Glass in Glass Houses

I thought you may like to see these glass sculptures which were on exhibition at Kew last year.

I just thought it was such a brilliant idea to exhibit glass sculputures in green houses and a good move by Kew to get a new set of people into the gardens too (maybe allotment societies could act as exhibition venues?). There were some night time sessions in the autumn where the stuff was underlit, but its a long way from Hastings to Kew, so I wasn't going to get there to see that.

Lovely photos John! My OH paid for me to visit London and Kew for my birthday last year, and I was absolutely blown away by the glass. I've got the book too which is a wonderful momento, as well as my own photos of course. Shame the stuff is all being taken down now though - that year shot by so quickly.

Wow!  lovely photos.  I will have to visit Kew sometime as it is 45 years since my last trip there!
