We're delighted to welcome renowned glass designer Helen MacDonald to Perth Art Gallery for an exclusive evening. In this special talk, Helen, whose work with Caithness Glass has shaped the landscape of contemporary glass art, will share her creative journey, the inspiration behind her distinctive designs, and the artistry involved in glassmaking. With over 50 years of experience, Helen has been at the forefront of innovation in decorative glass. From her celebrated limited-edition paperweights to bold and expressive art glass, her work continues to push the boundaries of design.

This is a rare opportunity to hear directly from a master of the craft, gain behind-the-scenes insights into the world of Caithness Glass, and discover the lasting impact of Perthshire’s glassmaking heritage.
