Aspects of 20th Century Stained Glass
31 July - 1 August
Glaziers' Hall, London
|
‘Aspects of 20th Century
Stained Glass’ follows the success of the BSMGP conference ‘19th
Century Glass Painting’ held at Glaziers’ Hall in 2005. The
conference will present an historically considered overview of the
far-reaching developments in stained glass which took place throughout
the 20th century – in particular the first three-quarters of that
century, from which we have enough distance to examine it with some
objectivity.
Eminent speakers from the UK, Europe and the USA include:
• Peter Cormack – Teaching stained glass in the Arts & Crafts
era in the UK
• Dr Iris Nestler – The influence of modern art on the first half of
20th century glass in Germany
• Julie L Sloan – Early 20th century stained glass: Frank Lloyd.Wright
and Charles Rennie Mackintosh
• Martin Harrison – The persistence of Gothic: post-War stained glass
in the UK and beyond
• Wilhelm Derix with Andrea McKay – Modern German stained glass:
Schreiter, Schafrath, Poensgen, Klos
• Patrick Reyntiens OBE – The vital exchange: the interconnection of
vision, imagination and teaching which has benefited both the arts of
painting and stained glass
• Alex Beleschenko – trained in the 1970s – influences and context of
his development (evening lecture)

The North East has a rich and
diverse heritage and its future, along with regional tourism, employment and a
sense of place for those who live here, is literally in the hands of those who
care for it. ....
There has been long and growing concern at the loss of traditional skills and
the impact of that loss on the cultural heritage sector. ...
The pilot year of the Heritage Skills Project demonstrated, through a series of
pragmatic partnership programmes, the North East’s ability and desire to provide
action. ...
Through further funding from English Heritage, National Heritage Training Group
and European Social Fund we are able to increase the programme tenfold this year
to 63 days of exciting skills related activities and look forward to seeing many
of you at the events, taster days, lectures and hopefully the Heritage Skills
Fair in July.

Since 1997 the Historic
Buildings and Conservation team at Essex County Council have run a
series of one, two or three day hands-on courses in traditional
building skills. The courses aim to address the declining numbers of
people trained in traditional craft skills and to raise awareness of
the importance of protecting our historic buildings by using the
appropriate methods and materials to repair and conserve them.
The courses are run from our workshop at Cressing Temple but where
possible we use live sites throughout the county. Our tutors are all
excellent craftsmen
who run their own businesses using their skills every day, and have a
wealth of experience and knowledge.

The Twentieth Century Society
Understanding Twentieth Century Buildings - A Short Course
11, 18, 25 September 2008 |
The 20th century saw the construction of buildings unlike
any that had come before. War, politics, economics, innovations in production
and materials and social change all played their part in shaping modern Britain.
The legacy is large and whilst appreciation of the very best of buildings and
designs of the period is now widespread, professionals and decision makers often
lack specialist knowledge in this field which has become vital for conservation
professionals to understand.

Urban Design - Masterclass Series
M3: The role of trees in
our city
Tuesday 30 September 2008 |
London needs good
urban design. As a world city, it competes with cities renowned for the quality
of their public spaces, streets, parks and buildings. This drive for quality
needs to happen in the suburbs as much as in the tourist hot-spots. All London’s
citizens deserve to live, work, learn and play in well designed, easy to use
places.
This masterclass will be delivered in partnership with Design for London. It
will look at the important role trees play in our city and will show you how to
tell if
you are getting the right trees in the right places. The session will also look
at issues of insurance claims and how to trench over
roots to prevent damage to buildings.
