Kiln formed and cameo engraved glass. Amanda Simmons wins Gold at Origin 2010. The Crafts Council and UK Trade and Investment have awarded Amanda Simmons the Gold Award for innovation, creativity and potential to export 2010 at this year's Origin: The London Craft Fair for her unique kiln formed glass vessels. Over 200 contemporary craft makers exhibiting at this year's Origin show were eligible to apply. This award provides the successful applicant with the opportunity to explore a chosen overseas market and get bespoke export advice from a personal International Trade Advisor.


Amanda chose America as her target market because of the longstanding tradition of glass making and collecting and the fact that it is the birth place of her particular medium of kiln formed glass. Amanda will use the award money to visit New York in Spring 2011 to investigate contemporary applied arts galleries and visit SOFA, the international exhibition of sculpture objects and functional art.
