New BBC 1 television series - Make It At Market - Featuring Emerald Galleries Alison Vincent - Glass Artist

Welcome to the first article of 2023 from Emerald Frames and Gallery, and what a way to start the year!

Following our last gallery exhibition of 2022 - Contemporary Elements, we have exciting news from one of our artists -

Glass artist Alison Vincent will feature in a brand-new BBC TV programme called “Make it at Market” which is hosted by Dom Chinea of “The Repair Shop”. 

We were lucky to have two beautiful makers in the gallery space at Emerald in December, Audrey Hammett showcasing her porcelain vessels and Alison Vincent displaying her hand-blown glass sculptures.

With inspiration from nature and the elements, the ceramics and glass contrasted beautifully for the exhibition.

The programme helps aspiring artists and hobbyists from a range of different crafts to see if they can - and want to - make a living out of their hobbies with guidance from mentors in their respective crafts.
