Adam Aaronson Summer Exhibitions

July -September 2021

Cloudscape 3 – Glass sculpture by Adam Aaronson

Here are details of my exhibitions this summer.

Most of these exhibitions are group shows where a number of artists working in different media are participating. I hope to see you at one or more of them. In the meantime, if you haven’t had a look at my website recently have a look in my new shop http://adamaaronson.com/shop/
It goes without saying that all the venues have taken steps to be Covid compliant. There is always a risk that dates may have to be re-arranged should the Government introduce new restrictions, so it is probably worth checking with me or with the venues in advance closer to the time.

The Shape of Colour

5th June 2018/in Events, Exhibitions, News, Uncategorised/by Adam Aaronson

The Shape of Colour

The Shape of Colour is an Exhibition of glass sculptures and abstract paintings.

This June, Adam Aaronson is taking part in Surrey Artists Open Studios in a joint exhibition with Elizabeth Hauck, the well-known abstract expressionist painter based in West Horsley in Surrey.

Location

The exhibition will be in at Liz’s house and studio in Shere Road, West Horsley. It will include Adam’s glass sculptures in the house and garden as well as Liz’s paintings and drawings.

Supporting Tujitane

There is a story behind this exhibition, linking art in Surrey to art in Africa. For the past two years Liz has been sponsoring Visual Arts at Tujatane, Tongabezi Trust School. This school is located in Zambia, close to Victoria Falls.

In Liz’s words: “We now have the opportunity to build a Community Art Centre for the children at the school and for adults in the surrounding area. I will be donating all the proceeds from painting sales to this project. Adam is donating 20% of the ticket price of his sculptures. “The Shape of Colour” exhibition is an opportunity to support art in Surrey. Simultaneously you can help those less fortunate develop their creativity and improve their lives”

Adam is thrilled to be showing his work in such a wonderful setting and delighted to be supporting this excellent cause. We do hope you will be able to come along and join us.

Opening times

The exhibition is open to the public on June 15^th, 16^th and 17^th 11am to 5pm. It is also open the following week by appointment from June 18^th -22^nd.

Adam’s glass blowing demonstrations are exciting and interesting to watch. If you are unable to visit at these times, the chances are that there will be some glassblowing to watch at most times during Open Studios, so it is worth dropping in.

Glass blowing Taster Courses in June 2018 for Open Studios

24th May 2018/in Events, News, Uncategorised/by Adam Aaronson

Glass Blowing Taster Courses

Come and try your hand at one of our glass blowing taster courses with Adam Aaronson during SAOS – Surrey Artists Open Studios 2018

Click here for details about our Glass Blowing Demonstrations

PERFECT FOR BEGINNERS

These glass blowing taster courses are perfect for novices. You don’t need any experience at all, as we go through the process carefully. We welcome children aged 9 years upwards. We have no upper age limit and the oldest student so far was aged 92! But please advise us when you are booking if participants will be under 18 and please note that a parent or other responsible adult must accompany children. And, if you would like to make more than one item, just book two spaces!

These courses are dynamic, hands-on workshops, during which each participant makes their own coloured glass paperweight, bowl, tumbler, vase or other object from a choice of styles.

Demonstrating the process in a taster session

Each session starts with a safety briefing. Then Adam Aaronson gives a demonstration showing how you will make your glass creation, with assistance from Adam and one of his assistants, Will, Candice or Gina, to make their paperweight or other item. We adapt to each individual’s ability, giving you more or less assistance as required. Next, each person chooses their colours and style and works in turn on an individual basis with Adam and his assistant to create their unique piece. We have to anneal your glass creation overnight. Then we will need to grind and polish it. So it will usually be ready for collection 48 hours after the course. As a finishing touch we will engrave your name on the base. We very much encourage you to take photographs during the session, so don’t forget to bring your camera or phone.

Dates, Prices and Times

Our glassblowing taster courses cost £50 per person.

You can book on-line here

We have sessions at 9.30am and 11.30am on June 1,2, 3, 7, 8, 9, 10, 14, 22 & 29

We have sessions at 2pm and 4pm on June 1 & 29

There are usually up to 9 students per session

Glassblowing Taster Courses

16th January 2018/in Events, Uncategorised, Workshops/by Adam Aaronson

Glassblowing Taster Courses

We are introducing a new series of Glassblowing Taster Courses in early 2018. Until recently, we have only been running our short Glassblowing Taster Courses in June during Surrey Artists Open Studios.

However, these have been so popular that we have decided to run more Glassblowing Taster Courses this year. But we are still running our half-day courses on a regular basis as well. We also continue to offer the opportunity to develop your skills and currently have a number of students who come and blow glass on a regular basis.

Dates and Times

These short Glassblowing Taster Courses, which last around 90 minutes, take place on Fridays and Saturdays. On most Fridays there are four sessions, two in the morning, at 9.30am and 11.30am and two in the afternoon at 2pm and 4pm. A couple of times a month, we are running courses on Saturday mornings, at 9.30am and 11.30am. There will also be some Saturdays when we have afternoon sessions as well. The calendar shows courses from the end of January to the end of March.

