Game (2016) ‘Contemporary British Crafts: The Goodison Gift to the Fitzwilliam Museum’. London: Philip Wilson Publishers: Tessa Clegg studied Glassmaking between 1979 and 1982 at Stourbridge College of Art. She established an independent studio in London and began to design and develop ideas for glass vessels using the ancient pâte de verre technique which had been receiving renewed attention from, among others, her college tutor, Keith Cummings (b.1940). Her pursuit of the perfectly proportioned vessel involved considerable technical experiment, culminating in a series of pleated bowls in which she was able to control both inside and outside surfaces, and the introduction of colour through pioneering a technique of frit casting in a kiln, using a mould made by the lost-wax technique. By the late 1990s, following an international programme of exhibitions, she produced the first in a series of more formal sculptural works, cast in glass. These still drew on the functional form, but abstracted and simplified the detail to allow greater play of inner and outer structures. In 1998, she was awarded the prestigious Jerwood Prize for Applied Arts: Glass. ‘These works have a monumentality of visual concept … each piece of glass takes time to appreciate; it creeps discreetly into subconscious awareness, thereafter claiming attention. There are no complications, but equally there are no concessions.’ Jennifer Opie, former Curator of Glass at the Victoria and Albert Museum A life history interview with Tessa Clegg is available at http://sounds.bl.uk/Oral-history/Crafts reference term-109890 adlib-term-109890 825251c2-9904-34be-b6ab-c855347f2247 20th Century, Late reference term-107700 adlib-term-107700 8f5360fb-b262-3ae9-8942-b81cc0e3e848 Elizabeth II reference term-106216 adlib-term-106216 825b8379-ec94-388e-9a59-624e40c090d0 literal England England country London Height cm 8.6 reference media-196683 adlib-media-196683 b72b9b7a-02b5-3a25-a2d4-91482e725789 jpeg aa/aa33/large_C_13_20_26_20A_1999_1_201409_kly25_dc2.jpg 1 height pixels 768 width pixels 1024 1616274043448 1 image jpeg aa/aa33/mid_C_13_20_26_20A_1999_1_201409_kly25_dc2.jpg 1 height pixels 375 width pixels 500 1616274043448 1 image jpeg aa/aa33/C_13_20_26_20A_1999_1_201409_kly25_dc2.jpg 1 height pixels 769 width pixels 1025 1616274043448 1 image jpeg aa/aa33/preview_C_13_20_26_20A_1999_1_201409_kly25_dc2.jpg 1 height pixels 188 width pixels 250 1616274043448 1 image 0 media image reference media-196852 adlib-media-196852 cbce4007-dd81-3d48-95ea-b46b92c74928 jpeg aa/aa34/large_C_13_20_26_20A_1999_2_201409_kly25_dc2.jpg 1 height pixels 768 width pixels 1024 1616277984369 1 image jpeg aa/aa34/mid_C_13_20_26_20A_1999_2_201409_kly25_dc2.jpg 1 height pixels 375 width pixels 500 1616277984369 1 image jpeg aa/aa34/C_13_20_26_20A_1999_2_201409_kly25_dc2.jpg 1 height pixels 769 width pixels 1025 1616277984369 1 image jpeg aa/aa34/preview_C_13_20_26_20A_1999_2_201409_kly25_dc2.jpg 1 height pixels 188 width pixels 250 1616277984369 1 image 1 media image reference term-42494 adlib-term-42494 b814b8fb-b682-3d5b-9e10-7e7c0dd16cb7 container object name reference term-109889 adlib-term-109889 9d2b434a-b03b-3dfa-8bb5-5d0ced5829c3 studio glass category history note Purchased by the donors from Adrian Sassoon, 14 Rutland Gate, London, SW7 1BB 1 reference object-126939 adlib-object-126939 0ee1edd3-7ede-3904-8486-4b41eea191d9
