Layers: James Cockerill Screen Printing on Glass
1 Jun. 2024 - 28 Sep. 2024


Event category: Exhibition

Location: The Stained Glass Museum
This summer, we are delighted to be hosting the temporary exhibition Layers: James Cockerill Screen Printing on Glass

James Cockerill is a First Prize winner of the prestigious Stevens Architectural Glass Artist of the Year Award, and winner of the George and Evelyn Gee Prize for Craftsmanship. He is a Fine Art graduate and founder of HALTglass, through which he designs, makes, teaches, and provides consultancy on glass and print.

James specialises in combining traditional techniques with modern innovations to create striking, graphic works on glass. From his studio in Surrey, James’s art practice is constantly evolving through experimentation, with photography and silkscreen printing providing the foundation for his creative exploration. Layers of often ephemeral images from life and from media are printed onto glass then kiln fired into permanence.

*** FULLY BOOKED *** Please contact us for waiting list


Event category: Adult Workshop

Price: £120 per person including all materials, equipment and tuition
Location: The Stained Glass Museum, South Triforium, Ely Cathedral, Ely, Cambridgeshire CB7 4DL
Book

The art of painting on glass was mastered in the medieval period. Over the following centuries, stained glass artists have used painting techniques to draw with line and light, to create depth and detail, and to control the atmospheric quality of light’s transmission through glass.
In this practical workshop, glass artist Derek Hunt will teach traditional painting techniques. Using vitreous pigment and silver stain on clear glass, students learn to work with a variety of brushes, sticks, quills and sponges to create different effects and shading in both wet and dry matts. Glass work will be fired at intervals throughout the workshop, and ready to take home at the end of the day.
