Question on Photo Call for Discarded Glass in the Environment

Please note that I am looking for "nitty gritty" photos of discarded/waste glass in the environment. I am not necessarily looking for "pretty pics" or for the discarded glass to be altered or "artistically rearranged" in the photos. I need the photo to show the glass in its found/discarded position. For example, a broken glass bottle in an alley; bottles scattered throughout a landfill, etc.

The details can be found in a post at the end of this blog.

Sculpture vs Craft and an Update

I have had a few questions on the issue of Sculpture vs Craft? Although the focus of this book is on recycled glass sculpture, there will be a smaller section in the book on recycled glass craft. Work that has more of a utilitarian purpose probably falls under the definition of "craft". However, if in doubt, please go ahead and submit your work!!! There are no entry fees.

Submissions are starting to come in from all over the United States and the world. The deadline is April 30, 2010. This is a great potential opportunity to be a part of the very first book dedicated to recycled glass sculpture.

Response to Several Questions on the Recycled Glass Sculpture Artist Call

I think these questions may have come from newer artists but I will share my answers.

Please feel free to email me with questions at Cacglass@aol.com.


1) All artists may of course add frits, powders, paints, metal foils, etc. (or none) to their recycled glass. The design is up to you!

2) I cannot advise you on what to create or how to create it.

3) Soliciting to have a role in "pre-reviewing" or "editing" the book before it is out, is not part of the entry process. When the book enters the market next year, artists in the book will be notified and have an opportunity to purchase as many copies as they wish.
