The project put forward for this year's competition is for an emerging glass artist to design a feature window (approximately 1140mm wide x 3100mm high) in the new In-Patient Unit at St. Michael’s Hospice, Hereford.
Eligibility to this competition should be interpreted to embrace all those at an early stage of their career as reflected by the stipulation of studying or being within five years of completing training. The competition is organised by The Worshipful Company of Glaziers and Painters of Glass, supported by WorldSkills UK.

PILCHUCK EMERGING ARTIST IN RESIDENCE PROGRAMME
The EAiR program at Pilchuck supports artists who are making a transition in their professional lives. Whether moving from academia to a professional studio practice, taking up a new medium, or beginning a new body of work, artists find this independent residency ideal for contemplation, research, and experimentation. The program provides artists with a place and the time to develop an idea or project in glass, with the potential for realizing a new body of work.
The residency requires a project proposal and supports kilnworking, coldworking, printmaking, and use of mixed media but not hot glassworking. The EAiR program is an independent artist’s residency, so no instruction is available and some glassmaking experience is required.
Residents have access to many Pilchuck studios, including the glass-plate printmaking (vitreography) studio; plaster studio; fusing, slumping, and casting kilns; flameworking torch; and coldworking equipment. No hot glassworking is available.
Included in the residency award is a stipend of US$1,000 per artist, open studio space, shared cooking facilities, and a private room in a cottage with shared bath. Materials, instruction, food, and travel reimbursement are not provided.
The closing date for entries is 12th March 2012 and the residency will run from 24th Setember to 16th November 2012. For more information, please contact Ruth King, Artistic Director, at rking@pilchuck.com or 360-445-3111 ext. 31.
