Breath Taking

Jessica Lloyd-Jones, Fresh Air.

While I was in Aberdeen last week I stumbled upon the Breath Taking handblown glass exhibition at Aberdeen Art Gallery, a Crafts Council touring exhibition. I actually kind of avoided it at first, for some silly reason I thought it wouldn't be that interesting but I'm SO GLAD I wandered into the exhibition room, it was incredible! The sheer skill of the glass blowers was completely awe inspiring, and there wasn't even a boring old wine glass in sight! Breath Taking was playful and ironic, and turned any previous opinion I had of glass blowing as a tired old craft completely upside down. It was WOW.
