<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif; font-size: large;">A friend who scours the second-hand shops found this quite remarkable sculpture by glass artist Tony Kuepfer in the Hospice Shop in New Plymouth. It reminds me of the 'Mr Potato Head' toys of the 1950s (and more recently).</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;">It is clearly signed and dated AWK (Tony Kuepfer's initials) '76 NZ, which makes it an early piece of Tony's work. </span></span></div>

<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">Tony has confirmed that it pre-dates the visit in March 1977 by English gaffer Fred Daden (see my November 2016 Blog about that visit and the wonderful film made in Tony's studio</span> </span><a href="http://newzealandglass.blogspot.co.nz/2016/11/fred-daden-and-tony-kuepfer-at.html" style="font-family: verdana, sans-serif; text-align: justify;">http://newzealandglass.blogspot.co.nz/2016/11/fred-daden-and-tony-kuepfer-at.html</a>). </span></div>

<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">Before Fred came, Tony was not well able to get his glass pieces sufficiently thin, and he could only form 'feet', for goblets or for sculptures, <span style="text-align: justify;">by dropping a gather of glass onto the marver [a flat iron plate], flattening it quickly, then picking it up on a rod to attach it to the object. </span><span style="text-align: justify;">This piece demonstrates that clearly - it is thick and heavy, and the foot was not made in the way Fred showed Tony how to do, as seen in the March 1977 film.</span></span></span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="text-align: justify;">Tony has commented: "</span>I sort of do remember making
this along with one or two other strange critters. Not much more to say other than having a
bit of fun and seeing how far you could push your rudimentary skills at the
time. I remember earning some critical comments from people like Don Driver about
producing this California Flash. Didn’t sit well with the craft community then
as the Bernard Leach strict school of fine craft was order of the day. Guess I
sort of rebelled against that attitude." Don Driver (1930 - 2011) was one of New Zealand's leading artists of the day, based in New Plymouth.</span></span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">Tony called this an 'Easter Egg-Head'. It is better made than 'Mr Potato Head', less heavy and with better modelled features, but it shares the use of silver chloride colouration to depict the hair (and ears in the earlier piece).</span></span></div>

That is clearly still a work in progress, since the glass is very thick and heavy, but to me that adds to its charm.</span></div>

nothing came up. Can anyone assist? Thank you."</span></div>

<div style="font-family: "trebuchet ms", sans-serif; text-align: justify;">

<div style="font-family: "trebuchet ms", sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
I have written about Keith a few times (see for example</div>

<a href="http://newzealandglass.blogspot.co.nz/2014/12/more-mahy-mahi.html" style="background-color: #f6f6f6; color: #0066cc;">http://newzealandglass.blogspot.co.nz/2014/12/more-mahy-mahi.html</a><span style="background-color: #f6f6f6;">). </span><span style="background-color: #f6f6f6;">In June 2013, I wrote about Keith's death (</span><a href="http://newzealandglass.blogspot.co.nz/2013/06/keith-mahy-one-of-pioneers.html" style="background-color: #f6f6f6; color: #0066cc;">http://newzealandglass.blogspot.co.nz/2013/06/keith-mahy-one-of-pioneers.html)</a><span style="background-color: #f6f6f6;">, and explored some of his early work on 18 October 2014</span></div>

In my June 2013 blog I said, perhaps a little cryptically: "</span><span style="background-color: #f6f6f6;">In 1997, Keith and others developed the Beachcomber Glass Studio in Rarotonga, followed in 1999 by a training course there for young potential Rarotongan glass artists."</span></div>
<div style="font-family: "trebuchet ms", sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: #f6f6f6;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="font-family: "trebuchet ms", sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: #f6f6f6;">Jane's jug is a product of that Beachcomber Glass Studio. Those involved were Keith Mahy; his partner Shona Firman, a glass caster of considerable skill, with whom he had established Burning Issues studio and gallery in Whangarei; and Garry Nash, another pioneer New Zealand glass artist. The New Zealanders took the necessary equipment and materials to Avarua, the capital of the Cook Islands, and set up the Beach Comber Gallery. They set out to teach glassblowing to Rarotongan locals, to form the basis of a new craft industry; glass was a completely new medium for Rarotonga. As well as teaching new skills, the studio would provide a source of income from selling glass to visitors to the islands.</span></div>

