From the CONFERENCE CO-CHAIRS 

WELCOME TO ADELAIDE! The Australian glass community is delighted to have you 

in our midst at last. After years of preparation the conference will no doubt fly past 

in a blur of inspiration, excitement, discussion, and a few late nights along the way. 

We’re also very much looking forward to your company in the GAS@Ausglass Hub, 

located in the space just behind JamFactory and right next door to the University 

of South Australia. Adelaide’s galleries have pulled out all the stops to present a 

fascinating array of exhibitions; there is a huge range of pre- and post-conference 

workshops to attend; and, of course, we can’t wait to show you around our city. 

Make a date for the Pre-Conference Reception fundraiser at the National Wine Centre 

to support the low conference fees offered to students. The architecture of the 

National Wine Centre is outstanding and the event will give you a generous taste of 

South Australia’s justifiably famous food and wine. 

We are proud of the program content, which we believe provides some fascinating 

insights into the world of glass from the perspective of our side of the world, and 

which does indeed discuss “matters of substance” in glass. 

So once again, welcome to our country, our city, and our glass community – we know 

you’re in for a conference you’ll never forget.

From the GAS PRESIDENT 

TEN YEARS IN THE MAKING–a decade of 

dreaming, brainstorming, and cogitating 

logistics–and several years of detail-ironing 

and finessing, GAS and Ausglass, together, 

have partnered to make it possible for us all 

to be here in Adelaide. We gather, as always, 

each spurred by a variety of motivations, 

most pointedly to share our myriad passions 

for expressing ourselves through one 

particular material. 

It seems crazy, doesn’t it? Friends ask why I 

need to travel thousands of miles to simply talk 

about a material that’s as common as cookies. But, we know better. Simplistic? 

I think not. We still have a lot to discuss. From the ever-expanding technical and 

scientific realms of its use and usability, to critical discourse about ideas most 

“appropriate” to the medium, and all topics in between–we have many substantial 

matters to parry about. 

But why have we come to Australia to do this? It’s not just because it’s an amazing 

destination in its own right, geographically, culturally, and gastronomically, or just 

because the people are so endearing. It’s because the time is ripe to celebrate 

the Aussie’s and the region’s rich contributions to our field. Thirty years since the 

inception of Australia’s studio glass movement, many Australian artists and critics 

have attained international recognition. And as the astute, adventuresome artists 

and glass enthusiasts that we are, it behooves us to go to the source and learn and 

absorb all that we can from others who play a significant role in what we do. 

Our field continues to deepen its roots and to spread its branches across all borders. 

We are immersed in the love of a material about which the sharing of information, in 

certain ancient cultures, once carried a death penalty! I am grateful that we all have 

such a great opportunity as this, and the willingness to have traveled so far to share 

what we know with one another. 

Many thanks are in store for all those who made this brainchild a reality. Enjoy!

From the LORD MAYOR of ADELAIDE 

As Lord Mayor of the City of Adelaide I am delighted to 

welcome the participants of GAS@Ausglass to the city 

of Adelaide. 

With its easy layout, tree-lined boulevards, and wide 

range of excellent food, wine, and cultural opportunities, 

I am sure you will find Adelaide the perfect place to be 

while you focus on the myriad aspects of glass that 

GAS@Ausglass will touch on. 

The Adelaide City Council has had a significant 

involvement in both large-scale cultural events and 

Parliament Building, Adelaide 

public art programs over a long period of time. 

While you are here I encourage you to take the time to walk from venue to venue 

to experience the unique flavour these initiatives have given Adelaide. 

Your participation in GAS@Ausglass presents the opportunity to experience some 

wonderful Adelaide sites, including the Queen’s Theatre, the Drill Hall, the National 

Wine Centre, and the arts precinct in the West End of Adelaide. Wherever you are from, 

and whether you are a glass artist, collector, teacher, student, curator, or organizer, 

Adelaide offers you a marvelous experience while you are here in the city. 

Michael Harbison 

Lord Mayor 

From the PREMIER of SOUTH AUSTRALIA 

I’m delighted to welcome members of the international glass community to Adelaide 

for GAS@Ausglass: Matters of Substance. South Australia has a long-standing and proud 

connection with glass, and much of the work carried out here enjoys a national and 

international reputation for excellence. 

In the 1970’s, our former Premier, Don Dunstan, established the JamFactory–and the 

heart of what’s now a distinctive, creative, and energetic glass movement in South 

Australia began to beat. Since then many other glass institutions have developed here, 

with the latest being the new studio at the University of South Australia. 

While you’re in Adelaide, I hope you can see as much of our glass–and glassmakers–as 

possible. And please don’t forget to sample the many other good things this state has 

to offer–such as our superb wine, food, arts, and natural environment. 

I trust you’ll have a stimulating and rewarding conference, that you’ll stay in touch with 

South Australia, and that you’ll visit us again soon. 

Good luck and best wishes! 

Mike Rann 

Premier of South Australia 

Minister for the Arts

Lani McGregor and Daniel Schwoerer, Lifetime Membership Award Lecture: Thermal 

Couple–The 25 Year Collaboration between Bullseye Glass Co. and Australian Glass Artists 

Australia and its glass community have played a key role in the development of the 

Bullseye Glass Co. From Klaus Moje to current Canberra undergraduates, the relationship 

has been a symbiotic one that has provided the Pacific Northwest glass factory 

with inspiration for product and process while simultaneously giving support to 

Australian artists in the form of education, residencies, and exhibition opportunities. 

