Art of Glass: In the studio with Scottish based artist Pinkie Maclure

#ArtofGlassExhibition at the National Museum of Scotland examines the diverse work of 15 established and emerging glass artists in Britain today.

Open until 16 September 2018, Art of Glass – is presented in partnership with The National Centre for Craft & Design - features ground-breaking works utilising everything from neon to stained glass.

The glass artists are working with glass in a variety of ways, whether manipulating it in a hot glass studio, casting it in a kiln or using new technologies such as waterjet cutting and 3D printing.

The artists featured in Art of Glass are based around the UK, working from both isolated rural studios and busy urban locations.

Among them are four Scotland-based artists, whose works are pushing the medium of glass to its physical and artistic limits.

Pinkie Maclure

Perthshire-based Pinkie Maclure began working with glass almost by accident. Her partner was working as a self-employed stained glass window maker, mainly restoring Victorian windows, and making new ones for front doors. He asked if she could help him out.

For Art of Glass, she has created Beauty Tricks, which critiques the human and environmental impact of the beauty industry and the pressure women sometimes place on themselves and their daughters.
