Geoffrey Mann is a Scottish artist and lecturer whose fascination with transposing the ephemeral nature of time and motion has created a studio practice that challenges the existing divides between art, craft and design.
In 2008, Geoffrey was awarded the World Craft Council Prize for Glass and in 2009 won the Jerwood Contemporary Makers Prize. He has exhibited in national and international venues including MoMA New York; International Bombay Sapphire Awards, London and Milan, Jerwood Contemporary Makers exhibition, MAD New York and the European Glass Context in Denmark.
