  • Aimee Lax to make "Barbed", an exciting new day-glow acrylic, steel wire and aluminium installation
  • Tracey Snape ) to develop new work in the technique of furnace blown and lampworked glass using the addition of noble gases, principally neon.
  • Peter Barton will be showing the exciting new work he developed while he served his apprenticeship at Loco Glass, Cirencester made possible by the hot-glass bursary he was awarded at Fresh Air 2007.

  • ECCO! This will again be a feature at Fresh Air 2011!” (Encouraging Children to Collect (art) Objects). We are asking every exhibitor to donate a working sketch. These will be for sale in the entry tent and will only be sold to young people under 18 years of age. Prices will be kept to £10 - £60. We aim to catch budding collectors early on and to encourage the excitement of collecting original works of art.

  • University of Gloucestershire: Foundation and BA students from the University of Gloucestershire will be making a series of works as part of their coursework remit.

  • The William Yeoward Award
    William Yeoward, a generous supporter of Fresh Air for over a decade, is well known for his understanding of good design and craftsmanship.
    Innovative as always, he has created a new type of bursary for Fresh Air. We will be auctioning glass made by Pater Barton during his apprenticeship at LocoGlass and the money raised will sponsor another young artist in 2011.

  • Teacher's Development Day: An inspirational one day workshop for
    teachers of art with exhibiting artist Damian Llambias.
