2009 NZSAG: "I am writing this after spending time receiving glass art for the Royal Easter Show, setting up the display, thankfully with help from a couple of tireless fellow artists and then today watching the judging. This year there are 47 entries compared with the 28 for 2008. This makes a big difference to the size of the display and the amount of work to get everything arranged to show off pieces to their best. This year there are quite a few wall hung pieces – some mosaics but also some other pieces. These provide a colourful display against which the other plinths and art are displayed. I previous years most pieces have been cast and this is again the case but there are a few blown pieces and a number of laminated piece as well as fused and slumped pieces. The judges were pleased to see new artists’ work and were unanimous in their choice of the winning pieces.
It was interesting to see some of the artists were presenting very different pieces than their traditional “bread and butter” lines of work. In some cases even people who are familiar with the art glass scene were stumped when asked to identify the artist responsible for certain pieces.
Congratulations to Te Rongo Kirkwood for winning the Art Glass section with her stunning fused and slumped piece “Puawai,” This piece was auctioned but passed in then sold immediately after the auction."
