University
of Sunderland students present Glass and
Ceramics 2012
, an exhibition of 21 artists from Saturday the 16th

The
students have been creating their final pieces since the beginning of this
academic year, thoroughly testing materials and concepts.
Each
project reflects the individual student’s interests and approach; developed
over the previous two years of the Glass and Ceramics degree course.
Some
students use traditional craft techniques, while others favour cutting-edge
manufacturing processes. Glass and
Ceramics 2012
will showcase the region’s
best glass and ceramics practitioners of the future.
The
exhibition will give students a real-world task; working to deadlines, presenting
their work professionally, and forging media contacts to promote themselves. Glass and Ceramics 2012 is more than
just an academic exercise, it is a launch pad for tomorrow’s designers and
makers – and an opportunity to showcase themselves that is becoming
increasingly rare in today’s market.
Visitors
to the exhibition will have the pleasure of supporting the work of up-and-coming
artists, and be giving the opportunity to buy any pieces that catch their eye.
