The exhibition features around 25 pieces by renowned South African and international glass artists, as well as a collective display of Graal pieces created during the biennale, two TUT student collaborations (including an international project with De Montfort University in the UK) and a curated showcase of glass jewellery. There will be live hot-glass demonstrations throughout the opening, with several of the international guest artists working at the furnace.

We hope to see you there!
