Annette Blair Public Demonstration and Talk
New Zealand Glassworks is looking forward to hosting Australian Artist Annette Blair for an exclusive Masterclass. Blair will focus on refining technical skills, solving creative and practical challenges, and exploring objects that balance both aesthetic and technical possibilities in glass.
Based at Canberra Glassworks and her studio in Burra, New South Wales, Annette has dedicated her career to refining glassmaking techniques to create beautifully crafted homewares and unique exhibition pieces. Alongside her own artistic practice, she regularly works as a gaffer, collaborating with leading artists to realise their glass projects. Annette also teaches glassblowing and glass painting workshops across Australia and internationally.
While at NZ Glassworks, Blair will be present a live demonstration and artist talk, dates and locations below.
Come and discover the work of Annette Blair at NZ Glassworks through August.
