tempt the viewer to identify the artist with the images she depicts Schaechter however does not limit the discussion of meaning to the parameters of her own autobiography Her windows function instead like Rorschach tests - revealing as much about the viewer as the artist For Schaechter meaning often arrives after the creative act and she is more interested in the possibilities of interpretation than forcing her own The push and pull between meaning and wonder is at the crux of the aesthetic experience that Schaechter offers us - Extract from Extra Virgin The Stained Glass of Judith Schaechter Schaechter has won numerous awards for her stained glass work and has displayed her work in solo and group exhibitions all over the world She has been teaching stained glass in America since 1995 and currently teaches at New York Academy Of Art The talk will be followed by a question and answer session Tickets cost pound1500 Start time to be confirmed To book please follow this link Website wwwcreativeglassguildcoukprodin-conversation-with-judith-schaechter

tempt the viewer to identify the artist with the images she depicts Schaechter however does not limit the discussion of meaning to the parameters of her own autobiography Her windows function instead like Rorschach tests - revealing as much about the viewer as the artist For Schaechter meaning often arrives after the creative act and she is more interested in the possibilities of interpretation than forcing her own The push and pull between meaning and wonder is at the crux of the aesthetic experience that Schaechter offers us - Extract from Extra Virgin The Stained Glass of Judith Schaechter Schaechter has won numerous awards for her stained glass work and has displayed her work in solo and group exhibitions all over the world She has been teaching stained glass in America since 1995 and currently teaches at New York Academy Of Art The talk will be followed by a question and answer session Tickets cost pound1500 Start time to be confirmed To book please follow this link Website wwwcreativeglassguildcoukprodin-conversation-with-judith-schaechter

050414060414 ldquoBodytalkrdquo Artist Talks Ebeltoft Glasmuseet Throughout history concepts of body and sex have had a significant impact From ancient idealization of the harmonious athletic body to the 1960s liberated body and gender perceptions to the more recent depreciation of the natural body in favour of the modified eternally young body In the wake of the development of the concept of the body and that many have come to realize that society not only shapes personality and behaviour it also shapes the way in which the body appears there have also been changes to the perception of gender Today traditional gender perceptions and stereotypes including the concept of the ideal family unit are in transition and there is a lively debate about equal rights women in top positions and men in more domestic roles But what happens to our perception of body sex and gender when the concepts are illustrated and reinterpreted by a group of international artists Through an Open Call 52 artists have been selected to show their views on the subject Although the exhibition is a group show bound together by a common theme there is a diversity of works and 52 very independent and strong statements See a list of the participating artists at Website wwwglasmuseetdken2010exhibitionsforthcomingbodytalklist-of-participating-artistshtml Programme of Events during the opening weekend Saturday 5th April 200pm - Artist Talk - Emma Woffenden GB 330pm - Artist Talk - Lisabeth Sterling US Sunday 6th April 1100 - Artist Talk - David Reekie GB 100pm - Performance in the glass studio - Maria Bang Espersen DK 200pm - Artist Talk - Alexander Rosenberg US 300pm - Artist Talk - Barbara Idzikowska PL Ebeltoft Glasmuseet Ebeltoft DK Tel 00 45 86 34 17 99 Email glasmuseetglasmuseetdk Website wwwglasmuseetdken2010exhibitionsforthcomingbodytalkhtml

tempt the viewer to identify the artist with the images she depicts Schaechter however does not limit the discussion of meaning to the parameters of her own autobiography Her windows function instead like Rorschach tests - revealing as much about the viewer as the artist For Schaechter meaning often arrives after the creative act and she is more interested in the possibilities of interpretation than forcing her own The push and pull between meaning and wonder is at the crux of the aesthetic experience that Schaechter offers us - Extract from Extra Virgin The Stained Glass of Judith Schaechter Schaechter has won numerous awards for her stained glass work and has displayed her work in solo and group exhibitions all over the world She has been teaching stained glass in America since 1995 and currently teaches at New York Academy Of Art The talk will be followed by a question and answer session Tickets cost pound1500 Start time to be confirmed To book please follow this link Website wwwcreativeglassguildcoukprodin-conversation-with-judith-schaechter

