JAMES MEASELL
The Carder Brothers of Wordsley School of Art
DATE: Tuesday 14th April 2026 at 7pm BST
LOCATION: ZOOM online
COST: Free for members
The remarkable efforts of the Carder brothers—Frederick Carder and George J. Carder—are linked with the Wordsley School of Art as the school achieved and maintained its reputation for excellence in courses of study pertaining to glass and trained students for careers in the glass industry. As student, assistant art master and art master, the elder Carder established a foundation for instruction in art and the science of glass manufacturing that was carried forward by art master and principal George J. Carder after his brother immigrated to the United States to become associated with the Steuben Glass Works in 1903.
A Life Member of The Glass Society, James Measell is a trustee of the British Glass Foundation and an Honorary Research Fellow at the University of Birmingham. He is a frequent contributor to Glass Matters and The Blackcountryman.
