Today there is a general consensus that Australian studio glass is one of the most vital areas of craft activity with numerous glass practitioners "pushing the medium", blowing, casting, or otherwise trailblazing ideas and forms into being. This work explores the development of the studio glass movement in Australia, identifying its founding and successive glass artists, and presenting the manner in which practitioners express themselves creatively through the immense range of figurative, painterly, sculptural, decorative and functional glass form. Drawing on interviews with over 100 glass artists, in addition to extensive research, the author locates Australian studio glass within an international setting. This includes discussion of the links with the North American Hot Glass Movement, descriptions of seminal events and the work of key individuals over the past 20 or so years, and a critique of the current community of glass practitioners and their social organization Ausglass.
