In South Africa is glass as a medium for art almost unknown.
During the first half of 2007 Frank van den Ham did facilitate a project in Alexandra Township, Johannesburg, in which ten artists from Alex - an affectionate name for the township - made a great number of windows for the Alexandra Interpretation Centre in that township.
In the project the reactions of the artists, confronted with the possibilities of glass, without exception very positive. In fact they liked it so much that they would like to work on with glass, specifically the fusing technique.
Frank created for these artists and others from, in South African words ‘previously disadvantaged groups’, a studio in which they have access to the facilities needed to make art in glass and to developed their skills.
The studio in Magaliesburg, not too far from Johannesburg, now has artists at work every day.
They are working on unique pieces, series and commissions from clients in South Africa as well as abroad.