step outside into a bigger picture What does it mean to be a glass specialist in this place at this time More details for the Classes and Conference programme will be announced shortly Grace Macbeath North Lands Creative Glass Quatre Bras Lybster Caithness KW3 6BN Tel 01593 721 229 Email gracemacbeathnorthlandsglasscom Website wwwnorthlandsglasscomeventsmaster-classes

tempt the viewer to identify the artist with the images she depicts Schaechter however does not limit the discussion of meaning to the parameters of her own autobiography Her windows function instead like Rorschach tests - revealing as much about the viewer as the artist For Schaechter meaning often arrives after the creative act and she is more interested in the possibilities of interpretation than forcing her own The push and pull between meaning and wonder is at the crux of the aesthetic experience that Schaechter offers us - Extract from Extra Virgin The Stained Glass of Judith Schaechter Schaechter has won numerous awards for her stained glass work and has displayed her work in solo and group exhibitions all over the world She has been teaching stained glass in America since 1995 and currently teaches at New York Academy Of Art The talk will be followed by a question and answer session Tickets cost pound1500 Start time to be confirmed To book please follow this link Website wwwcreativeglassguildcoukprodin-conversation-with-judith-schaechter

050414060414 ldquoBodytalkrdquo Artist Talks Ebeltoft Glasmuseet Throughout history concepts of body and sex have had a significant impact From ancient idealization of the harmonious athletic body to the 1960s liberated body and gender perceptions to the more recent depreciation of the natural body in favour of the modified eternally young body In the wake of the development of the concept of the body and that many have come to realize that society not only shapes personality and behaviour it also shapes the way in which the body appears there have also been changes to the perception of gender Today traditional gender perceptions and stereotypes including the concept of the ideal family unit are in transition and there is a lively debate about equal rights women in top positions and men in more domestic roles But what happens to our perception of body sex and gender when the concepts are illustrated and reinterpreted by a group of international artists Through an Open Call 52 artists have been selected to show their views on the subject Although the exhibition is a group show bound together by a common theme there is a diversity of works and 52 very independent and strong statements See a list of the participating artists at Website wwwglasmuseetdken2010exhibitionsforthcomingbodytalklist-of-participating-artistshtml Programme of Events during the opening weekend Saturday 5th April 200pm - Artist Talk - Emma Woffenden GB 330pm - Artist Talk - Lisabeth Sterling US Sunday 6th April 1100 - Artist Talk - David Reekie GB 100pm - Performance in the glass studio - Maria Bang Espersen DK 200pm - Artist Talk - Alexander Rosenberg US 300pm - Artist Talk - Barbara Idzikowska PL Ebeltoft Glasmuseet Ebeltoft DK Tel 00 45 86 34 17 99 Email glasmuseetglasmuseetdk Website wwwglasmuseetdken2010exhibitionsforthcomingbodytalkhtml

tempt the viewer to identify the artist with the images she depicts Schaechter however does not limit the discussion of meaning to the parameters of her own autobiography Her windows function instead like Rorschach tests - revealing as much about the viewer as the artist For Schaechter meaning often arrives after the creative act and she is more interested in the possibilities of interpretation than forcing her own The push and pull between meaning and wonder is at the crux of the aesthetic experience that Schaechter offers us - Extract from Extra Virgin The Stained Glass of Judith Schaechter Schaechter has won numerous awards for her stained glass work and has displayed her work in solo and group exhibitions all over the world She has been teaching stained glass in America since 1995 and currently teaches at New York Academy Of Art The talk will be followed by a question and answer session Tickets cost pound1500 Start time to be confirmed To book please follow this link Website wwwcreativeglassguildcoukprodin-conversation-with-judith-schaechter