This paperweight was made in Rarotonga by New Zealand glass artist Garry Nash. It is signed G.N. Rarotonga Cook Islands 1998.</div>

Sadly, Beach Comber gallery and its glass training scheme was short lived, and nothing now survives, apart from pieces like these that were made there. Garry tells me that after a while Apii Rangi left and started working for himself making pearl jewellery.</div>

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Footn</span><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">ote: Since I published this, another pioneer of New Zealand glass, Peter Raos, has commented: "<span style="background-color: #f2f3f5; color: #1c1e21;">The genesis of glass in Rarotonga came from a discussion I had with the Government at the time about recycling some of the waste glass that was piling up around the island. The idea was to transform it into items that could be sold back to the tourists reducing the waste. The model that was eventually tried was never going to be sustainable. A missed opportunity I think."</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">One of the benefits of attending a conference, like CoLab 2019 Whanganui </span>(see <a href="http://newzealandglass.blogspot.com/2019/02/colab-2019-conference-whanganui-was.html">http://newzealandglass.blogspot.com/2019/02/colab-2019-conference-whanganui-was.html</a>), <span style="font-size: large;">is the opportunity to meet artists whose glass you own but whom you have never met. One of the real pleasures in Whanganui was to meet Tasmanian flame worker Richard Clements. Although we had never met, I felt as if Richard has been 'living' in my house for over twenty years.</span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">On a visit to Melbourne in 1998, I went to see The Meat Market, an 1874 heritage building operated as an exhibition venue by the Crafts Association of Victoria (now part of Creative Victoria). I was immediately attracted by Richard's 'trophy head' of an 'Animal of Unknown Origin'. He has made quite a series of these over the years, but he tells me he found some customer resistance to the idea of a trophy head, so he stopped mounting them on a board. Mine is an early one, complete with headboard. I love its colourful quirky nature.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">The vendor seemed so certain that I took this at face value, and happily added another 'Clements' to my collection. However, the downside of meeting an artist is that he can say 'I didn't make that'. Which is what Richard said when I showed him a photo of this unmarked yellow lamp. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">Bother! If not Clements, then who made it? When I asked an Australian collector with whom I have exchanged information over the years, he suggested it looked like the work of Tina Cooper (<a href="http://www.tinacooper.com/">http://www.tinacooper.com/</a>). Having looked at her website and also listings on Australian eBay, I am sure he is right. Tina's </span><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">Queensland studio was at Eumundi when she made this, though she has since moved to Palmwoods.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">Richard Clements was born in England, and served his apprenticeship to become a scientific glassblower, making the complicated glass equipment that research laboratories need. In 1970 he migrated to Sydney, and continued scientific glass-making there, but felt the need to broaden his horizons. W</span><span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">ith two colleagues who were also looking for something a little different, he formed a new business called Argyle Glass down at the Rocks in 1972. </span></span><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"><span style="background-color: white;">The trio set up a studio and started blowing glass in front of the public. It proved to be a very popular attraction, with people crowding in to watch the process.</span><span style="background-color: white;"> I recall visiting Argyle Glass during a trip to Sydney in 1974 - who knows, I may well have seen Richard then.</span></span></div>

There </span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">he discovered a little piece of paradise in Franklin, on Tasmania's southeast coast.

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">I was one of four recipients recognised in 2017. I was delighted recently to attend a reception at the Museum to receive the award of Fellow of the Auckland War Memorial Museum. The medal was presented by Dr William Randall, Chairman of the Museum Trust Board, and Dr David Gaimster, the current Director of the Auckland War Memorial Museum. I was the Museum's Director from 1979 until 1993, which was the reason for the award.</span></div>

