Glassumimass

Glassumimass This page is dedicated to artsNK's Glassumimass Project. The lamps, aka Glassumis, have been created by using stained and kiln-fired glass techniques.

Working with stained and kiln fired glass techniques to produce a series of unique glass lanterns inspired by the churches of North Kesteven district. Glassumimass is a community glass project that has resulted in three hand crafted glass lanterns inspired by churches along the Spires & Steeples Arts & Heritage Trail. The title is a composite derived from the nature of the medium (glass) plus the

words 'illumination' and 'mass'. This artsNK initiated project started in 2010 with the aim to design and create a series of standard lamps. The group members have pushed the boundaries of their knowledge and experience in order to realise their designs! Billinghay blacksmith, Ian Caudwell, has provided the custom-made ironwork that has been integral to the completion of the designs. The Glassumis will be touring to churches along the Spires & Steeples route in 2016/ 2017.

A creative glass project

Glassumimass is a creative glass project initiated by artsNK and led by Marion Sander. In 2010, a small community group was brought together at the National Centre for Crafts and Design in Sleaford, Lincolnshire, to work on the design and creation of 3 large scale glass lanterns. Using kiln formed and stained glass techniques the project takes its inspiration from the beautiful churches along the Spires & Steeples Arts and Heritage Trail, from Lincoln Cathedral to St Denys’ in Sleaford.

The project title is a composite derived from the medium (glass) plus the words ‘illumination’ and ‘mass’, in reference to the churches which have inspired them. The individual lanterns are endearingly called ‘Glassumis’. Billinghay Blacksmith, Ian Caudwell has created the custom-made ironwork which was integral to the completion of the designs. Glassumimass is touring church venues across Lincolnshire since October 2016.

Members of the Glassumimass group who have contributed to the project are: Gillian Wing, David Wing, Joan Dalton, Margot Charlton, Ann Hughes, Sarah Graves, Carol Hornby, Cecelia Gray Smith, Ruth Pigott, Carole Oliver, Liz Pearson and Marion Sander