You can see available dates here and also book online

Choice of pieces to make

You can choose to blow a tumbler, bowl, vase or scent bottle. Or you can opt to make a paperweight, heart, bird or other solid item. The course costs £50 (inc VAT) per piece and you can book more than one space if you want to make more than one piece. Some people might want to make three or four pieces and that’s fine. But if that’s what you’re thinking you may find it more worthwhile to do our half day course.

SAOS Surrey Artists Open Studios

During SAOS we will be running extra days with our short glass blowing taster courses. These will be available to book over the coming weeks.

What to wear

All safety equipment and materials are provided but please wear covered shoes and clothing suitable for a workshop environment.

We start each session with a safety briefing. Then Adam Aaronson gives a demonstration showing the method that each person will use to make the item of their choice, with assistance from Adam and one of his assistants, Will, Candice or Gina.

Next, choose your colours and style and work in turn on an individual basis with Adam and his assistant to create your unique piece.

No experience necessary

We adapt to each individual’s ability, giving you more or less assistance as required. This event is great fun to do on your own, or together with a group of family and friends.

Photographs

You will probably take lots of photographs, during your glassblowing short taster course. So don’t forget to charge up your camera or your phone! Feel free to post images on instagram with the hashtag #adamaaronsonglass. Here is a link to our instagram page and also our Facebook page.

Your glass creation (s) needs to anneal in a kiln overnight. Our team will then grind and polish the base before signing it with your name, so usually you can collect your work on the following Friday.

We can arrange delivery to a UK address. This costs £10.

Celebration of Craftsmanship in Clerkenwell

17th May 2017/in Events, Exhibitions, Uncategorised/by Adam Aaronson

Celebration of Craftsmanship in Clerkenwell

Adam Aaronson is participating in the prestigious Celebration of Craftsmanship exhibition at Craft Central, in London’s Clerkenwell. The exhibition runs from 16-20th May. It is open from 12 noon until 7pm every day and is part of Clerkenwell Design Week 2017.

Celebration of Craftsmanship usually takes place in Cheltenham in August. This exhibition at Craft Central is designed as a preview or taster of some of the artists selected for the Cheltenham show. The main exhibiton in Cheltenham is considerably larger than the London exhibition.

Clerkenwell Design Week

Clerkenwell is one of London’s largest design hubs. Apparently, there are more creative businesses and architects per square mile than anywhere else in the world. Clerkenwell Design Week celebrates this rich and diverse community. The event showcases leading UK and international brands and companies. These are presented in a series of showroom events, exhibitions and special installations that take place across the area.

Journey down memory lane

Craft Central, in St John’s Square is located less than five minutes walk from Turnmill Street, where Adam Aaronson’s first studio was situated from 1987 to 1989.

Adam says “It is very exciting to be back in Clerkenwell and to be exhibiting round the corner from my old studio. I found that this brought back many happy memories. The neighbourhood has changed enormously since the eighties and there is much more going on”.

Visitors to Celebration of Craftsmanship will find a good selection of Adam’s landscape bowls and vases. Adam is also exhibitin some of his dramatic new lustre bowls. The works displayed are all unique one-off pieces. prices range from £175 to £750.

The main Celebration of Craftsmanship Exhibition takes place in Cheltenham during August. Adam will also be exhibiting there with a wider selection of his work. If you would like an invitation to the August exhibition please email Adam.

Collectors who are interested in contemporary makers, working in different disciplines, will find that this exhibition is well worth a visit.

Dramatic Rainbow Glass Rope Bridge

7th May 2017/in Events, Exhibitions, Uncategorised/by Adam Aaronson

Adam Aaronson is exhibiting a dramatic Rainbow Glass Rope Bridge at Birtley House.

Asked about the inspiration and thought process behind his dramatic rainbow glass rope bridge, Adam said:

“I often think that all people, regardless of their background, are really just in different phases of a similar metaphorical journey. Each person is seeking the security and happiness, which perhaps they can find at the end of the rainbow.

“For some, however, life can also involve a literal journey. A refugee, for example, seeking a safe haven, is likely to be on a long journey full of pitfalls, sometimes needing to cross several frontiers. Whereas a commuter on the daily trudge to work may see life as a treadmill. But their journey is nowhere near as precarious. However, sometimes if the traffic is held up or the train is delayed, the commuter can feel that the world is falling apart. Everything is relative and in reality the commuter knows that their future is secure.”

Adam intends his ‘Rope Bridge’, aside from being a dramatic and colourful sculpture, to be an allegory for this journey. Of course the journey is much more uncertain for some than for others. Life is full of pitfalls. What could be more precarious than a rope bridge made of glass?

“I have deliberately created a form with bright colours that echo a rainbow, perceiving this as a metaphor for our times. What we will find at the end of the rainbow?”

Adam has installed the ‘Rope-Bridge” at the edge of the lake at Birtley and it crosses the water to an island, which seems like a safe haven. Visitors have commented that the reflections in the water are enchanting.

Other installation possibilities

The dramatic “Rope Bridge” comes with the steel supports shown, (not including the weights on the base), however, if you would prefer to consider different installation options, please contact us. For example you could suspend the “Rope Bridge” between two trees.

Each glass element has been individually blown. Each tread is approximately 50cm wide with a diameter of around 4cm. There are 49 elements in this dramatic rainbow glass rope bridge sculpture, including six clear elements. The clear elements, seen from a distance, suggest gaps in the bridge, accentuating the pitfalls in the journey.
