Horizons Through the Looking Glass – 27th & 28th April

31st March 2013

Photograph of Horizons Through the Looking Glass – 27th & 28th April

Caithness Horizons and North Lands Creative Glass [NLCG] have teamed up regularly since we opened our doors four and a half years ago. We have hosted presentations by many of the international residency artists who have visited the Lybster centre of excellence in glass since 2009, and audiences have been constantly surprised by the creative inventiveness and technical brilliance NLCG continues to support. Last year NLCG held a major exhibition in our Gallery.

For the first residency of 2013, four artists from the USA, Germany and Australia invite 10 participants to spend one day at Caithness Horizons, using its collections as inspiration for ideas that will then be followed up at the Lybster glass studios by work in hot glass techniques.

Interested? Places are limited to a small group for practical reasons. Workshops will be free but donations are welcomed. For information and to book telephone 01847 896508 or e-mail info[AT]caithnesshorizons.co.uk
