M.Saare, D.Reekie and D.Gudovskis

To celebrate its 10th anniversary the Contemporary Glass Society whose aim has been “to encourage excellence in glass as a creative medium and to develop a greater awareness of contemporary glass world-wide” organized an impressive survey exhibition of contemporary international glass in the Riverside Mill gallery (Devon Guild of Craftsmen) at Bovey Tracey, Southern England from September 21 to November 4, 2007.

Most of the 28 exhibitors were from Great Britain, the Baltic countries were represented by Dainis Gudovskis from Latvia and Mare Saare from Estonia. Saare’s works were black glass plate objects, engraved and fired in author’s own technique, from the series “Stories of Creation”.

The overall concept of the exhibition could be expressed by keywords “uniqueness, preciseness, elegance, multiple messages”.
