The One Sky Project was the first ever creative industries trade missions to India set up by Ingrid Pears. It was a unique exchange of cultures. A group of very different and diverse British artists based around Sherwood Forest in Nottinghamshire took their skills and their work to display in India. The aim of the project was to begin a globalisation of creative industries, in a two-way exchange. New markets continue to open now for British artists in India and for Indian artists in the UK. The artists were also inspired by the contrasts in culture, landscape and artistic traditions, providing a rich source of inspirational material as well as opening many trading doors.
Ingrid Pears glass artist is commissioned to make unique piece for his holiness the Dalai Lama and finds herself working in the Himalayas.