Bullseye partners Lani McGregor and Daniel Schwoerer touch on the history and 

highlights of this collaboration and where they see its future. 

4:00 pm - 4:45 pm Convention Centre, Hall F 

Richard Marquis, Lifetime Achievement Award Lecture: What I Did On My Summer

Dick Marquis “will start by showing historical slides of his first two visits to Australia in 

1974 and 1976. Included will be a rare picture of Nigel Lendon blowing glass wearing 

goggles and gum boots, and also Nick Mount welding together a glass bench. Oh, the 

humanity. Then slides of utes, free standing chimneys, and topiary of Tasmania. And 

that's not all: there will be slides of recent work and processes that have absolutely no 

fingerprints on them, including ‘Dick’s Slab Team’ making odd things in glass.” 

7:30 pm - 9:00 pm JamFactory, Ceramics Studio 

Etsuko Nishi, Demonstration: Pate de Verre by Ceramic Fiber Mold

Mark Eliott and Chris Arnold, Demonstration: Flame Jam 

For flameworkers, collaboration can be a rare treat. Chris Arnold and Mark Eliott are 

developing an approach resembling music improvisation, in which colors, rhythms, 

structure, and spontaneity interplay, and pre-made elements are woven in like riffs in 

a jazz solo.

experience since graduating from their study program, to present their work at the 

annual conference. Nominations are solicited from over 50 professional artists, academics, 

and curators. A jury then deliberates over the applications to select three individuals 

to lecture at the GAS conference. This year Matteo Gonet, Jiyong Lee, and Rakel 

Steinarsdóttir were each selected to give a 15-minute slide presentation on their work.

Dr. Kevin Murray, Strattman Lecture: “...but it be our craft, mum:” A Revaluation of Skill 

in Contemporary Art 

The humble craft attitude is evident in the Australian epic novel of glassblowing, Peter 

Carey’s Oscar and Lucinda. Until recently, contemporary art had the opposite attitude. 

In the late 20th century, the less an artist contributed to his or her work, the more 

valuable it was considered. Artists like Jeff Koons were more like media stars than 

toilers of the studio. There are signs today that skill is being revalued. The contemporary 

glass artist Josiah McElheney welcomes craftsmanship as a fixed point of reference 

in an otherwise market of unstable value. With his work, we see the possibility that skill 

may one day be accorded the same kind of mystique that we now grant to indigenous 

sources of inspiration. This presentation considers other glass artists, such as Maureen 

Williams, whose work might benefit from this new framework.

along their favorite glass related t-shirt (or as many as you like) to be exhibited in the 

Hub area during the conference. It may also include a show-and-tell session and 

fashion parade. To participate, drop off your t-shirt at the Ausglass Information Table 

at Conference Registration in the Convention Centre. You can pick up your shirt at the 

JamFactory atrium on Mon., May 9, at 3 pm.

Closing Night Party 

Queen’s Theatre, Gilles Arcade/Playhouse Lane 

Monday May 9, 8 pm - 2 am 

Dance the night away or just sit back, relax, 

and enjoy traditional Australian food, wine, and 

hospitality in the unique surrounds of the 

Queen’s Theatre, the oldest purpose-built theatre 

on mainland Australia. Built in late 1840, Queen’s 

Theatre opened as a theatre and has since had 

various owners and uses, from the City Mission, a horse bazaar, and sale yards, to a 

factory and showrooms. The Queen’s Theatre is a magical venue complete with echoes 

of the past, and is a unique setting for this year’s Closing Night Party. 

Traditional appetizers served. Cash bar available. 

Transportation: Shuttles will depart from the Drill Hall following the Auction for the 

Queen’s Theatre beginning at 8:00 pm and running in 10-minute intervals. The last 

shuttle will pick up at the Drill Hall for the Queen’s Theatre at 9:20 pm. The Queen’s 

Theatre is a 2-block walk back to the main conference hotels. 

The Closing Night Party is included in the conference registration fee. Be sure to bring your 

name badge.

2005 GAS LIFETIME ACHIEVEMENT AWARD 

Richard Marquis 

I guess because I write about Dick, people think 

that I am an expert on him or something. 

But, let’s get this straight: Dick is unpredictable 

and he is pretty much unknowable. I think that 

what I wrote for the jacket of his book might be 

a good place to begin: 

Richard Marquis, glassblower and collector 

of beat-up, vintage objects, has had an 

extraordinary influence on the development 

of contemporary studio glass in America 

and around the world. 

This is not my opinion, it is fact, and an 

impressive one it is. So, in a short bio, what can 

you say after that? That his prolific body of astonishingly original, challenging, and 

exquisitely executed work illustrates his boundless range and exceptional versatility 

as an artist? I could say that and do, with complete conviction. 

Rummaging through my notes, I found the following helpful information for those 

who wish to know Dick better. 

Dick’s humor: 

In a conversation about art (which Dick says is always a conversation about pretension), 

he mentions that every single piece he makes and has made is titled “Man’s Inhumanity 

to Man” (MIM), and that all of his “titles” are really just subtitles. His delivery is earnest, 

yet he is being totally ironic. 

