WORK BY GLASS ARTIST SELECTED FOR DORSET EXHIBITION
10:40 - 10 March 2007
A New collection of work by a Bristol glass artist has been selected for an exhibition at Walford Mill Craft Centre in Dorset.Milly Frances, 45, will show her designs celebrating the prickly beauty of cacti, at the Digital Experience Exhibition, later this month.
Milly's light etchings are inspired by a recent trip to Lanzarote.
She said: "This is my first ever series of light etchings, and I am really delighted at the response from galleries and exhibition organisers.
"Walford Mill is particularly pleasing, as it includes artists from all over the world and is a selected Crafts Council outlet."
After Walford Mill, the collection will be coming straight back to Bristol for the Southbank Bristol Arts Trail on May 12 and 13, before going off for an exhibition in Perros-Guirec, France.
Christine Lawry, chief executive of Walford Mill, said: "I was instantly attracted to these glass prints. Milly's digital treatment of the cacti images captures the contradiction between beauty and hostility perfectly."
Milly's limited edition light etchings are individually printed and etched on to handmade glass.
They are backlit and mounted in especially commissioned brushed stainless steel frames.
Milly, who lives in Greenbank, formed her company Striking Glass in 2002 and designs and makes unique stained glass windows and artworks from her Easton studio.
The exhibition takes place from Saturday, March 31, to Monday May 7, at the Walford Mill Craft Centre, Stone Lane, Wimborne.
