The chameleon of glass - fragility, strength and sustainability

Welcome to 2011, 40 years since Craft Australia's establishment in 1971. Our focus for 2011 will be on sustainability and the future of the craft and design sectors. This edition of ca enews celebrates the international prominance of Australian glass artists and examines some of the issues being considered by them as they explore scale and intimacy, functional, sculptural and installation based works, traditional and innovative techniques, complex copyright, the 'Post Glass' video festival and the potential for glass to bend light, magnify or distort an image.
