The Manchester Craft and Design Centre is currently taking a closer look at “Heated Exchanges: Innovative Approaches to Collaboration in Contemporary Glass,” with an exhibition exploring the various properties of glass.The show features a combination of materials, makers, and ideas that push the limits of what we traditionally think of glass and its abilities, being neither a liquid nor a solid.The exhibition showcases three UK artists who have worked with this unique material to capture its form and shape. Harry Morgan’s gravity-defying sculptures capture glass’s fragility and strength against cool cast concrete. London-based Elinor Portnoy strips the material back to its origins, capturing its natural sand-like state against brightly colored vessels. Alexander Pearce’s wrought iron is combined with hot glass to create a stunning contrast of forms and materials.The exhibition is on view at Manchester Craft and Design Centre, 17 Oak St, Manchester M4 5JD, UK.For details, visit: http://www.craftanddesign.com/Click on the slideshow for a sneak peek of the exhibition.
