Peter Goodhew: Now you see it, now you don't: Glass, a beautiful and useful material
Glass is one of the oldest materials used by man, and it is also one of the most attractive modern materials used by artists. In this talk, Peter Goodhew, a materials scientist and Chair of Chester u3a, described some of the history of, and a little bit of the science behind, this fascinating substance. Glass has been used for its transparency, for its strength, for its resistance to chemical attack, for its ability to be shaped in many
different ways and more. Peter's talk was illustrated with examples of art glass from his wife's collection. 55 members attended
