Stefka Bargazova & Sarah Rothwell:  Insights into the Dan Klein Collection

The Glass Society of Ireland is made up of people whose interests or professions significantly relate to the specific material of glass.  Drawing from diverse creative and enterprising fields including art, design, craft, research, collecting and the historical context, we are a volunteer-run organisation whose interest in glass provides us with a mutual cause for conversation.It is the primary objective of the Glass Society of Ireland to continue to support established practitioners in Glass whilst fostering new talent. We also aim to create opportunities to communicate with each other and to engage with new audiences. This is achieved through a number of platforms: exhibition-making, holding events such as conferences, workshops and public talks, networking through social media and information distribution through our website, blog and monthly e-bulletin. Through these activities, professional connections are established both nationally and internationally.

Insights into the Dan Klein Conservation Project The British Museums Object Conservator Stefka Bargazova and National Museums Scotland Senior Curator of Modern &amp; Contemporary Design Sarah Rothwell join us to discuss the Dan Klein Conservation Project, a wonderful collaborative project that they initiated in 2017 that brought conservators, curators, and practitioners together to share their knowledge to help preserve works of craft and art for the next generation. As with the life of any collection, things may get lost or damaged along the way and may need a bit of TLC. This was the case for a number of seminal works that were part of the Dan Klein &amp; Alan J Poole Private Collection of Modern Glass, gifted to the organisation in 2009 and internationally recognised as a significant survey of some of the leading names in British and Irish Studio and Art Glass. So, this is an opportunity to learn more about the collection and the works that were restored, and how cross-disciplinary dialogues can aid contemporary conservation practices. Stefka Bargazova, former artefacts conservator at National Museums Scotland, is currently working for the British Museum on the Ancient Girsu/Getty Project in Iraq. Sarah Rothwell is Senior Curator of Modern &amp; Contemporary Design where she holds responsibility for the British, European, and other ‘Western’ collections of glass, ceramics, metalwork, jewellery, and industrial design circa 1945 to the present, which include a nationally significant collection of Contemporary Craft.
