Bruny Island Beads - Kate Morton

Having trained as a secondary art teacher with a ceramics major it was a small step to the medium of glass which performs even better and more instantly than clay with the application of even greater heat.


The naked flame of torch work that melts glass rods to a liquid that can be manipulated into glass jewels for someone to wear is the most exciting and rewarding artwork I have ever done.


Add to that, picture making with pieces of glass sheet that is melted into a whole functionable object such as a dish or a plate and it is not surpising that, artistically, glass is my addiction!
