Residency under AA2A in National Glass Centre, Sunderland

During academic year 2013–14 Yorgos has been offered a residency at the National Glass Centre in Sunderland under the AA2A scheme. During his time in Sunderland Yorgos has been experimenting with bending and breaking of glass and with laser cutting. But the NGC also offered Yorgos an opportunity to go back to his first artistic passion: clay.

The residency covered three areas of experimentation: bending glass into new forms, waterjet cutting for precision shapes, and glazing ceramic works that reconnected him with his roots in ceramics from his time at the Royal College of Art.
