Farnham, Councillor Ricketts and Robert Pulley of UCA Farnham will be opening our Exhibition this Friday 4th April, 2014
TRU
BEGINNINGS is an exhibition of up and coming 2nd year Three
Dimensional Design BA(Hons) students from The University of the Creative Arts
Farnham, showcasing ceramics, glass, metalwork and jewellery. Tru beginnings is
based on a common connection of discovering the love of their chosen material
from early childhood and pre-teenage years. The Private Viewing is being held on Friday 4th
April at 7pm and will be jointly opened by the Deputy
Mayor, Cllr Jeremy Ricketts and the newly appointed Bob Pulley, UCA’s Head of
School for Craft and Design.
The show
features work from:
Anna Pegg who
takes inspiration from nature and pattern to create forged and cast pieces of
metalwork that are reminiscent of Art Nouveau.
Craig
Richardson who creates ceramic pieces influenced by his love of order and
balance of repetitive patterns.
Emelye
Tailford who creates sculptural glass art, through casting processes and glass
blowing. Her work portrays a sense of playfulness and experimentation.
Georgia Downey
who works mainly with blown glass and cold working techniques to create
sculptural, yet functional glass pieces. She explores irregular organic forms
as an influence for the shape and structure of her work.
Kanako
Mizojiri who explores her interests in the abstract, making organic shape
sculptures that are each built up of many different wheel-thrown sections.
These sections are joined together to make gentle rhythmic patterns that
represent the current of waves, colour and light from her childhood memories of
floating in the sea.
Sammy
Kitching who takes inspiration from fashion and bright colours, to create
a loud impression with her work and on to the people that view it. She enjoys
traditional techniques and simple ideas that can trigger inspirations in to
creating something unique yet memorable.
… and Sheryl
Vaughan who explores the field of colourful cast glass by constructing new
forms from objects that evoke memories from shared moments with her family.
Items of
work will be on sale and refreshments will be available.
Access to
the gallery will be through the garden side gate when the museum is closed.

Well, sadly I did not make it into the final five contestants this year for the Warm Glass Prize. Good luck to the 5 that did make it through, and better luck to me next year.