Guidance for the collector: 

Dick is attracted to the strangest stuff and every time you mention something, anything 

–an Art Deco hotel sign, a ‘50s chair, World’s Fair memorabilia, a piece of farm 

machinery– he either says: oh, I have one of those, or oh, I need some of those. 

Personal interests: 

Most puzzling: not his bowling ball pyramid but the extensive collection of unexposed, 

expired film. 

Finally, I must add how impressed I am by Dick’s unending curiosity and possession of 

all kinds of knowledge, such as auto mechanics and art history. And that’s just the “A”s. 

– Tina Oldknow 

Nick Mount was once heard to say: 

Dick Marquis arrived down under in 1974 with a pioneering spirit, enormous interest 

in what he could see and find, and a huge capacity to be generous with his skills and 

information. 

What he took home is just a drop in the ocean of his extensive collections, while what 

he left behind after that and subsequent visits helped lay the foundation for the 

development of the Australian glass movement of today. 

You have to love the man with so much to give, who is not afraid to give it, and whose 

pool game tails off at the same rate as mine does, given the intake of adult beverage.

2005 GAS LIFETIME MEMBERSHIP AWARD 


GAS’ Honorary Lifetime Membership 

Award is bestowed upon those 

members who have gone “beyond 

the call of duty” in their consistent 

and undying support of our 

organization. 

I feel proud to have been chosen to 

write this special accolade for two 

people who not only have been 

incredibly generous to GAS, but who, 

literally, have been instrumental in 

spreading knowledge about glass 

throughout the world. Our two 

recipients truly embody GAS’ mission 

to educate people worldwide about 

the glass arts, and in particular, about kilnforming. Equally appreciated is their benevolence 

towards and involvement with artists who use the medium. This generosity has 

produced a rare artist-manufacturer synergy, which, consequently, has enabled many of 

us to transfer our ideas to objective reality. 

Dan Schwoerer, founder and CEO of Bullseye Glass Company and past GAS Board of 

Directors member, and partner Lani McGregor, who joined the “glass empire” (as they 

refer to it) in 1984 and now serves as the Executive Director of the Bullseye Connection 

(the company’s attendant gallery and retail center), are the benevolent souls about 

whom I extend praise. 

In 1998, prior to GAS’ Seto, Japan conference, Dan and Lani orchestrated a fundraising 

auction to benefit GAS that was sited at the glass factory. The event, replete with 

chicken roasted lehr-style, was extremely successful and was invaluable in helping 

GAS to meet its budget requirements for that year. 

And, it could not be more fitting for Bullseye’s “king and queen” to receive this award 

this year in Australia, as they can be credited with having introduced and/or with 

helping to promote many of the current Aussie kiln-workers, including Klaus Moje. 

Jessica Loughlin, Kirstie Rea, and Giles Bettison, to name a few. 

In my opinion, there are not two people more deserving of this award than Dan and 

Lani. They have given so very much to us all.

CONFERENCE PRESENTERS 

Biographical Information 

CATHERINE ALDRETE-MORRIS remembers when she was around 12 years old, firmly 

deciding to make herself something to wear. She made an “ill-fitted halter neck top 

with very bold metal buttons” as decoration down the center. “Thankfully, my taste has 

matured and refined (I hope),” says Catherine. Since then she has had several different 

lives, including alternative medicine, patternmaking in the fashion industry, and ceramics. 

Sole experimentation in kiln-forming later resulted in university and career challenges. 

“I am of the philosophy ‘How hard can it be?’ It is with this naïve optimism that I continue 

to make my glass and pursue harmony.” 

LYN ALLEN is the manager of major projects for ArtsACT and is responsible for the 

delivery of the Canberra Glass Centre for the ACT government. Lyn has been involved 

with the project for the past two years: she has overseen the establishment of the 

architectural contract, established a nationally-based artist reference group, and is 

currently working on articulating the position of director. Lyn has worked in the arts 

and government for over 10 years. 

CHRIS ARNOLD began training in scientific glass in 1991, but soon branched into the 

creative side of his medium. Many of his techniques were developed in solitude, as there 

are few lampworkers in Australia, and far in between. From 1997 to 2002 he completed 

a master’s degree as a way of meeting other glass-oriented artists. Chris is interested in 

developing a wider public appreciation of lampwork in Australia by creating individual 

and unique pieces that are the result of his many years of experience and eclectic 

influences gleaned from his travels and studies. A single creation may take just a few 

hours to make or may be worked upon for days, or even months, to completion. 

CLARE BELFRAGE lives and works in Adelaide, Australia. Her work has been distinguished 

by the use of fine glass threads to draw complex linear patterns on the surface 

of blown glass forms. Clare graduated from Monash University in 1988 and undertook 

further training at the JamFactory in 1991-92. She has lectured in glass studies in 

Australia and the U.S., and is currently an adjunct researcher at the South Australian 

School of Art, University of South Australia. Major public collections include: the Art 

Gallery of South Australia, the National Art Glass Collection, Wagga Wagga, and the 

National Gallery of Australia, Canberra. 

