Celebrating our tenth Anniversary Exhibition of Contemporary Flame Formed Glass 

Peter Kolliner OAM, Gallery Director, is delighted to invite you to the 10th Annual Overview of Contemporary Flame Formed Glass. Since our first Flame on Glass exhibition in 2003, flame formed glass has developed to a point that many of our participating artists have become internationally acclaimed and flame formed glass is now recognised as a significant art form in Australia and overseas.
