About Liam Reeves
Liam Reeves has been making glass professionally since 1998 when he graduated from Middlesex University with a BA (Hons) in three-dimensional design specialising in glass. During this time he has honed his skills working in the glass industry for the best glassmakers in the UK culminating in a period as hot-glass technician at London’s famous Royal College of Art.
While at the RCA, Liam discovered a passion for investigating pivotal techniques from glassblowing’s two-millenia of rich history. From the mould blowing of ancient Rome, though the complex goblet-making techniques of Renaissance Venice, to the finesse of factory manufactured glass after the Industrial revolution. He has demonstrated these techniques widely for public events, Universities and museums including the Victoria & Albert Museum in London.
In 2009 Liam undertook an MA at the RCA in order to explore the creative possibilities of the medium of glassblowing, this took the form of an investigation into ways in which the historical techniques that he found so inspiring could be put into contemporary contexts.