ROBERT BELL is the Senior Curator of Australian and International Decorative Arts and 

Design at the National Gallery of Australia. He is responsible for developing the gallery’s 

policy, collections, and exhibitions in the areas of ceramics, glass, textiles, metalwork, 

jewelry, furniture, industrial design, costume, and theatre arts. He was the curator 

of the National Gallery of Australia’s recent exhibitions: Material Culture: Aspects of 

Contemporary Australian Craft and Design; Crystal Clear: The Architecture of the National 

Gallery of Australia; and Hard Edge: Geometry in Design; and is currently developing a 

major exhibition of contemporary international craft to be held at the National Gallery 

of Australia in November 2005. He has an intensive involvement in contemporary 

crafts and design, having a background as a designer and as a practitioner in ceramics 

and textiles since 1967. He was Senior Designer at the Western Australian Museum 

(1967-1977) and Curator of Craft and Design at the Art Gallery of Western Australia 

(1978- 2000), where he was the curator of its major recurrent event, the Australian 

International Crafts Triennial, held in 1989, 1992, and 1998. He served as President of 

the Crafts Council of Western Australia (1978-1980), President of the Crafts Council of 

Australia (1980-1983, 1999-2002), Deputy Vice-President of the World Crafts Council 

43



(1981-1983), and is an elected member of the International Academy of Ceramics. He 

has been a member of numerous selection and judging panels for craft exhibitions 

internationally and in Australia, and lectures and writes regularly on decorative arts, 

crafts, and design. In 2003 he was awarded the Centenary Medal for services to the 

decorative arts in Australia. 

GILES BETTISON studied art at the Canberra School of Art and graduated in 1996. 

He moved to Adelaide and set up his own studio in 1997, and began with an exhibition 

in Hamburg and one in Melbourne. Since then he has had exhibitions and taught in 

Australia, the U.S., and Europe, as well as participating in survey exhibitions in these and 

other places. He has primarily been experimenting with murrini technique and working 

with Bullseye Glass. He initially started making vessels, but has also been working with 

other forms and has recently begun experimenting with materials other than glass. 

GAVIN BLAKE is the founder and Director of the Centre for Creative Photography, the 

only nationally accredited, privately operated photographic school in South Australia. 

Blake received his visual art education in Australia (BFA, SA School of Art, 1981) and in 

the U.S. (MFA, the University of Delaware, 1991). Gavin has been teaching photography 

since 1980 and has been a practicing artist since 1978. His artwork has been exhibited 

and published in Australia, the United States, England, Wales, Scotland, Germany, Austria, 

and Switzerland. Gavin Blake has participated in numerous solo and group exhibitions 

throughout his career, the most recent solos being Echo and Forensics, both in 2003. 

He is now living locally and maintains his own studio in Adelaide. 

JAMES CARPENTER is considered to be a leading architectural designer with a strong 

background in developing new and emerging glass and material technologies. His 

interest in architecture and structure has evolved into a unique design practice and 

studio, James Carpenter Design Associates, whose primary focus is the exploration of the 

natural phenomena of light in transmission, reflection, and refraction, as they influence 

architecture. His studio is a collaborative environment encouraging an interchange of 

ideas between architects, materials, engineers, structural engineers, and fabricators, and 

has received numerous significant national and international public commissions. 

SCOTT CHASELING is highly schooled in glassblowing, casting, grinding, polishing, 

and many other techniques, which he has gathered during 20 years of work in glass. 

Being recognized for his skills as a glassblower, he has travelled all over the world in 

the traditional way of ancient Italian, Czech, and German glass masters, both teaching 

and demonstrating. The artist’s expansive repertoire of skills has given him extensive 

freedom in his choice of ideas. Though he has full respect for glass, this difficult, 

enigmatic, seducing and tricky substance, he treats glass as the means, not the goal, 

in his conceptions. Skills, ability, and experience in manipulating with glass become 

more of an alphabet for him. Implementing this “alphabet” gives form and fruition to 

the “glass journals”, allowing us to build a commentary to issues ranging from global 

events to the backyard. 

JOHN CHILES has been a glassblower and glass-making equipment designer and 

builder for 25 years. His company, Hub Consolidated, Inc., has supplied everything from 

melting furnaces to dustpans for small studios, mega corporations, educational facilities, 

and everyone in between. John’s efficient, well-designed equipment is in use on every 

continent on the planet. John’s hobbies include figuring out and making stuff and 

sailing. He lives and works in Orwell, Vermont. 

44

RICHARD CLEMENTS has been flameworking for almost 40 years–the last 30 of them in 

Franklin, a small town 45 km south of Hobart, Tasmania. He mainly works with borosilicate 

tubing, and for many years has concentrated on color, form, and design on bottles 

or hollow forms. He makes all his colors in a furnace and modifies them on the bench. 

GRACE COCHRANE is senior curator of Australian decorative arts and design at the 

Powerhouse Museum, Sydney, with a key responsibility for contemporary Australian 

crafts and design. Born in New Zealand, she gained a BEd (1976) from the Tasmanian 

College of Advanced Education, and BFA, MFA (1984, 1986), and PhD (1999) from the 

University of Tasmania. She is the author of The Crafts Movement in Australia: a History 

(NSW University Press, 1992). Professional appointments have included membership 

of the Crafts Board and the Visual Arts Board of the Australia Council, and she received 

the Australia Council’s Visual Arts/Craft Boards Emeritus medal in 2001. 

TOBIN COPELAND-TURNER’s work begins as a feeling, vision, or dream. “I see myself 

as an artistic storyteller. Bringing form to the unconscious has allowed a unique 

exploration of reality by which a greater understanding of the self can be reached,” 

states Tobin. He finds it exciting and challenging to create pieces that inspire the 

viewer, and stimulate thoughts and feelings that are otherwise indescribable. Tobin’s 

complete biography and recent work is available online at www.currentglass.com. 

