LOUIS THOMPSON
Louis Thompson has been working with glass for over 30 years. His portfolio is diverse, from creating large scale installations to creating smaller intimate groups of objects that invite closer inspection.
He completed his Masters degree at the Royal College of Art in 2011 and has been invited to work and teach with glass artists both in the UK and abroad. Louis was the recipient of two prestigious awards in 2012, the Jerwood Makers Prize Commission and the Best Exhibit Prize at the British Glass Biennale.
Hot glass is his visual language and he looks to place innovative ideas with the material in different public arenas. It is this methodology of allowing his ideas to flow freely and expansively, which enables him to realise works of such aesthetic, technical and material diversity.
