I am a glass artist working with kiln formed glass. I use the heat in a kiln to fuse, carve and slump the glass, manipulating its colour, texture, and shape. Some pieces are then cold worked through polishing, grinding, and sandblasting. I have taken classes at Blue Dog Glass Studio in Melbourne with artist Brenda Page and masterclasses with international glass artists Carrie Iverson, Richard Parrish, and Amanda Simmons. I am currently studying a Bachelor of Contemporary Art at the University of South Australia. My work uses the unique properties of glass to celebrate the colour and beauty of the Fleurieu Peninsula. |