GISELLE COURTNEY is recognized as a leader in the field of flameworking, uniquly 

fabricating jewelry and objects from glass and precious metal. Giselle draws her 

inspiration from the sand and water patterns found throughout Australia’s coastal 

and inland waterways. Courtney’s work has been featured in major exhibitions and 

collections throughout the U.S., Europe, Asia, and Australia, including permanent 

work in the Corning Museum of Glass. 

JOHN CROUCHER began working with glass in the mid-’70s. Entirely self taught, he 

began mastering stained glass, neon, and then blown glass. In the early ‘90s, while 

operating a glassblowing studio, he joined forces with fellow director John Leggott to 

start a glass color bar and raw casting crystal manufacturing facility called Gaffer Glass. 

Gaffer Glass now takes up most of his attention, having become widely accepted as a 

premium product around the world. The technical challenges that glass color chemistry 

involve is an ongoing fascination. 

FRANCHESCA CUBILLO is a Larrakia, Bardi, Wardaman, and Yanuwa woman from 

the “Top End” region of Australia. Franchesca has worked extensively in the area of 

Indigenous Cultural Heritage as Curator/Senior Curator and Arts Administrator in state, 

national, and Indigenous arts organizations for the past 15 years. She currently holds 

the position of Artistic and Cultural Director at Tandanya, National Aboriginal Cultural 

Institute, and has a BA in Aboriginal Affairs and Honors in Anthropology. 

BENJAMIN EDOLS received his BA from Sydney College of the Arts and completed a 

post-graduate diploma at Canberra School of Art in 1992. Ben has given glassblowing 

workshops at Pilchuck Glass School, the Studio of the Corning Museum of Glass, Toyama 

Institute of Glass Art, Niijima Glass Centre, the JamFactory in Adelaide, and Sydney 

College of the Arts. Work that he has made in collaboration with Kathy Elliott is in the 

collections of the Victoria and Albert Museum, Powerhouse Museum, Auckland 

Museum,Toyama Art Museum, American Craft Museum, and National Gallery of 

Australia, among others. 

45



GEOFFREY EDWARDS is Director of Geelong Art Gallery in Victoria, Australia. Prior to 

this appointment he was Senior Curator at the National Gallery of Victoria in Melbourne, 

where he was responsible for, among other collections, the gallery’s comprehensive 

holdings of historical and modern glass. He contributes to many journals and is the 

author of Art of Glass–Glass in the Collection of the National Gallery of Victoria (Macmillan 

and NGV, 1998). 

MARK ELIOTT was drawn to glass by an encounter with a handblown 19th century 

bottle he dug up walking home from school in Sydney. “Following my nose to Minson 

Scientific Company, I commenced an apprenticeship in lampwork interrupted by 

experiments in Peter Minson’s backyard hotshop (way too much fun),” says Mark. 

After diversions into woodcraft he found himself “on the end of a saxophone,” then 

drawn back to borosilicate flamework. One strand of his practice is an attempt to 

“synaesthetically” bring glass and music together as sculpture; another is to honor 

life through biological representation. Political and philosophical notions also 

influence his work. 

KATHY ELLIOTT received her BA from Canberra School of Art in 1992. She has 

specialized in coldworking techniques and has given workshops at the Studio of the 

Corning Museum of Glass, Pilchuck Glass School, Toyama Institute of Glass Art, South 

Australian University at Underdale, and Canberra School of Art. Since 1993 Kathy has 

worked in collaboration with her husband Benjamin Edols. They live and work in the 

Northern Beaches of Sydney, Australia. Their work is in the collections of the Victoria 

and Albert Museum, Powerhouse Museum, Auckland Museum, Toyama Art Museum, 

American Craft Museum, and National Gallery of Australia, among others. 

MATT ESKUCHE was born in an empty beer vat, raised on bits of cheese and cased 

meats. As a child he roamed the wilds of Lake Michigan. Crafts of several media were 

used as a tool to tame his animalistic behaviors. A special case was made and he was 

taken in by the Worcester Center for Crafts, where metalsmithing became the outlet for 

the raw creativity of this man-beast. As attention deficit will have it, his eyes glazed over 

while in the presence of molten glass. At the hands of Emilio Santini, his dexterity was 

honed and his purpose realized. It is glass that he calls his family now. 

WENDY FAIRCLOUGH was born in New Zealand, and draws from her background in 

sculpture and printmaking in her approach to her still-life installations. Since receiving 

a Bachelor of Applied Arts, glass major, from the South Australian School of Art, 

University of South Australia in 2000, she has exhibited in Taiwan, New Zealand, the U.S., 

and Australia. Wendy is represented in private and public collections, including the 

University of South Australia and Ministry of Foreign Affairs (New Zealand). She currently 

has a studio-based glass practice in Adelaide, South Australia, and lectures in glass at the 

South Australian School of Art. 

NORMAN FAULKNER is an artist, educator, and maker of glass videos. He has taught 

glass at the Alberta College of Art and Design in Calgary, Canada, since 1974, but his 

interest in the exotic and his work in glass have led him to travel extensively. He began 

making videos in 1991 with Glass India, and is currently working on a series of video 

portraits of notable glass artists. 

