A HILPERTON glass blowing company have been fine tuning their craft by creating a set of unique roundels that will feature in a music-themed sculpture for a Bristol concert hall.

Devereux & Huskie Glassworks, based at Marsh Farm, have been recruited by acclaimed artist Luke Jerram to produce 100 hand-crafted glass discs which will form part of a 9ftx3ft sculpture for St George’s Hall.

The piece is based on a musical sound wave taken from a piece of music by composer Philip Glass, called Apollo.

It is hoped that each of the 100 roundels will be sponsored and help raise £600,000 towards the £6million project to renovate one the concert hall.

Specialists in glass works James Devereux, Katherine Huskie and Emma Baker, from Deveraux and Huskie, showed off their skills to staff from St George’s this week, and they were blown away by their flair in moulding the glass.

Simon Farley, head of fundraising and development, said: “The work with Deveraux and Huskie is brilliant and helps the overall project which is an important part of how we bring in individuals and companies to help get involved with the renovation.

“Luke has worked with these guys before and said how great they are so it was great to be able to come to the workshop for the first time and see how they work.”

The Devereux & Huskie Glassworks studio at Marsh Farm first opened its doors in September 2013 and has grown ever since, taking on jobs with internationally-renowned artists.

Mr Jerram added: “Creating an artwork to help an arts organisation raise funding for the capital appeal has been a first for me.

“It’s been an amazing opportunity to design a new large-scale and ambitious artwork.

“With fabrication happening now I can’t wait to see how Deveraux and Huskie are using their skills to make the artwork come into being.”
