11 Wentworth Avenue, Kingston, ACT 2604, Australia
Get close to the action as skilled glassblowers shape glowing, molten glass right in front of you. It’s hot, fast and full of movement—like watching science in action! You’ll also see artists use special tools and techniques to create delicate glass pieces inspired by nature.
Drawing inspiration from ecological systems and the intricate structures found in nature, glass artist Justine McLaren will demonstrate work informed by her shortlisted Waterhouse Natural Science Art Prize piece, Biotope. Through close observation and material experimentation, McLaren's practice reveals how artists and scientists alike seek to understand the complexity and beauty of the natural world. Gaffed by Tom Rowney.