The Auckland War Memorial Museum Medals are made by Auckland sculptor John Edgar ONZM, who has made 45 of these Medals over the past 23 years. They differ slightly from year to year. John tells me mine is made from </span>black argillite or pakohe from Mokomoko Inlet and green
argillite from Green Hills. </span><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">Both deposits are found in quarries on the road from
Invercargill to Bluff, quite close to each other. The engraved band around the edge is aluminium, and the Medal is set in a wooden case.</span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">But no glass. The glass connection is in the wonderful series of similar medal forms, 'Coins of the Realm', that John Edgar has been creating for over 35 years. He began the series in 1982 and it is his stated intention 'to mint 1,000 distinct tokens for Aotearoa New Zealand'. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">My Coin of the Realm, which I purchased in 1999, is number 607 in the series. The Coins differ from one another, much more so than the Medals. (You can see some of the variety on John's website at <a href="http://www.johnedgar.co.nz/coins/coins.html">http://www.johnedgar.co.nz/coins/coins.html</a>). </span><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">My Coin is made from black Mokomoko Inlet argillite and grey-green greywacke from the Hauraki Gulf. A sliver of red glass separates the two rocks, which are bound by a copper band. A 'dawn' of red light shines between the darker hemispheres</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: 16px;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">In his sculpture John often contrasts the opaqueness and density of rock with the transparency and lightness of glass. Many of his works allow light to pass through the rock. This 'Calculus' or counting stone is one of John's series of 'altered pebbles'. I purchased it in the early 2000s. The greywacke pebble has been sliced, with slivers of glass inserted, so that something intrinsically dense and opaque has bands of light that pass through it. He has said </span><span style="text-align: start;"><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">that these pieces are his 'attempts to recombine that which has been divided, the transparent parting of the solid, seeing into the heart intact'.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">I greatly enjoy these glass and stone sculptures, and I am now delighted to have an Auckland War Memorial Museum Medal to display with them.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">In my blog in November 2016 [see <a href="http://newzealandglass.blogspot.co.nz/2016/11/fred-daden-and-tony-kuepfer-at.html">http://newzealandglass.blogspot.co.nz/2016/11/fred-daden-and-tony-kuepfer-at.html</a> ], I wrote about the wonderful archival film that has recently been resurrected through the NZ Society of Artists in Glass archiving project. In March 1977 English master gaffer Fred Daden came to Inglewood in Taranaki at the invitation of then almost beginner Tony Kuepfer, to show Tony some of the skills of the glass-maker. The film shows Fred repeatedly demonstrating how to make a wine goblet, and especially how to make the foot.</span></span></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">Quite out of the blue I was recently offered a decanter and four wine glasses. Together with a set already in my collection, they demonstrate beautifully how much Fred taught Tony, and indeed how good a student Tony was.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">These pieces certainly resemble the early glass Tony was making, but I wasn't initially entirely sure they were Tony's work. The decanters and goblets of his I have seen are quite elegant, and these are not that. Distinctively, the stopper is a hollow, blown form, and lacks the elegance of his later pieces. So I sent Tony an email, enclosing this image. Tony is always friendly and helpful, and I got a speedy reply:</span></span><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"> </span></span></div>

<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">'Yes, I am fairly sure they are
mine… very early mine, before I brought Fred Daden down. They would be
pre-1977. I was still very green then and only knew how to make feet for
goblets by dropping a gather of glass on the marver [a flat iron plate], a quick flatten then pick
it up on the stem. The design on them also is one I have done. Very thick and
chunky they are. Also, I didn’t know about or use the cross pontil mark until
Fred showed me, hence the more solid mark on the bottom.</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">All of which is very illuminating, and explains the chunky appearance.</span></span></div>

In March 1977, English glass gaffer Fred Daden came to Inglewood,
Taranaki, at the invitation of Tony Kuepfer, where he spent a month
showing Tony the finer points of studio glass technique.</div>

During its archiving project, two reels of colour 16mm film were located by NZ Society of Artists in Glass amongst the files of Mel Simpson, a founder of NZSAG and formerly Lecturer in Glass at Elam School of Fine Arts at Auckland University. At that stage, Mel was not sure what the film showed. The two reels were joined into one and transferred to DVD, to make it more accessible, but since there is no sound, no titles and no credits it wasn't until it was shown at the NZSAG Conference in Auckland in October 2016 that it was recognised for just what it was. Auckland glass artist Peter Raos was at Inglewood in 1977 and also at the 2016 Conference, and he at once recognised it. Stuart Park, glass blogger, also knew that Fred had been at Inglewood, and recognised Tony's studio. Excited discussion ensued, and the story of the film and its making emerged. This blog has been compiled by Stuart Park, with considerable assistance from Tony Kuepfer, Mel Simpson and Peter Raos. Mel paid for the film stock, and an Elam film enthusiast, Wilton Roger, shot the footage for him. Acknowledgements too to NZSAG, especially then President and Secretary Heather Oleson and Lisa Mak. </div>

