Around1850 glass in Sweden was not ordinary , it was expensive to own. In the following 50 years, there was development in how glass was manufactured so that it could be produced as a long series. Therefore today there is an abundance of glass from the late 1800s and the prices are still resaonably low. This book is a great guide for collectors and for beginners. The book gives insight into the techniques, models and decorations in the Swedish glass industry for more than 100 years ago.

Lake started working with glass after first studying carpentry and wood carving and then textile design. Her work is primarily based on experimentation with ‘window’ glass, which is shaped after being heated in a kiln together with pieces of sheet copper and brass, or steel wire. Occasionally, she applies various acids, salts, oxides or organic compounds to the glass and the metal, to coax out specific colour effects. Here is a catalogue of the Ocean exhibition, presenting work in which she started by cutting out pieces of glass and metal on the basis of geometric shapes. This enabled her to juxtapose natural laws with the more undefined aspects of life. When she combined this feature with the water-like characteristics of glass, she envisaged a sea of unexplored depths - an ocean of possiblilites.

A beautifully designed catalogue with gorgeous color images of many of the works in the show “Southern Exposure” - a group exhibition with 25 artists from New Zealand. Includes an informative essay by Grace Cochrane, Director at the Powerhouse Museum in Sydney, Australia, who was one of the selectors for the show. The artists in this exhibition were selected from over 70 submissions and reflect the broad scope of glassmaking in New Zealand at this moment. Many of those represented have been working for over twenty years and can be considered amongst the well-experienced pioneers.
