I, finally, received my copy of Marmalade. I’ve got a page to myself in this first-ever edition of the now annual publication by JamFactory.

Poleturners
Next Friday, I head out to Pilchuck to help make over 110 centerpieces for their annual auction. All I know is they’re gonna look something like this but after nearly 3 months out of the studio, I’m itching to get back into it.
Pilchuck announced Lynn Everett Read as the designer for the 2013 Annual Auction Gala centerpiece. This is his sketch which will be the basis for the design. We will need to work out how to realize his vision in the context of a 20-30 person production team and then make over 100 0f them (as well as benefactor gifts) in the short span of two weeks.
Herringbone Bottles
I’ve added new images of herringbone inspired bottles as well as some more plaid inspired ones under Tessuti.
BeeBop
This recent creation is an extravagant key holder. Beebop is equipped with two standard issue robot claws for holding your most used key rings while his entire body is actually a vessel that can store the rest.
Aviary Series and Tessuti
I’ve just added some images of new exhibition work! There will be more to come soon but for the moment, check out the Aviary Series which features some hot-sculpted birds and flora hot-joined into clear glass forms. Also, a series of patterned bottles I’ve been working on called “Tessuti.”
Glass Underwear
Due to popular demand, I have resolved the glass underwear into a more-streamlined, production item. Following the most recent JamFactory product review, “Briefs” will soon be available in the JamFactory shops.
Work Available in ACT!
I’ve recently sent off a bunch of work to the Canberra Glass Works. So if you’re in the area, head on over to check out their shop and some live glassblowing!
New Images
I’ve updated the site with some new photography. Check out the variation on my Aerie Series that may be the beginning of an exhibition series including specific bird species. I’ve also added a bottle and cup set to the Niche Series and some more glass panties. There will be more variations on the underwear to come!
Cane Workshop
Last week, Tom Rowney visited from Canberra to teach a week-long workshop with a focus on cane tumblers. It was a bit of a break from the regular routine. Here are some amateur photos of a few of the cups that I made. I’m getting some ideas for some bigger projects using similar techniques so keep checking in for that.
Get It While It’s Hot
I just put the finishing touches on a bunch of Aerie bowls, vases and jugs and delivered them to the JamFactory Morphett street shop. Some of it will also be going to the Rundle mall shop. So come on in to check it out and take some home!
