Award-winning artist and Coventry University graduate, Adam
Hussain, has added another accolade to his growing collection after
winning a national award for his work.
The public voted for Adam as one of their favourite artists of
contemporary crafts on the Craft and Design website for the
'Selected' Awards 2010.
Adam's new series of artworks entitled 'A Fine Line' won a
silver award in the glass category for his handmade kiln-formed
artworks.
Last month, Adam's work was well-received at the British Craft
Trade Fair in Harrogate and on the strength of that, he has been
selected as one of ten emerging designers in the UK and will be
exhibiting his work in the Emerging Designers Pavilion over the May
Bank Holiday at Blenheim Palace.
Adam, from Earlsdon, set up his company, Infini Glass while
studying Contemporary Crafts at Coventry University.
He designs and creates bespoke glass art from concept to
installation which gives his work a personal and handmade
character. He graduated in 2008 and installed his first corporate
installation at the Volvo Head offices in Warwick in 2009.
Adam said: "I am delighted with this latest award and
because it was a public vote, it means a great deal to me. The
relationship between glass, light and space is a key element to my
work as I push the glass to the limits to produce unusual effects.
The processes are complex and can be a challenge to control at
times but the unique results are often rewarding and I hope this is
what the public like about my work."
