Stained Glass Centre

London

The Stained Glass Centre was established in 2008 by the recently-formed Stained Glass Trust, with the aim of providing an educational centre to encourage the study and appreciation of stained glass, as well as breathing life back into St Martin-cum-Gregory. This beautifully evocative Grade I listed building, which dates back to before the 11th century, is home to a rich range of historic glass, including some of the earliest logos to be seen in stained glass and memorials to celebrated glass-painters. Set in the city of York, home to much of Britain’s surviving ancient glass and a focus for craft and creativity in the modern day practice of stained glass making, The Stained Glass Centre provides a unique point of interpretation for the city, with demonstrations, workshops, guided tours and lectures. The Stained Glass Centre is developing as a national resource for the discovery and interpretation of stained glass. The building has long been a destination for those interested in this fragile medium. As the Stained Glass Centre, it is transforming into a venue in which residents, students and visitors can explore, participate in and learn more about one of the most beguiling of crafts, one that continues to be central to the heritage, culture and economy of the city of York. Now that the future of the building has been secured for public use, a programme of events is bringing people and new life back into the building. Founding Aims The Stained Glass Centre was established with five long-term aims for its future role The Stained Glass Centre will be a national resource for the discovery and interpretation of stained glass. Visitors will be able to participate in, and learn about, craft-skills, arts and industries that continue to play a vital role in the life of the city and region. Practitioners from all over the UK will have a national centre of excellence for the study and development of their craft. People of all ages will have the opportunity to learn about the historic importance of this beautiful art form as well as helping it to develop and flourish for the 21st century. The creation of the Stained Glass Centre in the former church of St Martin-cum-Gregory will give new life to one of York’s most beautiful ‘lost’ buildings. Regeneration The establishment of the Stained Glass Centre within the former church of St Martin-cum-Gregory aims to give stunning new life to a magnificent building, with the exciting opportunity for regular public access to one of York’s most beautiful ‘lost’ buildings, and to see, and have interpreted, its lovely fittings and glass. Through the Centre, residents of central York can reclaim aspects of their own local history, participate in, and learn about, craft-skills, arts and industries which continue to play a vital role in the life of the city and region. The Stained Glass Centre also plays a key role in the re-awakening of Micklegate, which once was, and could be again, York’s most important and elegant street. The Centre works closely with the Micklegate Quarter, hosting and participating in events for the local community.

Friends of La Cambre was created in 1979. A non-profit association, it organizes events and study trips, and helps support young graduates by creating an annual prize. Link to the document Voyage Henry van de Velde and the Bauhaus.pdf President's word “In any form of social life, the status of the artist provides a good criterion for evaluating the general state of culture. »John Dewey The idea of an association of Friends of La Cambre goes back to the foundation of the school which was then called the Higher Institute of Decorative Arts. We are in February 1928. The present association is more recent since it was born in 1979 with a similar object, to support the creation (the investigation) and the pedagogy of the school by its contribution in material and immaterial means. We have this ambition, to support students in carrying out exceptional projects, to support them, more modestly but no less necessarily, in carrying out experiments linked to the school's pedagogies. Other supports can be envisaged, of a social nature for example. What are the Friends of La Cambre made of? They are women and men who have the desire to be linked to the beginning of something that takes shape in the act of creation, who have the desire to offer their own means to its realization by being present because they believe in vita nova (there is creation only because there is life). They are women and men driven by intranquility, who know the fragility of the creative gesture. These are women and men who have decided to accompany the paths of expression, because are we ever sure to say, to show, what we want to say, to show? A school is first and foremost a place of meetings, experiments and therefore exchanges. The Friends of La Cambre can be a part of this place. They are able to bring this unique place that is the school into contact with other worlds, not to be their "sound echo", but to bring something different.
