Glass has an attraction, seductively luring through its play of colour, light and form. And yet, the medium has struggled in recent years, notoriously expensive to make and an art market that has dwindle over the past decade.
The news then, that 2022 is the United Nations International Year of Glass (IYoG2022) offered hope.
ArtsHub kicked off the year by arming readers with the quintessential guide for all things glass in Australia – from where to study, where to see it exhibited, and how it is impacting current trends in contemporary practice.
