OBJECTS OF CONTEMPLATION

Kate Stoddart has been co curator of Lustre for the last eight years and launched Objects of Contemplation for the first time in 2007, with new ceramic work by Kyra Cane, Sue Disley and Angela Verdon. In 2008 artists Deborah Fladgate and Clare Henshaw, were showing their glass pieces.

The idea of Objects of Contemplation was to present another aspect of craft at Lustre. These objects are not for use, and so evoke a more thoughtful, response. This was a showcase of some of the most interesting glass being made in the UK today. Both makers are represented in museum collections and this was a great opportunity to see their work in Nottingham.
