To continue the celebration of this landmark anniversary and to raise awareness of the glory of contemporary glass, a series of linked exhibitions are being held around Great Britain over the next three years. This circular tour will start and end in the South West.

CGS has chosen the Creative Innovation Centre (CIC) and Taunton as the first venue.

Twenty Five artists based in the South West took part in this first exhibition.
