Meet Joseph Harrington
Joseph Harrington, a talented cast glass sculptor, holds a BA from Buckinghamshire University College and an MA from the Royal College of Art. His accolades include the 'Best in Show' at the 2017 British Glass Biennale and a gold medal at the 2018 Bavarian State Prize. His works feature in prestigious collections, including the Victoria & Albert Museum in London.
Joseph is renowned for his innovative 'lost ice process', using salt to sculpt ephemeral ice models for direct casting. This technique yields textured surfaces, reflecting erosion and the transient nature of creativity. His work aims to capture time and movement within permanent objects.
The thawing ice provides a physical timeframe, emphasising artistic judgement. Joseph's fascination lies in material transformations and the interplay of energies, creating sculptures that embody both permanence and change.
