Although many texts discuss studio glass blowing in Australia, few focus on the South Australian situation and even fewer are written by studio glass blowers themselves. As a studio glass blower, I bring to this research experiential knowledge of practice to offer new insights into studio glass blowing. The study accesses knowledge that is implicit, embodied and tacit; knowledge derived from living and working within a particular community. In using this knowledge, I highlight the importance of both financial survival and the development of practice in creating a practitioner's perspective of studio glass blowing in South Australia. The study is designed as an ethnography. This incorporated a review of the literature and images found in published texts; interview and questionnaire data; anecdotal narratives and familiarity with the South Australian glass blowing community; and tacit knowledge of glass blowing practice, glass blowing skills and techniques. This tacit knowledge was accessed through an auto-ethnographic investigation of re-making the selected artefacts. The selection of these artefacts was based on my personal knowledge of glass blowing processes, first hand relationships with individual glassblowers, observation of artefacts and prior experience of working as a studio glass blower.

This document contains reflections on my motivations and the personal decisions made in the realization of selected works leading up to and including my thesis exhibition "Voice". The following text shares the many and varied connections between my life and art-making. My issues in my personal relationships with others has spilled out from my heart and turned into these works. I'm continuously expressing the unsuccessful attempts we make at developing true bonds that bridge the gaps between people.

Visuomet ieškojau būdų kaip saugoti gamtą ir buvo įdomu, kaip ir kiek vartojame, kokią žalą patiria aplinka ir tuo pačiu mes patys. Pradėjusi magistro studijas supratau, jog tokius ekologiškus sprendimus, kaip antrinis stiklo panaudojimas, galiu pritaikyti ir kūryboje. Technika – “fusing” ( sukepinimas), pate de verre. / Studying Master‘s degree studies i understood that creating artistic glass object can be applied ecological aspects and recycling ideas. Creating in fusing and pate de verre technologies.

Magistriniame darbe yra aptariami šiuolaikiniai stiklo meno pavyzdžiai, kurių meninėje ir technologinėje raiškoje skleidžiasi ekologinės idėjos. Šių dienų visuomenėje ekologijos tema palaipsniui tampa vis svarbesnė, todėl mano darbe taip pat nagrinėjamos globalinės ekologijos problemos, ekologinė situacija, ekologinis auklėjimas. Nuosekliai aptariama ekologijos reikšmė visuomenės gyvenime ir meninėje erdvėje, ekomeno tikslingumas ir jo sąsajos su perdirbtu stiklu. Svarbi ekologiško, socialiai angažuoto, meno sąvoka. Išskiriami reikalavimai, kuriais remiantis, toks menas tiek savo forma, tiek turiniu apima ekologinę etiką, ir gali padėti sukelti pagarbą gamtai, nurodyti pamatines vertybes, išplėsti ekologinį supratimą. Stengtąsi atkreipti dėmesį į stiklo gamybos ekologizavimą, perdirbimo naudą tiek ekologiniais, tiek finansiniais ir energetiniais aspektais. Plačiau aiškinamas šios medžiagos perdirbimo aktualumas tiek Lietuvoje, tiek pasaulyje, mat per metus susidaro daugybė tonų stiklo atliekų. Šios stiklo atliekos perdirbamos į daugybę kasdien sutinkamų objektų. Jiems formuoti naudojami atitinkami formavimo būdai: valcavimas, tempimas, presavimas, liejimas, pūtimas, moliravimas, sukepinimas ir pate de verre technika. Meno pasaulyje šiandiena ypatingai populiarūs perdirbto stiklo kūriniai. Darbe plačiau aprašoma užsienio menininkų kūryba, analizuojamos pagrindinės idėjos, išryškinamas techninis pasirinkimas. Lietuvos stiklo autorių kūryba aptariama saikingiau, nes šalyje...

In today‘s society the topic of ecology is gradually becoming more important, therefore my work examines global ecological problems, its situation, and environmental awareness. The importance of ecology to a society‘s lifestyle and the art world, “eco art’s” expedience and its connections with recycled glass are coherently discussed. Defining ecological and socially engaged art is important. Requirements are set, based on which such art in its form and content covers the ethics of ecology and is able to help foster respect for nature, teach underlying values, and widen the understanding of ecology. It was sought to show attention to making the process of glass production more ecological and the benefit of recycling from an ecological, financial, and energy aspects. The relevance of recycling this material both in Lithuania and the world is widely explained because countless tons of glass waste is produced per year. Glass waste is recycled into a lot of objects of daily use. They are being formed in several applicable methods:, extrusion, rolling, casting, blowing, and pâte de verre technique. Artworks from recycled glass are exceptionally popular today in the art world. The work of foreign artists is widely discussed, underlying ideas are analysed, and their choice of technique is highlighted in this paper. The work of... [to full text]
