Cathryn Shilling

Art Brokerage: Cathryn Shilling American Glass Artist: Cathryn Shilling first studied glass in Connecticut having moved there with her family following a successful graphic design career. After further study in London, she has gone on to create a large and varied collection of kiln formed and hot glass of great beauty and collectability. She uses bold and experimental techniques, skilfully combining the fluidity and transparency of glass with materials such as metals and ceramic transfers to produce one-off sculptural pieces. Shape, texture, light and colour are used to great effect to create joyful and exciting work, which is always innovative and surprising. In 2010 Cathryn joined the team at Peter Layton's London Glassblowing Studio and Gallery as Exhibition Co-ordinator and Curator. During 2012 Cathryn curated several exhibitions at the Gallery at London Glassblowing including 'Luminaries' and 'London Glassblowing – Past & Present' In 2012, Cathryn's Synergy Series I – Duality was selected for the Corning Museum of Glass 'New Glass Review 33'. During 2012 Cathryn's Wear & Tear – Duality was selected as a finalist for the Bullseye Glass Emerge 2012 juried Kiln-glass exhibition. This work along with her Glasswork Quilt was also selected for the British Glass Biennale. Listings wanted by Art Brokerage.