050414060414 ldquoBodytalkrdquo Artist Talks Ebeltoft Glasmuseet Throughout history concepts of body and sex have had a significant impact From ancient idealization of the harmonious athletic body to the 1960s liberated body and gender perceptions to the more recent depreciation of the natural body in favour of the modified eternally young body In the wake of the development of the concept of the body and that many have come to realize that society not only shapes personality and behaviour it also shapes the way in which the body appears there have also been changes to the perception of gender Today traditional gender perceptions and stereotypes including the concept of the ideal family unit are in transition and there is a lively debate about equal rights women in top positions and men in more domestic roles But what happens to our perception of body sex and gender when the concepts are illustrated and reinterpreted by a group of international artists Through an Open Call 52 artists have been selected to show their views on the subject Although the exhibition is a group show bound together by a common theme there is a diversity of works and 52 very independent and strong statements See a list of the participating artists at Website wwwglasmuseetdken2010exhibitionsforthcomingbodytalklist-of-participating-artistshtml Programme of Events during the opening weekend Saturday 5th April 200pm - Artist Talk - Emma Woffenden GB 330pm - Artist Talk - Lisabeth Sterling US Sunday 6th April 1100 - Artist Talk - David Reekie GB 100pm - Performance in the glass studio - Maria Bang Espersen DK 200pm - Artist Talk - Alexander Rosenberg US 300pm - Artist Talk - Barbara Idzikowska PL Ebeltoft Glasmuseet Ebeltoft DK Tel 00 45 86 34 17 99 Email glasmuseetglasmuseetdk Website wwwglasmuseetdken2010exhibitionsforthcomingbodytalkhtml

step outside into a bigger picture What does it mean to be a glass specialist in this place at this time More details for the Classes and Conference programme will be announced shortly Grace Macbeath North Lands Creative Glass Quatre Bras Lybster Caithness KW3 6BN Tel 01593 721 229 Email gracemacbeathnorthlandsglasscom Website wwwnorthlandsglasscomeventsmaster-classes

tempt the viewer to identify the artist with the images she depicts Schaechter however does not limit the discussion of meaning to the parameters of her own autobiography Her windows function instead like Rorschach tests - revealing as much about the viewer as the artist For Schaechter meaning often arrives after the creative act and she is more interested in the possibilities of interpretation than forcing her own The push and pull between meaning and wonder is at the crux of the aesthetic experience that Schaechter offers us - Extract from Extra Virgin The Stained Glass of Judith Schaechter Schaechter has won numerous awards for her stained glass work and has displayed her work in solo and group exhibitions all over the world She has been teaching stained glass in America since 1995 and currently teaches at New York Academy Of Art The talk will be followed by a question and answer session Tickets cost pound1500 Start time to be confirmed To book please follow this link Website wwwcreativeglassguildcoukprodin-conversation-with-judith-schaechter

tempt the viewer to identify the artist with the images she depicts Schaechter however does not limit the discussion of meaning to the parameters of her own autobiography Her windows function instead like Rorschach tests - revealing as much about the viewer as the artist For Schaechter meaning often arrives after the creative act and she is more interested in the possibilities of interpretation than forcing her own The push and pull between meaning and wonder is at the crux of the aesthetic experience that Schaechter offers us - Extract from Extra Virgin The Stained Glass of Judith Schaechter Schaechter has won numerous awards for her stained glass work and has displayed her work in solo and group exhibitions all over the world She has been teaching stained glass in America since 1995 and currently teaches at New York Academy Of Art The talk will be followed by a question and answer session Tickets cost pound1500 Start time to be confirmed To book please follow this link Website wwwcreativeglassguildcoukprodin-conversation-with-judith-schaechter

tempt the viewer to identify the artist with the images she depicts Schaechter however does not limit the discussion of meaning to the parameters of her own autobiography Her windows function instead like Rorschach tests - revealing as much about the viewer as the artist For Schaechter meaning often arrives after the creative act and she is more interested in the possibilities of interpretation than forcing her own The push and pull between meaning and wonder is at the crux of the aesthetic experience that Schaechter offers us - Extract from Extra Virgin The Stained Glass of Judith Schaechter Schaechter has won numerous awards for her stained glass work and has displayed her work in solo and group exhibitions all over the world She has been teaching stained glass in America since 1995 and currently teaches at New York Academy Of Art The talk will be followed by a question and answer session Tickets cost pound1500 Start time to be confirmed To book please follow this link Website wwwcreativeglassguildcoukprodin-conversation-with-judith-schaechter

