Creative Evolution: Sketching on the Blowing Iron
This summer showcased Peter Layton & Tim Rawlinson's experimental work and pieces from series that Peter has redeveloped or retired. The archive of Peter's visual library forms the bedrock of his creative process.
Watch the video below to see Peter introduce some of the collection.
Space Art means many things - from lurid graphics to exquisite digitally enhanced photo-montages. Unfortunately, for us at London Glassblowing, it has yet another connotation. The 'art' of shuffling the stunning art objects we are creating from one shelf to another in the relentless effort to make space in the studio. Since the way we create our designs is to 'sketch on the blowing iron', we have many objects to store for future reference, rather than simply turning a page in our sketch books.
Work by Peter Layton, Tim Rawlinson & James Alexander
So in this showcase, Creative Evolution, Peter and Tim released gorgeous pieces to swoon over and enjoy for decades to come - unique tangible objects to cherish in these uncertain times.
