The workshop will run from Monday the 15th until Friday the 19th of September. Class is from 10:00-16:00. Bio: Anne Petters is a visual artist with a strong background in glass. She received a diploma in fine arts from the Institute for Ceramics and Glass Art, Hoehr-Grenzhausen, Germany, and an MFA in Sculpture/ Dimensional Studies from Alfred University, New York, USA. Born in Dresden in 1978, she grew up in the German Democratic Republic. The political change in her country, which she experienced as a displacement of reality, has had an essential influence on her lifestyle and artistic work. Her interest in controlling and displaying moments of our fleeting, vulnerable existence leads her to a poetic, metaphoric use of glass and other materials, including natural phenomena. Petters works and exhibits internationally. Her work can be found in the collections of the National Museum of Scotland and European Museum for Contemporary Glass Rödental, Germany. She has been awarded numerous artist residencies, including a fellowship at Wheaton Arts in New Jersey, a one-year residential stay at the Edinburgh College of Art, the Emerging Artists in Residence at Pilchuck Glass School, and a Visiting Scholar Residency at the Southern Illinois University, Illinois. She has taught as a visiting lecturer at the Royal College of Art and is currently teaching at the City and Guilds of London Art School and University for the Creative Arts, UK.
