Sue MacGillivray, Glass maker

Abstract

Sue MacGillivray is a young glass artist from Great Britain who recently spent two years (1997-1998) in South Africa, helping to set up a glass facility for the Department of Fine and Applied Arts at the Technikon Pretoria. Simultaneously, she produced a body of work that earned her a Master's Degree in Glass from the University of Wolverhampton. The work she produced in South Africa was notably different from that she had made prior to her stay in South Africa, and the developments illustrate certain aspects of glass making and raise issues about design processes in general.
