I just received a lovely email from the new owner of ‘Landscape Collection’, this piece was bought from the New Directions exhibition at Mottisfont Abbey. I get rather attached to my work so it’s great to hear when the pieces are settled in their new homes.
I’ve been working away & building up quite a collection of pieces I need to cold work, these little fellas have been receiving some much needed tlc this afternoon…
I am now attempting Twitter take 2. My first attempt was quite frankly pathetic! Hopefully, this time i’ll be a little more active, so i’ll try my best and if you have the time and you’re at all interested stop by and maybe, if you think it’s worth a click of the mouse, give me a follow and i’ll try and reward you with the occasional photo and snippet of info.
You’ll find me here @LouisaF_glass.
On Thursday I went back to Prague to collect my two largest pieces as the Libensky award show has now finished.

It was only a flying visit as I had to deliver the pieces to Mottisfont Abbey in Hampshire the next day, the pieces are now set up in the gallery there along with a set of shelves showing my smaller glass & paper pieces. The work looks great, they have done a fantastic job it’s a really nice space & all festive now too! I don’t have any photos unfortunately, my phone died while i was in Prague.
I now have a couple of new pieces in the lovely Itch gallery in Oakham, great to have some of my more recent pieces there.
As I mentioned in the last post my work will soon be on show at Mottisfont Abbey in Hampshire.
If, by any chance, any of you are in the area on Friday feel free to pop in to the preview and have a nosey. I’ll be there, i’ll be hot-footing it from Prague with my 2 largest pieces of work fresh from the Libensky award show at Prague Castle.
A couple of months ago, probably longer than that but time’s been whizzing by lately so i’ve lost count of where I am; anyway… I have been invited to take part in a new exhibition called New Directions in Contemporary Craft at Mottisfont Abbey in Hampshire. I’m really excited about this one as my work will be shown alongside other recent graduates and established makers, previous exhibitions i’ve taken part in have been made up of just recent graduates so this is something new, and as I said, exciting!
Here’s a lovely description of my work I have found online here
I shall be delivering some of my work there tomorrow and delivering the rest on the day of the preview – cutting it fine yes, but I am delivering the pieces there directly from the Libensky award in Prague, it’s going to be a hectic couple of days but well worth it.
Find the Mottisfont Abbey National Trust page here.
The exhibition will run from 1st December to the 27th January, hopefully some of you will be able to make it; i’ll be showing some of my larger pieces as well as a collection of my smaller pieces which help to show the development of my work.
Well, a week and a bit has gone by since Lustre in Nottingham and i’m just getting round to the update. I had a great time, met some lovely people and heard some fantastic feedback, I was blown away by the nice things people were saying about my work, so if any of you are reading this, thank you very much, it’s nice to know all the hard work was worth it!
Here’s a rather poor photo of my space, forgot the proper camera whilst trying to remember all the other important stuff.
There are quite a few reviews and articles about the Libensky award floating round, most in czech though unfortunately so I have no idea what they say, I have found one I can read though, here you are, take a look if you are interested…

There is also a nice video showing some of the work, again, in czech, so who knows what they are saying, the images are great though! My work is 27 seconds in.

Well, i’m back from Prague, I had a great time and got the opportunity to see some incredible pieces of glass and meet some fantastic people.
Below are my pages from the rather lovely, glossy catalogue from the exhibition.
