projects
Over the years, as well as creating work, exhibiting and teaching, I have undertaken a number of commissions,
projects, and part-time programming positions in the field of contemporary art and glass. These have taken the
form of discreet art events, presentation and curatorial commissions, catalogue essays, and fundraising events,
as well as ongoing part-time positions such as Artistic Director for North Lands Creative Glass (2003-07). These projects
and part-time positions have helped place glass in the broader context, they are something I enjoy doing and have been very successful.
