Dear Friends,
The international glass community is still not making full use of the internet.
This is unfortunate since, as a means of communication, the internet provides tremendous opportunities for making oneself known. It allows for uninterrupted distribution of news and information aimed at specific targets such as collectors or publishers.
Pole Verrier can help establish your reputation, support the launch of new products, or publicize a special event... all for a nominal fee.
Or team of experts understands your needs and is eager to serve you. So please don't hesitate to contact us.
Wishing you a happy holiday season,
Cordially yours,
Denis Simermann, pole@idverre.net
Thank you to give us all your informations (exhibitions, events, new creations, press articles...) to the following address : pole@idverre.net

The exhibition will highlight the wealth of talent in contemporary glass, focusing on work which displays innovation and originality. The exhibition will be held from 22nd September / 4th November 2007 at the Devon Guild of Craftsmen in Bovey Tracey.

International Exhibition Of Glass 2007
Touring Exhibition. Korinbo Daiwa Department Store Exhibition Hall. Kanazawa./Notojima Glass Art Museum. Ishikawa-ken. J.
The International Exhibition of Glass Kanazawa, first established in 1984 as the world's only international glass exhibition with public call for entry, will have its 10th. memorial event in 2007. In each of the past events, the exhibition drew many excellent works from some 40 countries and has been highly recognised as a global showcase of the new trends in the world of glass art. Kanazawa City is renowned as one of Japanese representative traditional cities. The blessed natural environment with the lures of four seasons has nurtured many traditional arts and crafts in Kanazawa, such as lacquer-ware and ceramics, and people there have treasured and used such traditional arts and crafts as an integral part of their daily lives.
Under such circumstances, this exhibition has been convened for the purpose of breeding in Kanazawa new cultures and industries utilising glass, as well as to evoke creativity in other areas of arts/crafts and local industries.
We hope this exhibition will help explore the potential of glass and look forward to receiving wide varieties of excellent glass works as ever, from glass as daily utensils to the glass as new artistic expressions. It is our sincere hope that glass-lovers from every corner of the world will participate in this exhibition. All works submitted to the final assessment will be exhibited in 'International Exhibition Of Glass Kanazawa 2007'. The exhibition will take place in a department store in the central area of Kanazawa City, and then in Notojima Glass Art Museum, the only public museum in Japan that specialises in glass art.
Deadline: Monday, 05/03/07. Contact, The Executive Committee of the International Exhibition of Glass Kanazawa, Address 1, C/o. Design Centre Ishikawa. Address 2, 2-20 Kuratsuki, Kanazawa. J920-8203 Ishikawa. JAPAN.

'CO[]ECT 2007'.
This collaboration between Dan Klein Associates and Adrian Sassoon for 'CO[]ECT 2007' was designed specifically to mount the exhibition 'Four Decades Of Glass: Graduates From The Royal College Of Art, 1967–2007'.
The exhibition celebrates 40 years of excellence since the new spirit of glass was introduced into the curriculum at the Royal College of Art at the instigation of The Lord Queensberry, the then head of the Ceramics & Glass department. It showcases the work of thirteen well known Glass Artists, all of whom studied at the R.C.A. and have gone on to enjoy successful careers as artists in glass both in Great Britain and internationally. Pauline Solven who graduated in 1968 was among the first crop of 'new wave' graduate students to choose a life as an artist in glass, a totally new concept at the time. Laura Birdsall is the youngest artist in the group and only graduated in 2006 by which time there was nothing unfamiliar about aspiring to be a glass artist.
When Sam Herman, at the invitation of The Lord Queensberry in 1967, established and led the first short course in glass making at the Royal College it attracted colleges up and down the country to follow suit and by the mid-1980s there were thirteen undergraduate courses in Great Britain. Museums and art galleries are becoming increasingly interested in a new dimension that glass has brought to the art world with its unique qualities of reflected and transmitted light. In the past forty years the technical ingenuity and artistic scope of artistry in glass has inspired collectors, writers and curators to focus their interests on glass as never before.
The thirteen artists in 'Four Decades Of Glass: Graduates From The Royal College Of Art, 1967-2007' are: Margaret Alston (graduated 1985), Galia Amsel (graduated 1991), Laura Birdsall (graduated 2006), Clare Henshaw (graduated 1990), Angela Jarman (graduated 2001), Carl Nordbruch (graduated 2000), Steven Newell (graduated 1974), Clifford Rainey (graduated 1973), Gerhard Ribka (graduated 1988), Bruno Romanelli (graduated 1995), Pauline Solven (graduated 1968), Sylvie Vandenhoucke (graduated 2001) & Rachael Woodman (graduated 1984).