050414060414 ldquoBodytalkrdquo Artist Talks Ebeltoft Glasmuseet Throughout history concepts of body and sex have had a significant impact From ancient idealization of the harmonious athletic body to the 1960s liberated body and gender perceptions to the more recent depreciation of the natural body in favour of the modified eternally young body In the wake of the development of the concept of the body and that many have come to realize that society not only shapes personality and behaviour it also shapes the way in which the body appears there have also been changes to the perception of gender Today traditional gender perceptions and stereotypes including the concept of the ideal family unit are in transition and there is a lively debate about equal rights women in top positions and men in more domestic roles But what happens to our perception of body sex and gender when the concepts are illustrated and reinterpreted by a group of international artists Through an Open Call 52 artists have been selected to show their views on the subject Although the exhibition is a group show bound together by a common theme there is a diversity of works and 52 very independent and strong statements See a list of the participating artists at Website wwwglasmuseetdken2010exhibitionsforthcomingbodytalklist-of-participating-artistshtml Programme of Events during the opening weekend Saturday 5th April 200pm - Artist Talk - Emma Woffenden GB 330pm - Artist Talk - Lisabeth Sterling US Sunday 6th April 1100 - Artist Talk - David Reekie GB 100pm - Performance in the glass studio - Maria Bang Espersen DK 200pm - Artist Talk - Alexander Rosenberg US 300pm - Artist Talk - Barbara Idzikowska PL Ebeltoft Glasmuseet Ebeltoft DK Tel 00 45 86 34 17 99 Email glasmuseetglasmuseetdk Website wwwglasmuseetdken2010exhibitionsforthcomingbodytalkhtml

tempt the viewer to identify the artist with the images she depicts Schaechter however does not limit the discussion of meaning to the parameters of her own autobiography Her windows function instead like Rorschach tests - revealing as much about the viewer as the artist For Schaechter meaning often arrives after the creative act and she is more interested in the possibilities of interpretation than forcing her own The push and pull between meaning and wonder is at the crux of the aesthetic experience that Schaechter offers us - Extract from Extra Virgin The Stained Glass of Judith Schaechter Schaechter has won numerous awards for her stained glass work and has displayed her work in solo and group exhibitions all over the world She has been teaching stained glass in America since 1995 and currently teaches at New York Academy Of Art The talk will be followed by a question and answer session Tickets cost pound1500 Start time to be confirmed To book please follow this link Website wwwcreativeglassguildcoukprodin-conversation-with-judith-schaechter

tempt the viewer to identify the artist with the images she depicts Schaechter however does not limit the discussion of meaning to the parameters of her own autobiography Her windows function instead like Rorschach tests - revealing as much about the viewer as the artist For Schaechter meaning often arrives after the creative act and she is more interested in the possibilities of interpretation than forcing her own The push and pull between meaning and wonder is at the crux of the aesthetic experience that Schaechter offers us - Extract from Extra Virgin The Stained Glass of Judith Schaechter Schaechter has won numerous awards for her stained glass work and has displayed her work in solo and group exhibitions all over the world She has been teaching stained glass in America since 1995 and currently teaches at New York Academy Of Art The talk will be followed by a question and answer session Tickets cost pound1500 Start time to be confirmed To book please follow this link Website wwwcreativeglassguildcoukprodin-conversation-with-judith-schaechter

tempt the viewer to identify the artist with the images she depicts Schaechter however does not limit the discussion of meaning to the parameters of her own autobiography Her windows function instead like Rorschach tests - revealing as much about the viewer as the artist For Schaechter meaning often arrives after the creative act and she is more interested in the possibilities of interpretation than forcing her own The push and pull between meaning and wonder is at the crux of the aesthetic experience that Schaechter offers us - Extract from Extra Virgin The Stained Glass of Judith Schaechter Schaechter has won numerous awards for her stained glass work and has displayed her work in solo and group exhibitions all over the world She has been teaching stained glass in America since 1995 and currently teaches at New York Academy Of Art The talk will be followed by a question and answer session Tickets cost pound1500 Start time to be confirmed To book please follow this link Website wwwcreativeglassguildcoukprodin-conversation-with-judith-schaechter

