Postcard Project
Working with veterans from Phoenix House Recovery Centre, Catterick, sixteen students from St John’s School, Bishop Auckland as well as brothers-in-arms, each person designed and created their own glass postcard, each having personal significance, telling a poignant story. The crosses were on display in Durham Cathedral as part of the Festival of Remembrance Concert, a fundraising concert in aid of ABF The Soldiers’ Charity.

ArtWorks Fellowship Recipient 2016
Artists Effie Burns and Sue Woolhouse have spent the last year taking part in the ArtWorks Fellowship, a national project overseen by Barbican and funded by the Paul Hamlyn Foundation. ArtWorks is a scheme supporting artists who work directly with the public sharing their skills and inspiring creativity. Effie Burns and Sue Woolhouse both do a great deal of work at National Glass Centre supporting our learning programme and encouraging people of all ages and abilities to work with glass. The Fellowship has provided both artists with opportunities to develop their own skills, which will in turn, feed through into the workshops they offer.
