Richard Jackson : Interview by Craft Hub EU

Watch a film interview with Richard Jackson talking in depth about life as a glass sculptor

Commissioned by Craft Hub EU Richard tells his own story, in the studio, of his journey to becoming an established creative practitioner in a craft based material.
In this 17 minute interview Richard covers many aspects of his practise from his inspiration to the physical evolution of his artworks to key highlights in the timeline of his career to his motivation and passion for making.

The Craft Hub Project

Craft Hub is a European project co-funded by the Creative Europe Programme focused on Craft in the context of cultural heritage and its continuing relevance in contemporary practice.

The project activities involve investigating and documenting craft skills and processes, their differing application in creative practice across Europe, and questions of cultural specificity & individual motivations of practitioners. https://www.crafthub.eu

What better week than NATIONAL TREE WEEK to announce that LIVING COLUMN is now part of the @nationaltrust collection and will remain permanently @buscot_park
•
A huge sycamore planted circa 1780 inspired us to create LIVING COLUMN in 2022. It is a Jackson Fawkes collaborative glass sculpture and we ventured into the technology of jet cutting thick glass for the first time.
Trees are windows into the mechanics of life, with our survival inexorably linked to our stewardship of their care. Time is carved into the bark of these magnificent living columns, as they bear witness to the passing ages.
•
Buscot Park has an ongoing programme of tree planting and maintenance of the Pleasure Gardens… but you will have to wait until their 2025 season to visit now!
The Tree Council brings everyone together with a shared mission to care for trees and our planet’s future. @thetreecouncil has lots of information on its website of how to get involved with trees and has events happening this weekend.
Living Column enter was purchased through the Buscot Park Millennium Fund for future generations to enjoy.

TWO VIEWS IV, a new collaborative glass sculpture by the two of us, is part of Symbiose, le verre en duo @charleroimuseum in Belgium until 09.93.25.
We have been collaborating for 20 years, drawing on our mutual experience as artists working with glass to create, separately and together, works that question the complexity of life.

Yesterday evening was the opening of SYMBIOSE, LE VERRE EN DUO @charleroimuseum in Belgium. We are absolutely delighted to have 5 new glass artworks between us in this incredible Focus exhibition of the work by 11 couples collaborating in glass. It has been an absolute pleasure to work with @cathou79 the museum curator who’s knowledge of glass and hard work dedicated to the delivery of exhibitions at the glass museum makes it happen there.
We can highly recommend a visit to explore this historical site.
Symbiose is open now until 05.03.2025 so we will have more posts to follow about the content of Sybiose, the verre en duo!
