New-Small & Sterling Studio Glass Celebrate 20 Years Together: 1983-2003

Then & Now: Alumni Exhibition
August 20th - September 20th, 2003

In the summer of 2003 we celebrated 20 years on Granville Island with a big party and exhibition of glass. We asked all of the artists who had been involved with the studio over the years to submit two pieces; one from when they worked in the studio, and one current piece. Over 20 artists participated, and the show was a real success.

It was a thrill to have such an interesting exhibit, and to bring the whole community together again. Gary Bolt wrote and article for the Glass Arts Association of Canada newsletter Glasswire, and snapped some pictures as well.

Hmm, our 25th anniversary isn't long off now... good excuse for a party!

Novella: New Work in Glass by Holly Cruise
June 7th - July 7th, 2003

Based on pulp fiction novel covers, Holly created three installations for this debut solo exhibition.

High-heel boots and sexy female torsos for the "Shameless Hussy" installation, sparkling sombreros, cowboy boots and hats for "El Bandito", and hot sculpted Robots and UFO's for "Menacing Robots from Outer Space" combined to make a really fun exhibition.

Featuring the collaborative "Space Reliquary" series by Holly Cruise and David New-Small. Click HERE to see images from the exhibit.
