The November 2016 course is almost finished, but I will be running this creative metalwork course again in the Spring. It will take place over 3 Saturdays on 18th, 25th March and 1st April 2017.
You will be working in steel in order to develop both a hands-on knowledge relating to the processes for sculptural fabrication, as well as a sculptural language in constructed metal for its own sake. This could result in linear and rhythmic forms in space, or volumetric and contained forms.
The course takes a maximum of 6 participants to ensure a high quality of teaching and student/teacher ratio. All materials and safety equipment provided. The course takes place in the superbly-equipped metalwork shop at Glasgow Sculpture Studios.
What participants say about the course:
“The course was brilliant. Joe makes complex and technical things seem simple. He manages the time well to ensure the best possible result for all students”.
“Hot, busy, fun”.
“Enjoyed that it was a relaxed atmosphere, freedom to explore equipment with assistance there when needed”.
“Inspiring, exhilarating, eye-opening”.

Joe has recently been commissioned to create a ‘Treasure Trail’ for the Town Centre Regeneration at Denny near Falkirk, Scotland. Once a place of immense, varied and spirited industrial activity and skill around the River Carron, Denny has suffered post-war decline like many places, but now, as part of its regeneration by Falkirk Council is having a 7.8m development including a new town square, new shops and a community library. The Treasure Trail, one of five public art commissions, will involve a number of works placed across the new development in the centre and beyond, to sites around Denny. Informed by the history and natural environment, as well as the imaginations of the people of Denny and over the bridge, neighbouring Dunipace, the sculptures are due for completion along with the new town centre development in the summer of 2017.

Continuing this popular programme of public courses, I will once again be running this 3-day creative metalwork course, taking place over 3 Saturdays in September 2016: 3rd, 10th and 24th. You will be working in steel in order to develop both a hands-on knowledge relating to the processes for sculptural fabrication, as well as a sculptural language in constructed metal for its own sake. This could result in linear and rhythmic forms in space, or volumetric and contained forms.
The course takes a maximum of 6 participants to ensure a high quality of teaching and student/teacher ratio. All materials and safety equipment provided. The course takes place in the superbly-equipped metalwork shop at Glasgow Sculpture Studios.

I have two new works that have been selected for ‘Converge 2016′, Visual Arts Scotland’s exhibition in Edinburgh.
‘Greta’s Star’ is a small copper sculpture; ‘Sleeper (Bird’s Egg)’ is larger, steel piece. These are part of an ongoing series of work, the themes of which were developed during a period of research as part of my Gottlieb Foundation Award. These abstract works take inspiration from natural and artificial forms to create new trains of thought based in memory, landscape and movement. A sense of metamorphosis is a key underlying factor.
Visual Arts Scotland is now a leading platform for national and international contemporary fine and applied artists. It offers both emerging and established practitioners the opportunity to showcase their work and reach a wide audience in the heart of Edinburgh in this annual exhibition. Originally an organisation for women artists, VAS has, since the 1980’s, highlighted and promoted fine art practice alongside the applied arts and design.

An ambitious and inspiring variety of work was created in the October Creative Metalwork Course, from Rob Welsh’s stove to Dougie Muego’s meticulous figurines and Magda Brionglos’ mask sculpture. Launching into a variety of technical and sculptural techniques, the participants, mostly new to working in metal, produced work that set a grounding for further exploration into the medium.
If you like the sound of this, why not participate in my first Creative Metalwork Course of 2016? It takes place over 3 consecutive Saturdays on 13th, 20th and 27th February 2016, from 10.30am – 4pm each day, and with a maximum of 6 places, you will receive high-quality teaching in a well-equipped workshop.

“Hot, busy, fun”.

In April this year, Joe collaborated with Row4Shore Glasgow North to create a sculpture symbolic of the St Ayles skiff, designed in kit form by Iain Oughtred and based on a type of rowing boat used for traditional coastal racing. Row4Shore are a local community group who plan to set up a charity to build one of these boats for use by young people. To build teamwork in the group, it was decided to create a metal sculpture that symbolised the project, taking inspiration from abstracted elements from the boat. Working in steel, the group learnt and honed their creative and metalworking skills alongside Joe at Glasgow Sculpture Studios metal workshop. The work took place over five two-hour weekly sessions between February and April 2015.

Joe has won a major award from the Gottlieb Foundation in New York in the form of an Individual Support Grant worth $25,000. These are given annually to 12 artists worldwide in recognition of the quality of their work and dedication to it over a period of at least 20 years. This will enable Joe to develop and further his sculptural practice over the next twelve months. The Adolph and Esther Gottlieb Foundation was set up in 1976 to provide direct financial assistance to individual artists.

‘Waterland’ was completed and installed at the Bulwell Riverside Joint Services Centre, Nottingham and opened on 17th May 2012.
The work comprises a series of five sculptures inspired by the microscopic desmids and diatoms that inhabit freshwater rivers, and in particular the adjacent River Leen.
Local schools were involved in the creation of drawings and objects for the time capsule, which forms part of the smallest element. The sculpture was funded by Arts Council England, Laing O’Rourke and GN Lift Co.