Tony Kuepfer was born in Oregon in 1947. After doing a business degree at the University of Portland, he discovered the small glass course running at Portland State University, and spent two and a half years working in the glass studio. In Oregon, he met Carolyne, a Kiwi, and decided to come and spend a year in New Zealand, arriving in December 1973. But 4 months earlier, in London, he had met Fred Daden, who was Technical Tutor in Glass at the Royal College of Art in London. Fred had been a top gaffer in the English glass industry, at Whitefriars, when RCA pulled him in to teach in their glass programme.</div>

In New Zealand, Tony decided to make glass. He went to Taranaki in March 1974 – some friends had mentioned the old church at Inglewood. He went to see the Council, to arrange access to gas, because the church was outside the gas franchise area. They said this would be OK, but the Gas Corporation said no, saying he was too small a user – this was the era of Think Big, which had tapped into vast reserves of natural gas. That led to nearly a year of negotiation. Tony took out a business development loan, conditional on the gas being agreed, and used that as leverage to get approval for the gas. Gas came on early in 1975 – prior to that he was making stained glass lampshades. Tony made his first hot glass in NZ in 1975.</div>

In 1976, Tony was invited to attend the first international conference on hot glass at the Royal College of Art in London, so he renewed his contact with Fred Daden. At the conference Tony became aware of the distinction between the American approach to hot glass, where technique was not highly regarded, and the English approach in which technique was seen as the most significant, and of which Daden was a master. He realised that he would benefit enormously from working with Fred. So in March 1977, at Tony’s invitation, Fred Daden, accompanied by his wife Barbara, came to spend a month at Inglewood. Tony described this month as being equivalent to the amount of glass making he would have had in a yearlong diploma course. Tony says he learned a great deal from Daden, technically, especially how to make glass move – “a good piece is a fast piece”.<br />

In the film we see Fred Daden making glass at Inglewood, goblet after goblet, as well as some other objects. The camera lingers on his flowing hand movements, keeping the pipe and the glass moving continuously, in the way all master glass-makers move. Fred is the rather elegant gaffer, hair brushed, in well ironed shirt and tailored trousers. Tony is his ‘punty boy’, long haired, mustachioed and wearing rather short shorts. The contrast between the American and the Englishman is plain to see, but importantly, they had become, and continued to be, close friends. The Englishman is passing on the skills and techniques of the English glass tradition to this, at that time relatively unskilled, American.</div>

The film is unedited, with some of the sequences being a bit repetitive. We don't see Fred making any single piece completely from start to finish. Peter Raos has used his glass-maker's eye to provide some helpful comments, after viewing the film again recently: </div>
<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
"Fred is captured making several items and if you are not a glass blower it might seem a bit random. At one point he is making a clear wine glass with a drawn stem which includes a 'tear drop' bubble in the stem. We don't see the step where he sets that up but you can make out the bubble in the stem when the piece is near to being put away. Other drawn stem pieces show up at the end on the product shelf as air twist wine glasses. Fred knew how to make these but he had to practise; they got really fine and elegant towards the end. He is also shown making the cast on stem wine glass with a single bit as well as the more bucket shape bowl with multiple bits making up the stem. These multi bit stems are really tricky and Tony's glass was quite a soft formula, so you see Fred chilling those bits with the tools to keep it all straight. The use of the calipers to measure the bowl and the stem to create a standard height for sets of glasses also shows his training for making multiples of the same design in a run of production. </div>
<br />
"The trailed glass platter is employing one of the oldest known decorative effect in glass, the hooked trail, which goes back several thousand years. Fred would have been shown many things in his career as well as working out new approaches to making things and all this knowledge is passed on by doing and watching others do. He came to NZ at a time when we knew pretty much nothing.<br />
<br />
"Fred came from the apprentice system where all the kinks were ironed out over the years and you eventually earned your place as the gaffer and the servitors did what you told them. He said that the office would send down drawings and they would figure out how to make the piece on the shop floor. Then they would set about producing that piece until they were told to stop. <br />
<br />
"The bench or glassblower´s chair was made to Fred´s specifications [with its unusually long arms]. I had forgotten how he parked his jacks on the arm like that. We copied that move for a while but I kept burning my forearm on the hot blades, it was just a personal style thing that he did I guess." <br />
<br />
Thanks for those comments, Peter.<br />

