Event Details
Copping’s practice has developed in two distinct directions. The first is grounded in the development and exhibition of sculpture and installation work. This work usually includes the use of glass and has transitioned from commercial galleries to public galleries as the work has increased in scale and complexity. The second direction is the blown and carved glass vessels, and very functional production glassware series. Both aspects of Copping’s practice started their evolution around his attempts to understand our place in a world where change is the only constant. While the functional blown and carved glass vessels have become an exploration of form, surface and light, it is through the sculptural work that he has continued to examine that initial idea.
As the Shoreline Disappears will be on display at the Agnes Jamieson Gallery from July 23 to September 19, 2026. The Gallery is open Tuesday to Saturday from 10:00 AM to 4:00 PM. All are welcome. Admission is by donation.
Artist Biography
Copping was an Artist-in-Residence at the Canadian Canoe Museum. Through the work produced during this residency, he began to explore the history of Indigenous–settler relationships and to examine his own position within this legacy. A more recent project, Resource Room, a collaboration with Anishinaabe artist Alice Olsen Williams, was an immersive installation of blown glass, textile, sound and projection in the former King George Public School in Peterborough.

Pre-performance chat @ 6:30pm.
One of the zaniest and most loved of all Donizetti’s operas, this three-act comic opera follows the fortunes of young Ernesto, recently disinherited by his wealthy, cranky uncle, Don Pasquale, for refusing an arranged marriage in favour of the penniless widow Norina. A hilarious sit-com for all ages. Find out if love wins in the end!
