JAMES McMURTRIE

"Glass captures the world in a whole different light. Its fluidity and availability to achieve instant results, reflects my desire to create beauty and interpret the world in which I live."

​

With a Bachelor of Arts degree (from the Chisholm Institute of Technology) under James' wing he embarked upon a series of learning experiences with different and very interesting glass artists. Richard Morrell and Don Wreford were instrumental in introducing him to the real world of glass from selling to building and maintaining a working studio.

​

He now lives at the base of the Grampians National Park, in Victoria, Australia, where he has built a glass blowing studio and gallery.

​

Surrounded by a 400 million year old mountain range; is a great source of inspiration with its ever changing landscape, colours and moods. Another major inspiration is travel, and seeing old architecture which has utilised local materials in the building process such as Gaudi’s La Sagrada Familia (in Barcelona) and the round towers at Glendaloch (outside Dublin).
