The beautiful collection of glass sculptures shown above is the work of Australia’s master craftsman, Nick Mount.  This most accomplished and celebrated studio glass artist was named Living Treasure: Master of Australian Craft in 2012.  In one of his exhibition entitled, ‘The Fabric of Work’, he was quoted as saying:

“I identify as a maker and believe “work” is fundamental in the development of identity. This principal extends well beyond those of us that call ourselves “craftspeople” and, for me, the fabric of our community is, to a large extent, determined by the work we do with our hands.”
