Somewhere between the aesthetic of Art Deco motifs and a Cylon prop from Battlestar Galactica, glass artist Heather Gillespie's pieces made a splash at Tent London this year
The designer maker in love with the art of copper wheel engraving during the year that she spent at the Glass College in Kamenicky Senov in the Czech Republic
it changes shape and structure and once it starts to cool
it becomes fixed as if it were trapped in time
The piece is then transferred to a kiln called a "lehr"
Gillespie assesses the best way to cut and polish it
Normally progressing from a fine to coarse belt on a machine called a "linisher"
she begins to cut the glass quickly and vigorously
Then marking out her design onto the glass
Gillespie readies it for intaglio engraving
Now if she can just embed some FTL jump discs inside them
we might solve the world's gasoline crisis

General Manager of Plzeňský Prazdroj Doug Brodman presented newly–elected Pope Francis with a unique gift – beer from the blessed batch of Pilsner Urquell
The egg–shaped grind and softly gilded glass chalice decorated with Easter motifs was made by a successful Czech designer together with glass makers from Desna and Kamenicky Šenov
2,013 0.3l bottles of the Easter batch that was blessed by Pilsen bishop František Radkovský on February 11th in the Pilsen Urquell brewing house also made it to Vatican
The original Pilsen lager will contribute to official celebrations of Easter in Rome
The tradition of sending blessed Pilsen beer to celebrate Easter came to life during the Beatification of Pope John Paul II in 2011
Pilsen citizens together with Plzeňský Prazdroj are sending greetings to Vatican
and Pilsner Urquell is thus a part of Easter celebrations in Rome that host people from all around the world

Highly renowned for her artistry in glass-making
started her journey when she was awarded a scholarship in her second year of study at the prestigious Studio of the Corning Museum of Glass in New York
She was later accepted into the Kamenicky Senov
the oldest glass-making school in the world located in the Czech Republic
Her body of work showcases a deeply personal reverence for family
the sculptures she produces deliver two contrasting ideas that surprisingly work in harmony
the use of strong imagery is balanced out by the delicate and graceful sheen of the glass medium
The ideas that are intertwined within Organo’s pieces deliver images
giving the art its own voice and representation within the world of symbols and myths.
most of her sculptures exude a sense of familiarity
Nino as well as images with distinct shapes that form either a representation of the human being or a mythical creature
her other sculptures display the artist’s rendition of what emotions are supposed to look like in its purest form.
“Marge Organo: Par Excellence” will run from May 17 to 26
with the Artists’ Reception on May 17 at 5 p.m
