You’re invited to bring a magnifying class to get right up close to art when local Maker of Tiny Glass Stuff, Amanda Glanville brings a selection of artworks from Coventry: Lost, Found, Imagined and her Tiny Glass Sweetshop into the Library for the closing weekend of Warwickshire Open Studios 2024 Thursday 4 – Saturday 6 July.
Coventry: Lost, Found, Imagined was originally staged in 2021 as an art trail around Holy Trinity Church in Broadgate for City of Culture and Open Studios that year.
It’s a series of black and white photographs of Coventry to which illustrations and miniature glass have been added and is a collaboration between Analogue Photographer John Whitmore, Illustrator Emma O’Brien and Glass Maker Amanda.
The pictures are of some familiar and more tucked away places in Coventry with painted and glass ideas of what was originally there, what happened over time, and strange, humorous notions of what could be going on when our backs are turned.
The Tiny Glass Sweetshop is a table top display (originally a window display created by Amanda for the Saltaire Arts Festival in Yorkshire in 2023). It’s just too delicious not to have a second outing in public!
Amanda will be in the library each day from Thursday 4 July – Saturday 6 July to chat to you (and lend you a magnifying glass). The displays are family friendly and have been described as ‘…like lots of love letters to Coventry’ and ‘art with a big smile on its face’.
Warwickshire Open Studios booklets will be available in the Library from early May, so you can plan your visit to the other displays in the Coventry and wider area.
"Perhaps no place in any community is so totally democratic as the town library. The only entrance requirement is interest."