There are a few other people in the background of the film. We see a second cameraman briefly at one stage, and there are the legs of people with different coloured trousers than Tony’s shorts. Peter Raos identified the punty boy who assists at 22 minutes 25 seconds onwards as being Howard Tuffery, now a noted Taranaki sculptor in stone and wood, who was assisting Tony in the studio at this period.<br />

<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">As an exercise Peter and Mel sketched pieces and asked Fred to make them. Perhaps as a challenge, Mel drew a complicated double handled piece with a separate lid. Fred said he didn’t like it, particularly the foot detail. However he simply got stuck in, making Mel his punty boy. Mel describes nervously bringing globs of glass to Fred and says the piece turned out absolutely exactly as he had drawn it. ‘Amazing - he was very clever craftsman indeed’, Mel said. Peter Raos, too, sketched a piece that Fred made, which he still has. Peter notes that they must have stayed overnight because the pieces he made from the drawing had to be annealed. In the film we see Tony putting pieces into the annealing oven several times.</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">There's an interesting small technical detail from 10 minutes 27 seconds onward. Fred uses the handle of his tongs to make the first of two cross marks in the nubbin of glass on the pontil that will be used to pick up the finished object, a technique that leaves a distinctive 'Maltese Cross' punty scar. The purpose is to provide a weak point where the object being made will snap readily off the pontil, reducing the risk of breakage. This scar is often used by collectors to distinguish Tony Kuepfer's post Fred Daden glass, though Tony (and Fred) were by no means the only glass artists to use this method. </span></span><br />

At the end of the film the camera spends some time looking at glass objects being offered for sale in Tony’s studio, some made by Fred Daden. These include many objects recognisable today as typical of Tony’s early production, including a platter such as we see being made in the film, and wine glasses, including some air twist stem glasses. There are also mugs, which Tony says Fred showed him how to make proper handles for and achieve an even thickness.

Because there is no sound with the film, we don't get a very good idea of Fred as a person. Peter Raos has said: 'Fred had a very even sort of temperament but he was very strong willed and focused when in the chair and handling the glass.'<br />

<div style="text-align: justify;">
English studio glass artist William Walker was a student at the Royal College of Art from 1977 - 1979, and in an email exchange he kindly provided information about Fred, as well as this photo of a swan he made under Fred's tuition at RCA. Some very similar swans appear amongst the objects at the end of the film. </div>
<br />
<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
William describes Fred as 'one of the finest craftsmen ever to walk the earth. He had no artistic ability but, boy could he make glass'. He would say, ''there's only one way to do this, Bill, an' that's the right way". </div>
<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>

<br />
"Fred was a classically trained glass-maker and taught me to make glass in the traditional way. He taught me to gather properly, and if you can't gather, you're wasting your time. Go back to the beginning and understand what's going on on the end of the iron and WHY. I'll always be in his debt as he taught me properly."<br />
<br />
"I got dead lucky as I spent a lot of time with him, sitting behind his
bench watching his every move and he relating to me what was going
through his mind. He would say things like 'Be brave, do all the work in
the 'ole..(glory hole) an' if you cut in 'ere, you'll get a noice fine
rim...he had a thick north London accent, so think of how you would
mimic a cockney and you're nearly there! <br />
<br />
I emailed William back to explore how Fred might have sounded if the film had had a soundtrack. I asked if a 'thick North London accent' might sound a bit like English actor Dennis Waterman, seen here on TV in <i>Minder </i>and <i>New Tricks</i>. William's response was "brilliant, Dennis Waterman's is typical of the classic London accent!" So now we can imagine Fred's voice as we watch the film.<br />
<br />
<br />
Fred stayed a month in Inglewood in 1977. But when Tony Kuepfer was involved in preparations for the NZSAG Conference to be held in Inglewood in April 1983, he made sure that Fred was one of the invited international guest lecturers / demonstrators . They were a distinguished bunch: as well as Fred there was Makoto Ito (Japan), Marvin Lipofsky (USA), Johannes Schreiter (Germany), and Australians Peter Minson and Keith Rowe. I blogged about the conference in 2012; Fred appears at the right in both the group photos I published there ( <a href="http://newzealandglass.blogspot.co.nz/2012/08/nz-society-artists-in-glass-conference.html">http://newzealandglass.blogspot.co.nz/2012/08/nz-society-artists-in-glass-conference.html</a> ).<br />
<br />
In these photos taken at the Conference by Tim Edwards, Fred, behind, is watching Peter Minson, while in the detail from the group photo the parking sign arrow points him out.<br />

