Art of Glass: In the studio with Scottish based artist Harry Morgan
#ArtofGlassExhibition at the National Museum of Scotland examines the diverse work of 15 established and emerging glass artists in Britain today.
Open until 16 September 2018, Art of Glass – is presented in partnership with The National Centre for Craft & Design - features ground-breaking works utilising everything from neon to stained glass.
The glass artists are working with glass in a variety of ways, whether manipulating it in a hot glass studio, casting it in a kiln or using new technologies such as waterjet cutting and 3D printing.
The artists featured in Art of Glass are based around the UK, working from both isolated rural studios and busy urban locations.
Among them are four Scotland-based artists, whose works are pushing the medium of glass to its physical and artistic limits.
Harry Morgan
Morgan’s work is known for its unusual use of materials and experimental approach to traditional processes.
Referencing both ancient Venetian glassblowing and Brutalist architecture, he has created two pieces for #ArtofGlassExhibition - Dichotomy I and II – that contradicts our assumed perception on the fragility of glass.

My name is Zahi Shaked
In 2000 I became a registered liscenced tourist guide.
My dedication in life is to pass on the ancient history of the Holy Land.
Following upon many years of travel around the world, which was highlighted by a very exciting emotional and soul-searching meeting with the Dalai Lama, I realized that I had a mission. To pass on the the history of the Holy Land, its religions, and in particular, the birth and development of Christianity.
In order to fulfill this calling in the best way possible, I studied in depth, visited, and personally experienced each and every important site of the ancient Christians. I studied for and received my first bachelors degree in the ancient history of the Holy Land, and am presently completing my studies for my second degree.(Masters)
Parralel to my studies, and in order to earn a living, I was employed for many years in advertising. What I learned there was how to attract the publics attention, generate and, increase interest, and assimilate information. All this I use as tools to describe, explain and deepen the interest in the sites that we visit. From my experience, I have learned that in this way, the Holy Land becomes more than just history, and that the large stones that we see scattered about in dissaray, join together one by one until they become - a Byzantine Church. This also happens when I lead a group of Pilgrims in the Steps of Jesus. We climb to the peak of Mount Precipice, glide over the land to the Sea of Galilee, land on the water and see the miracle which enfolds before us. This is a many faceted experience. Not only history which you will remember and cherish, but an experience which I hope will be inplanted in your hearts and minds, and will accompany you all the days of your life.
