Text from object entry in A. Game (2016) ‘Contemporary British Crafts: The Goodison Gift to the Fitzwilliam Museum’. London: Philip Wilson Publishers: Bob Crooks studied at West Surrey College of Art and Design spending a student year working at the Glasshouse, London, as assistant to Ronnie Wilkinson (1928–92), the former Master Glassmaker at Whitefriars Glassworks. Following a period as the workshop manager with Glassworks Ltd, Crooks established his own company, First Glass, in Gloucestershire in 1990, relocating to London in 1994 and to its current home in Devon in 2002. He is a master of hot-glass techniques: each piece is designed, made and finished by him without the use of moulds. The brilliant colours and patterns of plant forms are a constant source of ideas, as are the properties of the material itself. In 2008 he was awarded the Glass Sellers Art Award by the Worshipful Company of Glass Sellers. This and the following item formed part of a series of anniversary commissions for the florist Paula Pryke as part of an exhibition Spring Fever at Contemporary Applied Arts, London in 2000. ‘Athleticism and quick decision-making are essential in hot glassmaking. The storm and stress of hot glassmaking are what gets Bob Crooks’ creative juices flowing. He is above all a colourist, who makes colours sing and dance: because of the fluency one forgets that it is born of great technical ingenuity and consummate skill.’ Dan Klein (1938–2009), glass historian, curator, author and decorative arts specialist reference term-109891 adlib-term-109891 ad6efeb2-90e2-3107-ada3-8348ed09c40f 21st Century, Early reference term-107700 adlib-term-107700 8f5360fb-b262-3ae9-8942-b81cc0e3e848 Elizabeth II reference term-107139 adlib-term-107139 9fd5ef13-3709-388f-b925-702787340e32 literal England England country England Height cm 10.8 Width cm 43.5 reference media-196692 adlib-media-196692 00b6fd84-a73e-39ba-b074-9457b47571ef jpeg aa/aa33/large_C_14_2000_1_200806_mfj22_dc2.jpg 1 height pixels 644 width pixels 1023 1702926558494 1 image jpeg aa/aa33/mid_C_14_2000_1_200806_mfj22_dc2.jpg 1 height pixels 315 width pixels 500 1702926558494 1 image jpeg aa/aa33/C_14_2000_1_200806_mfj22_dc2.jpg 1 height pixels 645 width pixels 1025 1702926558494 1 image jpeg aa/aa33/preview_C_14_2000_1_200806_mfj22_dc2.jpg 1 height pixels 157 width pixels 249 1702926558494 1 image 0 media image reference media-196856 adlib-media-196856 02e72922-c488-34e5-927b-7f884a653170 jpeg aa/aa34/large_C_14_2000_2_200806_mfj22_dc2.jpg 1 height pixels 729 width pixels 1024 1702926446691 1 image jpeg aa/aa34/mid_C_14_2000_2_200806_mfj22_dc2.jpg 1 height pixels 356 width pixels 500 1702926446691 1 image jpeg aa/aa34/C_14_2000_2_200806_mfj22_dc2.jpg 1 height pixels 730 width pixels 1025 1702926446691 1 image jpeg aa/aa34/preview_C_14_2000_2_200806_mfj22_dc2.jpg 1 height pixels 178 width pixels 250 1702926446691 1 image 1 media image reference term-126491 adlib-term-126491 76ae2bd9-edda-30f2-99b2-983cbdf03460 flower container object name reference term-109889 adlib-term-109889 9d2b434a-b03b-3dfa-8bb5-5d0ced5829c3 studio glass category history note Purchased by the donors from Contemporary Applied Arts, 2 Percy Street, London, W1P 9FA reference agent-149638 adlib-agent-149638 7376d833-d0a7-3be0-916e-9c892b7a24d8 The Fitzwilliam Museum Publ.
