Consultation: Glass Research with Joshua Kerley

Are you a UCL research­er who would bene­fit from cross-dis­cip­lin­ary con­ver­sa­tion with a glass artist?

This Novem­ber, we’re invit­ing UCL research­ers to attend a one-on-one con­sultancy ses­sion with our maker-in-res­id­ence, award-win­ning glass artist Joshua Kerley.

Dur­ing his dec­ades-long prac­tice, Joshua has worked with vari­ous glass-mak­ing and mould-mak­ing pro­cesses, play­ing with trans­par­ency, reflec­tion, hard­ness and shine. This explor­at­ory approach allows the mater­i­al itself to guide his work’s visu­al and phys­ic­al qual­it­ies, allow­ing the glass to mas­quer­ade as some­thing else through his exper­i­ment­al use of kilns.

Join Joshua to dis­cuss your work and gain valu­able insight by learn­ing more about his extens­ive expert­ise and inspir­a­tion, explor­ing the cross-pol­lin­a­tion that can res­ult from pair­ing makers and aca­dem­ics. Com­plete the applic­a­tion form to tell us more about your research and why a ses­sion with Joshua would sup­port your prac­tice, and find out how hands-on mak­ing can spark cre­ativ­ity and new ways of think­ing in engin­eer­ing, archi­tec­ture, medi­cine, the human­it­ies and social sciences.

Dead­line for applic­a­tions: Sunday 8^th Novem­ber at 23:59
