Last night we were at the opening of the 2024 British Glass Biennale @ifog2024 and a great evening it was. It was a very exciting and enthusiastic crowd with so much supurb work and as usual at these events we spent so much time talking catching up with old friends and colleagues we didn’t get to see all the glass artwork so we are definitely going back for another visit!
•
We are delighted to both have a solo glass sculpture each in the exhibition. Thank you to the jurors for selecting our work!
•
The exhibition is highly recommended for one to get to whether you are a glass aficionado or someone who has only ever looked through or drunk from a glass before.
•
The exhibition is open until 28 September.

10 years ago Sally was asked by Sky Sports to design and make The Sunday Times Sports Women of the Year awards. They wanted a female artist maker to produce them. @vitality_uk sponsored it.
Being a bit of a sports fan and having a young daughter involved in athletics at the time I was 100% into being involved in working on a project that heightened the visibility of women in sport.
I am full of admiration for the dedication and staying power of people performing in elite sport, especially women who, against the odds, have stuck with their passion and desire to do what they do!
I enjoyed the whole process, the teams @skysports and @sundaytimes were a pleasure to work with, the challenge of making all the awards exactly the same size, the excitement of knowing who was going to receive an award before they did and then my reward of going to the Awards events and meeting truly inspiring women with the stories of their sporting journeys to tell.
Winners were diverse across the award categories from athletes at the top of their sport such as @jessicaennishill and @laurakenny31 to Team of the Year Award presented to the Lionesses and the English Netball team to women who are involved in grass root community sports. Some have retired from their sport and some are still competing. @dinaashersmith won the Young Sportswoman of the Year award early in her career and the main award 4 years later and is going into the 2024 olympics looking really strong. And last but not least @helenglovergb who won an award is one of our flag bearers this year.

Did you know that in 1900 Paris Olympics only 2.2% of competitors were women and this year we have a 50/50 male female representation. I for sure am looking forward to watching the Paris Olympics and seeing so many women loving what they do best!

We had a super time at the opening of UNFOCUS @galerie_du_verre in Biot, Côte d’Azur, France. Our huge thanks to Serge and his family for hosting yet another fantastic weekend event and inviting us to speak about our work at the symposium on Saturday.
It was special to catch up with fellow artists, some of whom we haven’t seen since before the pandemic!
The challenge of the UNFOCUS theme has been the catalyst for a new collaborative series of optical glass sculptures titled DISPERSION with the first two featured in UNFOCUS.
The exhibition runs until June 2025 so there is plenty of time for a trip to the south of France 😉
