A Â鶹ֱ²¥ of Technology student wants to hear from anyone with information about the history of art glass in Western Australia.<\/p>\n

Rosie Fitzgerald of South Perth is seeking to uncover the largely hidden history of WA glassmaking as part of a Master of Applied Cultural Heritage Studies she is undertaking at Curtin.<\/p>\n

\u201cArt glass includes functional and non-functional forms using an array of techniques including blowing, fusing, slumping, casting, cutting or engraving,\u201d Ms Fitzgerald said.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere seems to be a lot of people who admire and collect fine examples of art glass, and some excellent work from WA.<\/p>\n

\u201cCreating art glass can be a difficult and dangerous business, requiring special equipment and training.<\/p>\n

\u201cI am interested in speaking to anyone who has studied, taught or practised glassworking so that I can establish what art glass has been produced here in recent decades.\u201d<\/p>\n

Ms Fitzgerald is being supervised on her research project by Dr Jennifer Harris and Professor David Dolan of the Cultural Heritage Program in the Faculty of Humanities at Curtin.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere is not much known about this rare and beautiful craft in WA,\u201d said Professor Dolan, who was formerly Senior Curator of Australian Decorative Art and Design at Sydney\u2019s Powerhouse Museum.<\/p>\n

\u201cThat\u2019s why Rosie\u2019s research project is even more fascinating and significant as it will go a long way to filling the apparent gap in the historical records of art glass.\u201d<\/p>\n

Anyone with information should contact Rosie Fitzgerald by email rosiefitzgerald@iinet.net.au<\/a> or phone 0431961734.<\/p>\n