As he had done in 1977, Fred made pieces for sale in 1983 to help defray the costs of his participation in the Conference. This platter, not unlike some we see being made in the 1977 film, found its way into my collection by way of TradeMe in 2008. </div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Following the 1983 Conference, Fred spent some time at the Hot Glass Company in Devonport with Peter Raos and Peter Viesnik, and they too very much appreciated the opportunity to learn from such a skilled craftsman.</div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
After 1983, Fred did not return to New Zealand, but he and Tony kept in touch. Fred did come back to this part of the world, since in January 1987, <i>AusGlass</i> held its 5th National Conference in Melbourne, with 'overseas guest Fred Daden (hot glass)'. Tony and his mother (who had developed a warm friendship with Barbara Daden), went to see Fred in Melbourne during <i>AusGlass</i>.The families exchanged Christmas cards for a number of years, before losing contact in more recent times.</div>
<br />
Sadly, Fred Daden died at home in London in November 2013.<br />

However, for one reason or another, stained glass windows have been the subject of quite a few posts over the past year. There have been good reasons for that, as current events or just where my fancy has led me have made stained glass the subject. Just when I was planning to get back to my more usual subjects, a magnificent book has been published </span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">about New Zealand stained glass windows </span>that simply has to be mentioned. Blown and cast glass must wait.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Brian Miller has just published a beautifully illustrated and most informative account of the work of his uncle Roy Miller (1915 - 1981), and the family firm that became Miller Studios in Dunedin in 1958. Roy started working with his father Oswell as a signwriter after leaving
primary school in the days when paint was mixed each morning from
powder. Roy Miller spent his life working at Miller Studios, mainly executing
stained glass windows for churches. </span></span><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">He began his work on windows in the late 1940s and
continued until his death in 1981. After Roy's death the Miller Studio glass department was run by Paul Hutchins,
assisted by Rose Tamplin, until it closed in <span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">1</span>988.</span></span></div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Roy Miller completed over 330 church
windows in some 130 churches spread throughout New Zealand. </span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Between 2010 and 2016, Brian researched, located and
photographed these wonderful works, as well as researching the lives of the designers
who produced the artwork for Roy and the artists in early Dunedin who
influenced him. The result is both a beautiful visual record of these windows and a fascinating account of the work of their designers and makers.</span></span></div>

several years, then designed around 300 church windows in about 100

<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">As well as these principal Miller Studios designers, many others involved with stained glass in New Zealand are referenced. The photographs, biographies and historical and technical information make this book essential for anyone interested in glass in New Zealand. More than that, though, the design and layout of the book has been very carefully thought through. Several indexes make simple using what could have been a very complex reference work. There is a list of every window made by Miller Studios, organised geographically, so it's possible to see which windows there are in your own locality, or one you might be visiting. This list identifies the designer and maker of each window, the church and its denomination in which the window is, and the page(s) of the book that refer to it. There's an index of churches, a general index and a chronology of Roy Miller's life and career. There's a description of the way the windows were made, a section on conservation and restoration, and an assessment of the state of the art today. The book has 272 pages, with 354 colour images and 18 monochrome photos.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , "sans-serif";">Northlanders
have been enjoying a wonderful exhibition at Kaan Zamaan Gallery in
Kerikeri. I have blogged before about the stained-glass of Kathy
Shaw-Urlich, the British-born woman of Maori descent who now lives at
Whatuwhiwhi in the Far North. Kathy trained in the mediaeval skills of stained
glass painting. She draws on imagery from her Maori heritage as well as her
European background and uses those wonderful skills to produce amazing work
(see my previous blog entries in 2012 and 2013 <a href="http://newzealandglass.blogspot.co.nz/2012/09/kathy-shaw-urlichs-tokerau-matariki.html">http://newzealandglass.blogspot.co.nz/2012/09/kathy-shaw-urlichs-tokerau-matariki.html</a>,

