Red plate
Nick MOUNT: artist
Mount has been a leading figure in the Australian studio glass movement for over forty years. Mount worked with American glassblowers early in his career, both in Australia and the US, and this ignited his passion for hot glass blowing. He enjoys the challenge of the degree of skill furnace work demands, where the final object is born from fire and given life through the breath of the artist. Mount’s aesthetic is a combination of traditional Venetian glass blowing methods, and the purity of Scandinavian design fused with the strong colours of American ‘funk’ craft.