46

IRENE FROLIC has been creating kilncast sculpture for almost 20 years. Her work is 

noted for its emotional impact and for its concerns with personal narrative. The early 

work was concerned with the crust of the glass and she did pioneering work in the use 

of plate glass and copper oxides. More recently she has been working with lead glass 

and has been exploring glass’ ability to capture and transmit light and color. Her 

most recent work is leaving the figurative and is shifting to form that is more abstract. 

Although Irene has developed as a studio artist and does not teach at any school, she 

has led many workshops in kilncasting in the U.S., Canada, Scotland, New Zealand, and 

Australia. She has been president of the Glass Art Association of Canada. She last 

appeared at the 2001 GAS conference in Corning, where she led the hilarious Mold- 

Making Olympics. 

PETER GEDDES graduated in 1969 as a mechanical engineer, and then received a 

management diploma in 1973. He has worked as an industrial process control engineer; 

an industrial project engineer; an industrial furnace engineer; and since 1980, as a 

ceramic and glass kiln engineer. He is currently managing director of Woodrow Kilns, 

manufacturer of kilns and furnaces for ceramic and glass industries, based in Sydney, 

Australia. 

MATTEO GONET has for the past four years been in charge of the blowing section 

at CIRVA, in Marseille, France. CIRVA is an international research center for glass and 

contemporary art, financed by the French government. Matteo is also developing 

his personal work. Having studied glass since the age of 15 in different studios and 

schools throughout Europe, he has much passion and respect for glass. Specialized in 

glassblowing, his work tells stories using recognizable images of male/female animals 

or objects, assembled in improbable constructions. He likes to play with the magic– 

the transparency and the fragility–inherent in glass. His themes usually come from 

personal experiences or his direct environment, and put the human being as subject 

or user in the center. The sculptures, as well as the functional objects, have in common 

a touch of humor. 

ALASDAIR GORDON graduated from the Edinburgh College of Art in 1957, specializing 

in glass engraving, and established an engraving workshop within the firm of Peter M. 

Kolderup, AS, Bergen, in 1958. In 1973, he established an engraving studio with the 

Strathearn Glass Co., Perthshire, Scotland. In 1980, after emigrating to Perth, Australia, 

Gordon established the Gordon Studio in Fremantle’s Bannister St. Craft Complex, and 

was made a Fellow of the Guild of Glass Engravers, London, in 1982. In 1994, with his 

wife, Rish, also a glass engraver, Gordon established their own gallery/studio at 23 

Carrington St., Palmyra, Western Australia. 

TONY HANNING is a full-time practicing glass artist working in isolation from his studio 

in Gippsland, 150 kilometers southeast of Melbourne, Australia. His work is mostly 

(but not limited to) triple overlay cameo glass, which has a strong narrative centered 

around memory, dreams, and desires. He is widely represented in both national and 

international collections, including the Victoria and Albert Museum in London. In 1984 

he worked for a time with Paul Marioni in Seattle. As a former public gallery director, he 

has an understanding of museum policy and curating, as well as an ongoing interest in 

art dialectic. 

47

JIRI HARCUBA, sculptor and professor, was born 1928 in Harachov/Harrachsdorf, and 

had his first big successes at the Brussels World Exhibition in 1958. He taught sculpture 

and engraving at the College of Arts and Crafts in Prague, and designed many coins 

and medallions. His first portrait in 1951 depicted his father. Harcuba very early 

removed himself from the classic glass cutting tradition and developed an individual 

style that “followed the track of the wheel.” His strong, expressive engravings also serve 

him as plates for glass prints. After retiring as principal of the College of Applied Arts 

in Prague, he continued teaching in America, Asia, and Europe. In 1997 he founded 

a traveling school, which he named after Dominik Bimann (1800-1857), the most 

important engraver of the Biedermeier period. 

EDE HORTON received a Masters of Philosophy in glass from the National Institute of 

the Arts, Australian National University. Ede is a past president of Ausglass and former 

juror for Craft Victoria. After training initially in stained glass, Horton turned to casting in 

the mid 1990’s. She has a studio-based practice in Melbourne. Her sculptures focus on 

emotional vulnerability and personal/cultural identity (www.edehorton.com). 

KATRINA HUDE lives on Whidbey Island in Washington State. She began working with 

glass at California College of Arts, and went on to receive an MFA in sculpture from San 

Jose State University, Calif., in 1995. Since then, she has been awarded the fellowship 

at the Creative Glass Center of America and Emerging Artist in Residence at Pilchuck 

Glass School. 

DR. NORIS IOANNOU has worked as a cultural historian, critic, and consultant in 

Australian decorative arts and heritage since 1981. He holds a Doctorate in cultural 

history and visual arts from the Flinders University of South Australia. He is the author 

of eight books, including the acclaimed Australian Studio Glass: The Movement, its Makers 

and Their Art (Craftsman House, 1995). He has written many essays on Australian glass 

for national and international journals. He has spoken at Ausglass conferences, and in 

1995 he was a speaker at the Creative Glass Center of America. In 1999 he addressed the 

Portuguese Glass Association’s International Seminar on Glass Art, and curated a major 

exhibition on Australian glass. He has been the crafts critic for the Adelaide Advertiser 

since 1989.

KI-RA KIM – see “Board of Director’s Biographical Information,” page 58. 