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , "sans-serif";">Kathy
was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2014 and has been undergoing a range of
treatment for the disease. The panels which are the centre-piece of this
exhibition were created in a ten week period of respite from treatment prior to
starting a strenuous course of chemotherapy which is currently underway (Kathy,
our thoughts are with you). The artist tells us that the ideas behind the works
had been developing throughout her treatment. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , "sans-serif";">The
title work for the exhibition, <i>Easter Rising</i> (above) offers a nod to the
Irish Easter rising of 1916 and her father's Dublin ancestors. The range
of rich imagery reflects Easter goodies, and Easter hares in the fields of the
Northern spring. In a central reference to her bid for recovery, a phoenix
rises before a Cross, around which are gathered the Virgin Mary, Mary Magdalene
and Saint John the Beloved, as they would appear in mediaeval glass. Another
mediaeval emblem is the White Hart of Hertford, Kathy's birthplace, one of
which she saw on Easter Monday 1997.</span></div>

<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , "sans-serif";">Many
layers of ideas and symbols are present in all the works in the exhibition,
reflecting Kathy's bicultural heritage and her thoughts about her own past,
present and future. These are explored in the explanatory labels for the
works. </span></div>

Green Healing Archangel Raphael, with Jesus suffering on the cross, His breast
scars like barbed wire, prayers of supplication, and healing green plants spiky
aloe and kawakawa, prolific in the Far North. <i>Revelation</i> 22: 2
references the Tree of Life, with its leaves for the healing of all nations,
the central motif in the window by Wilhelmina Geddes in Belfast, which I
discussed in my blog on William Wheeler (see <a href="http://newzealandglass.blogspot.co.nz/2016/03/and-now-its-irish-in-belfast-and-te.html">http://newzealandglass.blogspot.co.nz/2016/03/and-now-its-irish-in-belfast-and-te.html</a>).
That window, which Kathy drew to my attention, has been important to her for
many years, all the more so now, with its message of hope of healing for all.</span></div>

The window was made in 1920, which offers a clue as to why Wilhelmina Geddes selected this text as her inspiration. She had recently completed the magnificent war memorial window in Ottawa. But there is another clue in the perhaps unusually long dedication at the base of the window, and that dedication also explains my justification for including this window in a New Zealand glass blog.</span></span><br />

<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">The dedication reads "In memory of William Arthur Wheeler M.D., Captain N.Z.M.C., who served his country and his fellow men throughout the South African War and the Great War.

<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">I'll return to Captain Wheeler shortly, but I should describe the window a bit more fully (and since I haven't seen it, I'm indebted to Nicola Gordon-Bowe's book for the description). The text in Revelation 22:2 refers to a city down the street of which flows a river of the water of life, clear as crystal, coming from the throne of God and of the Lamb. <span class="highl">'On either side of the river was the tree of
life, bearing twelve kinds of fruit, yielding its fruit every month; and
the leaves of the tree were for the healing of the nations<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">'</span>.</span> The window depicts this river and the Tree of Life. It also shows small groups of people wandering amongst the trees along the banks of the river, dressed in brightly coloured garments, conversing with each other and accompanied by angels. At the top of the window an angel plays heavenly music while perched in a tree, and the man below him appears transfixed by the beauty of the music.</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">In her own description of the window, Wilhelmina Geddes wrote: </span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">"Different series of people walking about under trees in Paradise, and weary <span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">w</span>anderers at the foot.

<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">There is no particular biblical authority for this figure, and Geddes simply calls him a 'weary wanderer' but in my view this solitary figure is what gives this window its intensely personal quality.