tempt the viewer to identify the artist with the images she depicts Schaechter however does not limit the discussion of meaning to the parameters of her own autobiography Her windows function instead like Rorschach tests - revealing as much about the viewer as the artist For Schaechter meaning often arrives after the creative act and she is more interested in the possibilities of interpretation than forcing her own The push and pull between meaning and wonder is at the crux of the aesthetic experience that Schaechter offers us - Extract from Extra Virgin The Stained Glass of Judith Schaechter Schaechter has won numerous awards for her stained glass work and has displayed her work in solo and group exhibitions all over the world She has been teaching stained glass in America since 1995 and currently teaches at New York Academy Of Art The talk will be followed by a question and answer session Tickets cost pound1500 Start time to be confirmed To book please follow this link Website wwwcreativeglassguildcoukprodin-conversation-with-judith-schaechter

050414060414 ldquoBodytalkrdquo Artist Talks Ebeltoft Glasmuseet Throughout history concepts of body and sex have had a significant impact From ancient idealization of the harmonious athletic body to the 1960s liberated body and gender perceptions to the more recent depreciation of the natural body in favour of the modified eternally young body In the wake of the development of the concept of the body and that many have come to realize that society not only shapes personality and behaviour it also shapes the way in which the body appears there have also been changes to the perception of gender Today traditional gender perceptions and stereotypes including the concept of the ideal family unit are in transition and there is a lively debate about equal rights women in top positions and men in more domestic roles But what happens to our perception of body sex and gender when the concepts are illustrated and reinterpreted by a group of international artists Through an Open Call 52 artists have been selected to show their views on the subject Although the exhibition is a group show bound together by a common theme there is a diversity of works and 52 very independent and strong statements See a list of the participating artists at Website wwwglasmuseetdken2010exhibitionsforthcomingbodytalklist-of-participating-artistshtml Programme of Events during the opening weekend Saturday 5th April 200pm - Artist Talk - Emma Woffenden GB 330pm - Artist Talk - Lisabeth Sterling US Sunday 6th April 1100 - Artist Talk - David Reekie GB 100pm - Performance in the glass studio - Maria Bang Espersen DK 200pm - Artist Talk - Alexander Rosenberg US 300pm - Artist Talk - Barbara Idzikowska PL Ebeltoft Glasmuseet Ebeltoft DK Tel 00 45 86 34 17 99 Email glasmuseetglasmuseetdk Website wwwglasmuseetdken2010exhibitionsforthcomingbodytalkhtml

tempt the viewer to identify the artist with the images she depicts Schaechter however does not limit the discussion of meaning to the parameters of her own autobiography Her windows function instead like Rorschach tests - revealing as much about the viewer as the artist For Schaechter meaning often arrives after the creative act and she is more interested in the possibilities of interpretation than forcing her own The push and pull between meaning and wonder is at the crux of the aesthetic experience that Schaechter offers us - Extract from Extra Virgin The Stained Glass of Judith Schaechter Schaechter has won numerous awards for her stained glass work and has displayed her work in solo and group exhibitions all over the world She has been teaching stained glass in America since 1995 and currently teaches at New York Academy Of Art The talk will be followed by a question and answer session Tickets cost pound1500 Start time to be confirmed To book please follow this link Website wwwcreativeglassguildcoukprodin-conversation-with-judith-schaechter

050414060414 ldquoBodytalkrdquo Artist Talks Ebeltoft Glasmuseet Throughout history concepts of body and sex have had a significant impact From ancient idealization of the harmonious athletic body to the 1960s liberated body and gender perceptions to the more recent depreciation of the natural body in favour of the modified eternally young body In the wake of the development of the concept of the body and that many have come to realize that society not only shapes personality and behaviour it also shapes the way in which the body appears there have also been changes to the perception of gender Today traditional gender perceptions and stereotypes including the concept of the ideal family unit are in transition and there is a lively debate about equal rights women in top positions and men in more domestic roles But what happens to our perception of body sex and gender when the concepts are illustrated and reinterpreted by a group of international artists Through an Open Call 52 artists have been selected to show their views on the subject Although the exhibition is a group show bound together by a common theme there is a diversity of works and 52 very independent and strong statements See a list of the participating artists at Website wwwglasmuseetdken2010exhibitionsforthcomingbodytalklist-of-participating-artistshtml Programme of Events during the opening weekend Saturday 5th April 200pm - Artist Talk - Emma Woffenden GB 330pm - Artist Talk - Lisabeth Sterling US Sunday 6th April 1100 - Artist Talk - David Reekie GB 100pm - Performance in the glass studio - Maria Bang Espersen DK 200pm - Artist Talk - Alexander Rosenberg US 300pm - Artist Talk - Barbara Idzikowska PL Ebeltoft Glasmuseet Ebeltoft DK Tel 00 45 86 34 17 99 Email glasmuseetglasmuseetdk Website wwwglasmuseetdken2010exhibitionsforthcomingbodytalkhtml

