Artist Talk: Elliat Rich & Holly Grace

The Glassworks Artist Talk series is an opportunity for artists in our Artistic Program to share their experiences and experimentations with the arts community in an informal presentation.
This public talk will be held in the Canberra Glassworks foyer with light refreshments available. Everyone is welcome and there are absolutely no silly questions. We are all here to learn. 

ELLIAT RICH, Designer in Residence
Elliat Rich is based in Mparntwe (Alice Springs, Central Australia). She works across a broad-spectrum of design for a diverse client base, remotely, locally and nationally. Her practice covers cross-cultural resources, exhibition design, public art and furniture, product development, one-off exhibition and editioned objects. Presently, she is working on projects for Melbourne Design Week, Canberra Glassworks and Museum & Art Gallery of Northern Territory.

"Throughout this year, I will be developing furniture, wall mounted mirrors and small mythical glass vessels in glass. These will be displayed in my upcoming exhibition at the Glassworks in October as well as Melbourne Design Fair in 2025."
