Jewellery: Wearable Glass aims to re-introduce audiences and artists to the amazing potential of glass as a wearable material. Glass jewellery has a history going back to the Ancient Egyptians and in the 19th and early 20th century the famous artist René Lalique used glass to make jewellery.

This exciting new ‘wearable glass’ will be presented alongside the twelve artist’s more established work; allowing the viewer to compare the difference between artist’s work in glass and jewellery and what happens when they are brought together.

Curated by Julia Stephenson, Head of Arts at National Glass Centre.

Gemwaith: Nod Gwydr Gwisgadwy yw ail-gyflwyno cynulleidfaoedd ac artistiaid i botensial rhyfeddol gwydr fel deunydd gwisgadwy. Mae gemwaith gwydr â hanes sy’n mynd yn ôl i oes yr Hen Eifftwyr ac yn y bedwaredd ganrif ar bymtheg a dechrau’r ugeinfed defnyddiai’r artist enwog René Lalique wydr i wneud gemwaith.

Fe gyflwynir y ‘gwydr gwisgadwy’ newydd cyffrous hwn ochr-yn-ochr â gwaith mwy sefydledig y deuddeg artist gan ganiatau i’r gwyliwr gymharu gwaith yr artistiaid mewn gwydr a gemwaith a’r hyn fydd yn digwydd pan ddeuir â nhw at ei gilydd.
