The Aberystwyth symposium offers glass makers, and others interested in glass, the opportunity to get together, hear speakers and network. Catrin Jones will talk about the background and process of making glass artworks for the public realm, remaining adaptable, the challenges involved in working to a brief, a budget and to a deadline, culminating in her most recent project for 'The Leri', a new cancer unit for Bronglais hospital, Aberystwyth.

At a symposium held at Bild-Werk Frauenau and the Frauenau Glass Museum, we will bring together the experiences of a summer dedicated to stained glass. Keynote presentations and panel discussions will address the preservation of traditional craftsmans- hip, public recognition and visibility, support for emerging talent, and cross-border networking in contemporary stained glass practice. The goal of RISK & RESONANCE is to explore new perspectives for the future of stained glass in all its diverse forms. Frauenau — the glass heart of the Eastern Bavarian glass region — aims to become a forum and hotspot for stained glass and flat glass art.
