Residency update





Apologies for the delay in an update, but I stand by the fact that I have been busy making work.



I have now come to the end of the fifth week in my six week residency at Canberra Glassworks, and am wondering where all the time has gone? I have, however, been very busy making new product for the shop, work for an upcoming exhibition and trying out a few new things in between.









Over the first few weeks i worked on a new jug idea - not into pruduction quite yet, but gives me something to go from.





The first two weeks was mainly spent doing prep work - pulling lots of cane and getting ready to make some pieces.























This is the beggining of a set of functional pieces i will be exhibiting as part of the Sala festival in Adelaide this year in a show on at JamFactory.


In between the time i spent pulling fancy cane for the exhibition, i worked on a new product range i had an idea for, using white cane with transparent chips on the outside.

The results, so far, being some hemisphere bowls and some vases - both currently available from the Canberra Glassworks shop!










I have also had some time to explore some more extensive exhibition work, with multi-layered incalmos and merletto cane.
