Autumn Talk: Pauline Boty: Collage into Stained Glass – a Pop Art Approach
2 Nov. 2023 7pm


Event category: Talk /Tour

Price: £6.50 (Friends: £5)
Location: Online
Book

Pauline Boty was one of the founders of British Pop; a talented and ambitious artist, and also a charismatic player on the swinging London scene. She produced a vibrant body of work in stained glass, collage and paint that both challenges and enriches Pop from a female perspective.

This talk will focus on the stained glass work she made while at the Royal College of Art (including the piece held at the Ely Stained Glass Museum). It will explore the relationship between the mediums of collage and stained glass and place both in the wider context of Boty’s whole oeuvre and contribution to Pop.

Dr Sue Tate is a freelance art historian with a specific interest in women artists. She is the leading expert on Pauline Boty, British Pop Artist, 1938-66, having curated exhibitions of her oeuvre, lecturing on it in the UK, Europe and the USA, and publishing essays, book chapters and the definitive book on the artist: Pauline Boty: Pop Artist and Woman.

The Zoom link will be shared with ticket holders ahead of the event.
A recording of the lecture will also be shared with ticket holders after the event, ideal for those not able to join us live.

Please note this is the postponed talk from the original advertised date of 18 October 2023.

Event category: Children's Workshop

Price: £12 per person
Location: The Stained Glass Museum
Book

What you will do in the session.

You will begin by learning the principles and theory of glass cutting, fusing and firing. After this you will be taught how to cut the glass and try cutting the glass yourself. Other techniques you will be introduced to will include fusing clear and coloured glass using fritt, confetti, stringers and noodles. You will get to work on your design and make a glass Christmas decoration. The session leader will provide examples of the different techniques, processes, fittings and results for you to handle and examine, but the emphasis of the workshop will be on the creative designs that you can achieve by yourselves, ensuring that everyone will have a rewarding time. Your glass will need to be kiln-fired after the workshop is finished so please note that you don't take your glass with you on the day. Each firing takes 24hours. Once your fused artwork has been kiln-fired and cooled, we will contact you to let you know it is ready for collection. This will usually be within a week of completing the workshop. All young people must be accompanied by an adult for the duration of the workshop. Suitable for ages: 7+