tempt the viewer to identify the artist with the images she depicts Schaechter however does not limit the discussion of meaning to the parameters of her own autobiography Her windows function instead like Rorschach tests - revealing as much about the viewer as the artist For Schaechter meaning often arrives after the creative act and she is more interested in the possibilities of interpretation than forcing her own The push and pull between meaning and wonder is at the crux of the aesthetic experience that Schaechter offers us - Extract from Extra Virgin The Stained Glass of Judith Schaechter Schaechter has won numerous awards for her stained glass work and has displayed her work in solo and group exhibitions all over the world She has been teaching stained glass in America since 1995 and currently teaches at New York Academy Of Art The talk will be followed by a question and answer session Tickets cost pound1500 Start time to be confirmed To book please follow this link Website wwwcreativeglassguildcoukprodin-conversation-with-judith-schaechter

tempt the viewer to identify the artist with the images she depicts Schaechter however does not limit the discussion of meaning to the parameters of her own autobiography Her windows function instead like Rorschach tests - revealing as much about the viewer as the artist For Schaechter meaning often arrives after the creative act and she is more interested in the possibilities of interpretation than forcing her own The push and pull between meaning and wonder is at the crux of the aesthetic experience that Schaechter offers us - Extract from Extra Virgin The Stained Glass of Judith Schaechter Schaechter has won numerous awards for her stained glass work and has displayed her work in solo and group exhibitions all over the world She has been teaching stained glass in America since 1995 and currently teaches at New York Academy Of Art The talk will be followed by a question and answer session Tickets cost pound1500 Start time to be confirmed To book please follow this link Website wwwcreativeglassguildcoukprodin-conversation-with-judith-schaechter

050414060414 ldquoBodytalkrdquo Artist Talks Ebeltoft Glasmuseet Throughout history concepts of body and sex have had a significant impact From ancient idealization of the harmonious athletic body to the 1960s liberated body and gender perceptions to the more recent depreciation of the natural body in favour of the modified eternally young body In the wake of the development of the concept of the body and that many have come to realize that society not only shapes personality and behaviour it also shapes the way in which the body appears there have also been changes to the perception of gender Today traditional gender perceptions and stereotypes including the concept of the ideal family unit are in transition and there is a lively debate about equal rights women in top positions and men in more domestic roles But what happens to our perception of body sex and gender when the concepts are illustrated and reinterpreted by a group of international artists Through an Open Call 52 artists have been selected to show their views on the subject Although the exhibition is a group show bound together by a common theme there is a diversity of works and 52 very independent and strong statements See a list of the participating artists at Website wwwglasmuseetdken2010exhibitionsforthcomingbodytalklist-of-participating-artistshtml Programme of Events during the opening weekend Saturday 5th April 200pm - Artist Talk - Emma Woffenden GB 330pm - Artist Talk - Lisabeth Sterling US Sunday 6th April 1100 - Artist Talk - David Reekie GB 100pm - Performance in the glass studio - Maria Bang Espersen DK 200pm - Artist Talk - Alexander Rosenberg US 300pm - Artist Talk - Barbara Idzikowska PL Ebeltoft Glasmuseet Ebeltoft DK Tel 00 45 86 34 17 99 Email glasmuseetglasmuseetdk Website wwwglasmuseetdken2010exhibitionsforthcomingbodytalkhtml
