Glass artist David Hobday says he loves living close to the sea because it offers an ever-changing source of inspiration for him.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cFrom the power and form of waves to the intricate details of minute shells and never ending discoveries along its shores and rock pools,\u201d David said.<\/p>\n

\u201cI have lived in Point Lonsdale for nearly 40 years, working for 30 years as a marine scientist, all the while exploring my passion for glass whenever I could.<\/p>\n

\u201cFor the past nine years I have worked solely as a glass artist in my purpose-built studio.\u201d<\/p>\n

David said he was fascinated by waves and had spent years working out ways to capture their form in glass.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey have now been my signature pieces for more than 10 years,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

David said he was looking forward to this year\u2019s Bellarine Arts Trail.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s a great opportunity for me to connect with people, and share my studio and how I work with glass,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

\u201cI will have on display some of my latest work and some smaller items including jewellery.\u201d<\/p>\n

David said his glass was generally \u201ckiln formed\u201d, meaning he used an electric kiln to fuse and form or slump the glass into marine inspired artworks.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere are many possibilities with this type of glass working and I will have examples of many techniques on display \u2013 from fused and slumped pieces to flame-worked sea creatures, pate\u2019 de vere bowls and lost wax cast objects,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

\u201cI really enjoy teaching and running workshops in my studio encouraging newcomers to glass to catch the bug!<\/p>\n

\u201cDuring the weekend I will be introducing my 2019 series of workshops, which willcater for all levels of ability.\u201d<\/p>\n
