National Glass Centre
Entering a new partnership with Sunderland University, the National Glass Centre was the first major building to open in the UK funded by a Capital Arts Lottery award. It combines the science, production and art of glass within the innovative architectural vision
of Gollifer Associates.
An international call for artists' proposals led to the commissioning of three artists to produce glass commissions within the building programme.
For the Sunderland Room Bridget Jones employed the hand blown glass that had been made in Sunderland since the era of Bede to create a series of leaded panels that tell the story of glassmaking on Wearside.
