Through his work at Stourbridge College and the University of Wolverhampton Keith has proved guidance, support and career advice to some of the most important international glass artists. The exhibition looks back through forty years of work; examining the range of work produced by Cummings in glass and metal as well as in drawings and paintings. His work is contextualized amongst his colleagues in the glass world, which include a range of former students who are now academics, artists, designers and respected glass makers. Over the last forty years, Keith has influenced the present and future generations of glass artists and designers all over the world. The exhibition and catalogue specifically examines the effects of the University of Wolverhampton glass programme upon newly established university programmes in studio glass in Shanghai and Beijing.

Based on previous work, this commission enabled Shaw to develop a new strategy for complex pattern making based on building up intricate layers of colour through screen-printing. While pursuing the juxtaposition of colour and form, which is the signature of her work, Shaw used the new patterning process to develop a new aesthetic for her work, metaphorically referencing domestic table settings.

Shaw entered, and was selected for the category of ‘ceramics for use’ as one of twelve artists representing the UK. Three bowls made in black basalt clay were exhibited. Although ‘the bowl’ has been the essential form in her work for twenty years, this was the first time she had considered it within the category of ‘ceramics for use’. The question therefore was how to translate her established canon of form and colour to suit this category. Interpreting utility in a broad sense, Shaw chose black basalt clay as the base material and the form of three nested bowls as the basic form for this inquiry. In search of a formal-aesthetic translation, Shaw developed linear and block colour patterns, which interact across the three forms to create a relational composition that works as a group as well as individual bowls.

Shaw used her own specific finishing techniques of grinding and polishing to develop a collection of Jasperware that challenged both conceptual and aesthetic perceptions of traditional Jasperware by exploring the formal limits of the clay body, in relation to pattern and colour as well as perceptions of actual and metaphoric aspects of use.
