nick mount

Nick Mount was among the first generation of artists to be introduced to glass in Australia in the early 70s. He and his partner, Pauline, went on to establish Victoria’s first private hot glass studio and subsequently developed an internationally renowned arts practice that continues to reach new levels of technical and artistic achievement today.

Over the years, Nick has participated in countless exhibitions and has had work acquired by more than 20 public collections internationally, including the National Gallery of Australia, the Corning Museum of Glass and the Palm Springs Art Museum in the US, and the Toyama Glass Art Museum in Japan. Working across the fine arts, craft and design, he has also worked with an extensive list of clients in the design and production of bespoke commissions, including Rockford Wines, the Park Hyatt in Sydney, and SkyCity Casino in Adelaide. His award winning Martini Set is in the collection of the Art Gallery of South Australia and he more recently designed and fabricated the limited edition Penfolds Ampoule.

Nick’s longevity as a leading glass artist and designer is testament to his virtuosity with the medium and intuitive ability to let it speak for itself. Founded in the historic and cultural traditions of the Venetians, inspired by the collaborative nature of studio glass and cultivated by the local and international glass community, Nick’s work tells a uniquely Australian story. It is a story of partnership and persistence, industry and innovation, experimentation and growth.

In the traditions of the studio glass movement, Nick is an advocate for communal training and production. He has a reputation for being a generous mentor and regularly collaborates with a team of highly skilled glass blowers. In a career spanning almost 50 years, Nick has made a significant contribution to the development of studio glass as an artistic medium in Australia and is celebrated as a master of his craft.
