Abstract
Helen Monro Turner (1901 – 1977) was a hugely influential Scottish glass engraver, designer, educator, and illustrator, as well as a highly respected role model for women pursuing careers as glass artists, designers, and makers. Her prominence in 20th century British glass made important inroads in a field which, until the not-too-distant past, was dominated by men and misogynistic attitudes. Sarah Rothwell, Senior Curator of Modern & Contemporary Design, introduces this remarkable Scottish pioneer whose work is held within our collections.
