Just Glass at Mary’s Living and Giving Shop Supporting Save the Children
For one night only, Mary’s Living & Giving Shop Supporting Save the Children will be hosting an evening with Just Glass, who will be showcasing the works of internationally acclaimed and emerging glass artists, including Mandy Treptow. The evening will be the only occasion in 2011 when this collection of beautiful jewellery, stylish vessels and unique sculptures will be exhibited and available for purchase. Living and Giving is a joint collaboration with Mary Portas, known widely from the BBC series Mary Queen of Shops.
This event is being held in conjunction with Notting Hill’s First Wednesdays, with a percentage of funds raised on the evening going towards Save the Children’s, ‘No Child Born Without a Chance’ campaign. Eight million children die every year from easily preventable causes, such as pneumonia or diarrhoea. Save the Children’s ‘No Child Born to Die campaign, calls for vaccinations to be made available for the world’s poorest children – a move which could save a quarter of these children from dying. The campaign is being backed by a range of celebrities, including Alexandra Burke, Helena Bonham Carter and Natasha Kaplinsky.
The full range of artists exhibiting will be Angela Thwaites, Charlie Murphy, Frances Federer, Ingrid Hunter, Joanna Waddy, Julia Hayward, Julie Light, Maha Jacobs, Mandy Treptow, Phillipa Candy, Stuart Turnbull, Su Herbert and Wendy Newhofer.
When?
Wednesday 6 July 2011, 6.00pm to 9.00pm (for one night only!)
