Simon Moore’s first encounters with glass were at the hands of a third
generation Whitefriars glass maker. Decades of knowledge, skills handed
down from father to son, were an inspiration to the young Moore and he
seized the opportunity to learn the disciplines of an age old craft.
The importance of preserving these gems of knowledge in a climate of
globalisation and mass manufacture is of central importance to Moore’s
practice. Moore has a distinguished and varied career as a maker,
designer, creative director and Royal College of Art lecturer, and is
uniquely placed within both the ceramics and glass world. He was one of
the only outsiders ever to take on the creative direction of a
prestigious Venetian glass company. When he held the reins of Salviati,
he oversaw some of the most important collaborations of the company’s
history.
Moore’s pieces demonstrate not only his unparalleled
mastery of the glass medium, but his keen eye for colour and drama. His
platters, bowls and vases beg to be touched and used, yet work equally
well as elegant still lives. |
