Happy 50th "Birthday" to the Studio Glass Movement - Studio Glass 1962-1979
Greg.:
Just to add to this early studio thread, an interesting abstract sculpture blown by Wayne Filan in 1971 at the Royal College of Art.
A fairly large piece for this time period, standing at 32cm tall and weighing around 3.5kg. Utilising a mix of finishes, including a matte powdered type finish along with metallic finish and clear polished finish.
These type of finishes are reminiscent of Wayne's later work in the United States and it is interesting to see them being used in his last year as a student at the RCA.
Greg.:
One further example to add to this early studio thread, an early student piece by Pauline Solven, blown whilst under the tutelage of Sam Herman, signed Pauline Solven 1967 RCA.
flying free:
That's a lovely piece Greg. It kind of reminds me of Benny Motzfeld, perhaps because of the cube style shape.
All of an era of course.

Greg.:
Thanks M, the shape is reminiscent of some of Benny's work.
Quite an early piece for the RCA.
Always nice to see pieces from this time.