DR. GERRY KING is a “pioneer” of Australian contemporary glass, having studied glassblowing 

in the U.S. and Canada in the 1970’s before establishing his furnace studio in 

Adelaide. He is a foundation member and frequent contributor to Ausglass. At the 

University of South Australia he was instrumental in building the glass program, and 

was subsequently head of the School of Design. His research interests include cultural 

colonization in the visual arts. He is author of many essays on contemporary glass. As 

an artist his works are exhibited and collected internationally. Currently an independent 

artist, designer, author, and consultant, he lives in Adelaide and undertakes occasional 

teaching appointments. 

DAN KLEIN is a collector, writer, and curator specializing in contemporary glass. After 

closing his own gallery in London in 1985, he joined Christie’s as international director 

of 20th century decorative arts. In 1996 he was appointed professor of glass at the 

University of Sunderland. In 1996 and 1998 he curated the two Venice glass Biennales 

“Venezia Aperto Vetro.” He writes frequently on a variety of subjects relating to 

contemporary glass and is the author of Artists in Glass, published by Mitchell Beazley. 

He is also a founding member of North Lands Creative Glass in Scotland. 

NORIKAZU KOGURE graduated from Musashino Art University in 1990 and from 

Toyama City Institute of Glass Arts in 1993, studying plastic arts. Soon afterwards, in 

1994, Norikazu opened a glass art studio called Tonbo-dama Heigo. From here, she 

taught demonstrations at the 1998 GAS conference in Japan, the 2001 International 

Society of Beadmakers conference, and was invited to the Taiwan International Glass 

Exhibition in 1999. In 2002, she embarked on a career as an instructor, teaching in the 

plastic arts department of Musashino Art University. 

WARREN LANGLEY is well-known in the area of contemporary glass as a technical 

innovator whose exhibition, public artworks, and architectural scale works of the past 20 

years have primarily focused upon the use of large electric ovens. In 1981 he pioneered 

a technology using large sand beds in these ovens to cast or form custom glass projects 

for architecture. The technology initially focused upon his own exhibition work and 

public art projects but has evolved into the area of design-based glass manufacturing. 

More recently, in a spectacular extrapolation of the properties of his favored material, 

Langley has used large bodies of water in conjunction with remote source lighting technology 

to create a series of large scale light sculptures loosely titled glass=water=glass. 

Examples of this light and glass sculpture have now entered the built environment by 

way of a large architectural work for the French Ministry of Culture in Amiens, France. His 

work has been included in most major international survey exhibitions and publications 

on contemporary glass, and his large kiln-formed glass projects adorn many prestigious 

buildings in both his home country, Australia, and internationally. 

JIYONG LEE has been a Visiting Assistant Professor in the glass program at the Rochester 

Institute of Technology for four years. Lee was born and raised in Korea where he 

received a BFA in ceramics design from Hong-ik University. He moved to the United 

States to study glass in 1998 and received his MFA degree in glass from RIT in 2000. 

He has received several scholarship awards from Pilchuck Glass School and the Studio of 

Corning Museum of Glass. His work was selected in New Glass Review 24. He specializes 

in various coldworking and kilnforming processes. 

49



JESSICA LOUGHLIN is widely recognized for her unique and considered approach to 

kiln-formed glass. Her work portrays the essence of space, landscape, and beauty by 

using relationships between the environment and herself. Loughlin’s work has been 

recognized as “outstanding new artist in glass” in New York, and has been awarded the 

RFC glass prize and Tom Malone Prize in Australia. Since graduating from Canberra 

School of Art in 1997, she has been working as a studio artist at the Blue Pony studio 

in Adelaide, Australia. Her work is regularly exhibited in the U.S., Europe, and Australia, 

and is represented in major collections nationally and internationally. 

JEFF MACK’s career as a glassmaker has offered him a variety of opportunities, from 

factory production to working and studying with world renown glass artists. He was 

awarded the Corning Award from Pilchuck Glass School in 2003. Mack is currently the 

master glassblower and production manager at Greenfield Village (Dearborn, Mich.) 

where handmade glass has been produced for 75 years. In addition, he creates his 

own award-winning designs. He enjoys sharing from his experiences, teaching, and 

demonstrating at art schools, universities, and glass studios across the country. 

RICHARD MARQUIS – see “Lifetime Achivement Award,” page 41. 

PAUL MCCLARIN, who works from his home in Adelaide’s south, is Australia’s only 

genuine glass eye manufacturer (ocularist). Paul trained originally as a scientfic 

glassblower in Belfast, Northern Ireland, and immigrated to Australia in 1978 with his 

wife and two daughters. In 1980 he met an elderly German gentleman who taught 

him the art of glass-eye making over the next five years. About every four years Paul 

travels to Germany to obtain the special glass that is required for his work and also 

to take the opportunity to update his skill. In 2003 Paul was awarded a Churchill 

Fellowship for his work. 

LANI MCGREGOR – see “Lifetime Membership Award,” page 42. 

ROBERT MICKELSEN – see “Board of Director’s Biographical Information,” page 58. 

JAMES MINSON is a third generation glass worker. As well as being a glassblower, his 

father, John, hosted “Hoedown”, Australia’s longest running country music radio program. 

James has degrees from Sydney College of the Arts and Tama Art University in Tokyo. 

