STOURBRIDGE’S General Office Gallery is hosting an exhibition of contemporary studio glass as part of this year’s International Festival of Glass.

The exhibition features new works by Martin Andrews, Vic Bamforth, Corrina Field, Paul Floyd, Steve Jackson, Melissa Nicholls, David Reekie and Morag Reekie.

David Reekie’s figurative forms, made using lost wax technique, express his unique vision of the human condition.

David’s daughter Morag Reekie’s colourful glass sculptures have evolved from drawings inspired by playing with her children.

Corrina Field explores themes of mysticism and ritual through the combination of glass with raw elements.

Martin Andrews’ works attempt to freeze a moment in time, capturing the essence of the moving material that is molten glass.

Vic Bamforth combines hand-painting and glass-blowing skills to create one-off internationally collected, sculptural works of art.

Steve Jackson’s practice is influenced by the fluidity and spontaneity of the materials.

Paul Floyd employs fused, kiln-formed and fire-polished glass in his wall hanging art pieces. Melissa Nicholls’ recent work is an abstract representation of the mind and how it is affected by illness, such as dementia.

Running until Sunday September 4, the exhibition also features two well-known works by the late Harry Seager.

The gallery, at 12 Hagley Road, is open Wednesday to Sunday, 11am to 4pm, and Bank Holiday Monday August 29 - 11am to 4pm Admission is free.
