Amoako-Attah holds a BA in Industrial Art (Ceramics) from KNUST, as well as an MA and PhD in Art and Design (Glass Art) from the University of Sunderland. Amoako-Attah’s research concentrates on glass art, ceramics, textile printing, and pattern design. Residing in Sunderland, he views glass as a ‘Western material’ and is particularly interested in transforming its properties to resemble woven fabric. Anthony achieves this through advanced techniques, including screen printing with glass powders and enamels, waterjet cutting, and kiln forming. His innovative process emphasises the blend of tradition and modernity in his work, creating pieces that challenge conventional perceptions of glass art. Amoako-Attah’s work has received numerous awards, including the Artist of the Fair award at Collect Art Fair 2022, the International Artist Award at the British Glass Biennale, the Juror’s Choice Scholarship award at Pilchuck Glass School, the Warm Glass UK 1st Prize for Aspiring Glass Art, the Glass Art Society Emerging Glass Artist award in the USA, and the Student Runner-Up at the British Glass Biennale. Amoako-Attah was shortlisted for the Brookfield Awards 2022, UK. He has exhibited at Vane Gallery and Sunderland Museum \u0026amp; Winter Garden in the UK, Heller Gallery, Habatat, and the Museum of Glass in the USA, Art Africa in Ghana and among others, across the globe.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e“I see glass as a Host upon which I feed as parasite to bring about my personal and cultural identity.\" - Anthony Amoako-Attah\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFor hotel recommendations and our refund\/cancellation policies, please visit our \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/milkweedartsaz.com\/pages\/faq\/\"\u003eFAQ page\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Milkweed Arts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43208771305635,"sku":"","price":995.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0625\/3258\/3587\/files\/Claire_Louise_Photography_-_Anthony_Zac_Joanna_Exhibition_5.jpg?v=1780710386","url":"https:\/\/milkweedartsaz.com\/products\/2027-02-19-02-22-woven-in-glass-creating-textile-like-surfaces-with-glass-powders-with-anthony-amoako-attah","provider":"Milkweed Arts","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