He was staff at the Niijima Glass Art Center in 1990, and is in the Graduate of Psychology 

degree program at Antioch University, Seattle. In 2002 he established the Minson 

Esquela De Vidrio glass studio at the Misioneros Del Camino home for orphaned, 

abandoned, and malnourished children in Sumpango, Guatemala. He has taught at 

Pilchuck Glass School, Penland School of Crafts, Pratt Fine Arts Center, Urban Glass, 

Espace Verre in Montreal, the Studio at the Corning Museum of Glass, the Pittsburgh

is represented in public and private collections worldwide. 

YORIKO MIZUTA was born in 1955 in Sapporo, Japan. She graduated from Doshisha 

University, Kyoto, where she studied art history and aesthetics. Mizuta has been Curator 

of the Hokkaido Museum of Modern Art, Sapporo, since 1980. She was involved in many 

exhibitions such as the triennial series of World Glass Now (1982,‘85,‘88,‘91, and ‘94), 

Japanese Glass in the Edo Period (1984), Japanese Glass in the Showa Period (1986), 

The Glass Skin (1997), Emile Galle (2000), and Outspoken Glass (2003). 

50

KLAUS MOJE, born and raised in Hamburg, Germany, started working with glass at the 

age of 12. Later he entered an apprenticeship in his father’s workshop and continued his 

education at the glass schools in Rheinbach and Hadamar, where he gained his Master’s 

certificate. His attempts in fusing techniques began in the early ‘70s, and shortly after 

succeeding he travelled to teach at numerous places. In 1979, teaching at Pilchuck Glass 

School, he first met the Bullseye representatives. The result of that was the Bullseye 

Compatible range of glass that he has used from 1982 on. He never looked back, and 

introduced this material into his teaching program that he started in 1982 at the 

Canberra School of Art in Australia. In 2000, he was awarded by GAS the Lifetime 

Achievement Award, which he considers the most outstanding honor he has received, 

and which, Klaus says,“only will be surpassed by the honor to present the Lifetime 

Membership Award to Lani Mcgregor and Daniel Schwoerer.” 

RODNEY MONK is one of Australia’s premier public mural artists, with over 200 murals in 

Australia and around the world. In addition, Rodney is prolific in reverse glass painting. 

His inspiration is etched in the unique diversity of the Australian landscape, heritage, 

and habitat. 

TOM MOORE, the youngest of three children, was raised in a town renowned for its 

circuitous streets, in a house full of books and animals, on better than average food. 

A certain tone was set when, as a toddler, Tom was brought along to protest the erection 

of the Canberra telecom tower for environmental and aesthetic reasons. As an adolescent 

with singular fashion sense, Tom attended School Without Walls studying Sexism, 

Religion, and Metaphysics, Fine Art and Social Change. A knitted hot water bottle cover 

so impressed the interview panel that Tom was admitted into the glass program at 

Canberra, where he developed as an untamed weed. 

RICHARD MORRELL studied glass in England from 1976-79, then immigrated to 

Australia to help set up the hot glass course at Monash University, Melbourne. 

Resigned from education to become a professional glass artist, he ran his own studio 

for nearly 20 years.He has work in most public collections of glass in Australia. His glass 

pieces have graced the pages of Neues Glas, Craft Arts International, Belle magazine, and 

Vogue Living. Richard has won a several prizes, scholarships, and awards. His work has 

been exhibited in Wales, England, Denmark, Germany, Japan, Indonesia, New Zealand, 

and Australia. He currently lives and works in Bali. 

NICK MOUNT - It was written of Nick Mount that “his success as a glass artist is due 

almost entirely to a set of circumstances that are never likely to be repeated again in the 

history of Australian art, when he was asked to assist a leading exponent of free blown 

studio glass while a student at Australia’s most radical art school of its day. The combination 

of technical expertise offered by Richard Marquis, and the freewheeling philosophy

CONFERENCE CO-CHAIRS 


ALISON DUNN has been working with and around artists and creators for over 20 years, 

beginning with lowly technical jobs in theater companies, and then moving on to 

marketing, sponsorship and communications work for organizations as diverse as the 

Sydney Opera House and the Adelaide Festival of Arts. Now she works at JamFactory 

Contemporary Craft and Design, where she encounters the work of glass artists every 

day. “It’s impossible to be here without developing a fascination for glass and the 

people who make it. Thanks to the generosity of studio head Matt Larwood and the 

team, I have have become a part of the glass studio, where we harness everyone’s 

complementary skills to make our contribution to the world of glass the very best it can 

be,” says Alison. When not “dreaming of the day when all artists receive their rightful 

place in the firmament,” she lives in South Australia with her partner David Reid, who 

is a painter, and their two sons who are very busy being small boys. 

MATTHEW LARWOOD completed a Bachelor of design at the University of South 

Australia in 1989, and was then accepted into the trainee program in the glass studio 

at JamFactory Contemporary Craft and Design. He went on to run a successful glass 

production business in conjunction with his wife, Simone. In 2001 he became the first 

Head of Glass Studio to be completely trained and educated in South Australia. As a 

designer/maker he enjoys the challenges glassblowing presents, and his current role

California; establishing one of the first private hot glass studios in Australia; being 

President and Treasurer of Ausglass over the last decade; project-managing the Chihuly 

exhibition in Adelaide; and living and working with her family for the last 30 years in 

the supportive and generous glass art-making community of South Australia.
