Join us for Effie Burns’ talk as she focuses on the importance of learning new skills and how this has allowed her work to continually evolve. Her talk will look into her natural affinity with small, portable objects. As an avid collector of natural ephemera, she is unable to come home from a walk empty-handed. Effie is the daughter of a curator and spent part of her childhood living in a National Trust property; perhaps the notions of collections and precious objects have seeped from one generation to the next.
Her experience of the landscape is tied to the objects collected in it. She has discovered a need to record things, and her work has formed an alternative diary of the seasons. Making the transient permanent has also been a response to the changes affecting studio glass in both Sunderland and North Lands Creative.
Becoming a QEST scholar, receiving a DYCP grant from Arts Council England and more recently a residency to explore ‘wearable glass’ with North Lands Creative, Ruthin Craft Centre, and the National Glass Centre have all played significant roles in developing her work.
