Peter Layton’s annual Solo Shows have become a much anticipated event in the London Glassblowing calendar. This year, as he turns 85, we are celebrating his irrepressible energy and creativity with an exhibition titled ‘A Kind of Magic’.
About
This exhibition includes a new collection of work called Jazz, which revels in the improvisational and playful nature of its making. In part inspired by African fabrics, Jazz imparts a joyful energy, and in this auspicious time of the UN International Year of Glass, lends a jubilant character to this exhibition.
"My intention is to show a number of groups which, when seen together, will tell a story and where each piece explores some aspect of the core theme. The blue and yellow pieces speak of a very different reality. In our attempt to show solidarity with the heroic Ukrainian resistance to Russian aggression, we will be making a 20% donation from the sale of each of these pieces to the UNICEF Ukraine Appeal.
In an effort to create a physical timeline, I am also including several pieces that are significant markers in my career in glass, and which highlight aspects of my practice over the years.”
Peter’s work goes from strength to strength, so don’t miss seeing the eye-popping colours of his vibrant new collections.
