Interview with Tony Wade

19th July 2023

This interview discusses Wade’s recent exhibition and project, Andromeda.

For this exhibition, Wade will bring to life the story of Andromeda, a popular glass figurine developed by the bottle factory, Bagley Glass, in Knottingley in the 1900s. As the town gained popular status for glassmaking throughout the Victorian era, workers began smuggling the figurine out of the factory due to such high demand, and reportedly threw the glass into a canal bed nearby to avoid being caught by their employer.

Catch the exhibition in our Tiled Gallery, on until 9 September 2023.
