London, England's ZeST Contemporary Glass Gallery is hosting BLAST! 2012, the 10th
anniversary exhibition of Cohesion Glass Network. Cohesion Glass Network is an initiative supported by the UK's Sunderland City Council as a way to create a business network for glassmakers and artists.

To celebrate this landmark,
ZeST Gallery has invited eight of Cohesion’s founding members to exhibit their latest
artworks and provided the opportunity to select an artist to be a
“partner” and show work alongside them.
Roger Tye |
These
eight artists are Criss Chaney, Dominic Fonde, Zoe Garner, Ruth Lyne, Joanne
Mitchell, Claudia Phipps, Roger Tye and Cate Watkinson. They have selected
partners whose work they admire, or find complementary to their own, or in some
cases they have joined forces to create unique collaborative work, exploring
and developing themes and concepts held in common. Some, but not all, of the
partner artists are Cohesion members, and all but one of the partners are artists
working in glass.
Michael Janis |
Cohesion artist Joanne Mitchell chose Washington Glass Studio artist Tim Tate. Cohesion’s Roger Tye is paired with WGS’ Michael Janis. Michael and Tim were both at Cohesion's studios while in the UK on their Fulbright assignment.
