CRACKED exhibition

Complementing the International Festival of Glass arriving in St Helens, this satellite exhibition showcases six contemporary artists overcoming barriers to making artworks out of glass. Cold glass engraving, computer generated textures and float glass sheets stand beside traditional vessels, with artists making and exhibiting work after 12 months artistic research into glass making techniques, craft and contemporary sculpture in relation to St Helens industrial heritage.

CRACKED features artworks by Amber Hahn (London), Gee Collins (St Helens), Liam Cosford (Southend-on-sea), John Carney (Manchester), Mali Non (Manchester) and Lucy Evans (St Helens) in custom built spaces at Street and a Half, produced by Tobias Ferguson and supported by Artist-led St Helens.
