Swansea's international reputation for producing talented glass artists dates back more than 75 years.
The Swansea School of Glass was set up in 1935 as an evening class at the then Swansea Art College by Howard Martin, later developing into the Architectural Stained Glass Department.
These days it is still the only architecturally based glass school in the world and is widely held to be a centre of excellence in the subject.
And to showcase just a snapshot of the talent that comes out of the school each year, intricate works by the most recent class of graduates in the school's MA Glass programme are to go on display in the city.

The exhibition is entitled Re-Imagining Tradition, and is the result of extensive research students have carried out into the technique, informed by their own varying backgrounds.
The work includes stunning pieces by Rachel Adams, Deirdre Finnerty, Lydia Marouf and Ruth Morriss.

Deirdre Finnerty said: "The work on show is the culmination of two years of practice-based research at the Swansea School of Glass, mentored by professional architects, glass artists and fine artists based in Swansea.
"Each student has developed an individualised practice informed by bodily experience in the landscape, re-interpreting traditional stained glass techniques, re-designing a product through glass or envisioning for architecture, all utilising the materiality of glass."

Professor Vanessa Culter added: "The exhibition is the culmination of a two-year journey of discovery taken by four very different artists. Each one has made an investment in self-knowledge and personal growth to further their artistry and craft.
"Visitors to the exhibition can experience some of the journey for themselves through the voice of each artist in glass."
