Join us for a casual Wednedsay Talk with South Australian contemporary glass artist Nick Mount.

ABOUT THE ARTIST

Nick Mount was among the first generation of artists to be introduced to glassblowing in Australia in the early 1970s and is recognised as a living treasure. Few, if any, have contributed more to the field in this country. Mount is a craftsperson who has always worked across the spheres of art and design - designing for production, undertaking bespoke commissions and creating exhibition work. When he was Head of JamFactory's Glass Studio in the mid-1990s, he set a course which continues to strongly influence JamFactory's operations today.

These major works showcase his technical dexterity in the Venetian glassblowing style, his eye for sculptural composition and his delight in the details that emerge from the processes of working with glass. This is the first time Mount has publicly exhibited these types of large-scale lighting works, which he has previously only produced as private commissions for clients as far away as the Philippines, Germany and the United States.
