National Glass Centre: Light Transformer

National Glass Centre: Light Transformer

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.

Zora Palova and Stepan Pala brought glass casting techniques from Bratislava to create 'Light Transformer'.