<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">William Arthur Wheeler was born in Belfast in 1860 into a well-off medical family. In 1882 he graduated B.A. Honours in pharmacy from Trinity College Dublin, and in 1889 he graduated in medicine and surgery from Queens College Belfast. From 1889 until 1893 he practised medicine in and around Belfast, before going to Jalpaiguri in Bengal, India between 1894 and 1901. In March 1901 he was recorded in the census as being back in Belfast living with his brother George and his wife and their unmarried sister Kate.</span></span></div>

The British Army Medical Corps found itself severely understaffed when war broke out in South Africa, and recruited several hundred of these civil surgeons who were not themselves in the Army but were attached to elements of it to work in the military hospitals. William Wheeler served twenty months at No. 11 General Hospital, Kimberley and with the 3rd Scottish Rifles at Boshof. In recognition of his service Dr Wheeler received the Queen's South Africa medal, with clasps for 1901, 1902, Orange Free State and </span></span><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Cape Colony</span></span>. (The images are from Wikipedia, and do not show Dr Wheeler's own medal. I do not know the whereabouts of it or Wheeler's First World War medals. <span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">T</span>hey may be with the family in Ireland.)</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"></span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">A</span>t the end of 1903, Dr Wheeler sailed for New Zealand as a passenger on S.S. <i>Turakina. </i>I don't know why Dr Wheeler chose to come to New Zealand; it may be that he had met some New Zealanders in South Africa. A cousin had gone to New Zealand in 1901 and was a GP in Auckland, but they don't seem to have had much contact, so that may be coincidence. Whatever his reason, it was not the bright lights and big cities of New Zealand that attracted him. He set up practice in Owaka in South Otago, where he was first registered as a doctor on the NZ medical register in 1904. Over the years his registration followed his movements around the country: Owaka and the tiny settlement of Rainbow, Nelson in 190<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">6; Kaikoura between 1907 and 1908</span>; Wakefield, Nelson between 1911 and 1914. After he gave up his practice in Kaikoura <span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">h</span>e took passage to the UK in July 1908, returning to New Zealand as ship's doctor in October 1908. In 1915 he was registered as a medical doctor and pharmaceutical chemist in Ohakune. From there he twice wr<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">o</span>te to the NZ military authorities offering his services to the Army, as a volunteer in any medical capacity; his offer was<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"> declined. <span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">H</span>e was told '<span style="line-height: 115%;">there
are no vacancies for appointment with the Expeditionary Force', which might seem surprising</span>, thoug<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">h</span> he was now 55 years old. Maybe his age counted against him?</span></span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">However, on 24 September 1915 in Palmerston North, Dr Wheeler enlisted as a <span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">P</span>rivate in the Ambulance Corps. A pretty lowly position for a qualified surgeon, GP and pharmacist, you might well think. But the fact that he did serve in the NZ Army means that his service record is available, and it turned out to be a goldmine. <span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">A</span>t 15<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">2</span> pages long, it is one of the largest I have seen, and full of information.</span></span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">The file provides a possible explanation for Dr Wheeler's preferen<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">c</span>e for small towns and his shunning of the bright lights. It seems that while he was in India<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"> <span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">i</span>n the 1890s he contracted malaria, whose <span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">symptoms </span>he began to treat with morphine</span>. <span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">T</span>his opium derived drug was commonly prescribed in nineteenth and early twentieth century medicine, and indeed is still in use today, but it is of course highly addictive. <span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">A</span>s a Private in the Field Ambulance in<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"> 1915, Wheeler was sent to Cairo in support of the New Zealand forces then at Gallipoli. <span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">I</span>t would seem the authorities were delighted to find they had a qualified pharmacist amongst their number and so in March 1916 he was promoted <span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">A</span>cting Sergeant in the <span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">D</span>ispensary. <span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">However they were probably less delighted when only six weeks later he was admitted to the Aotea <span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">C</span>onvalescent <span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">H</span>ome in Cairo, suffering from "nervous debility". </span></span></span></span></span><br />

One might think he would disappear into obscurity again, but New Zealand was apparently short of qualified doctors. He was the subject of a Medical Board held in Wellington in <span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">May</span> 1917 which reported that Wheeler had debility from a morphia habit<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"> </span>in response to malaria and was over age. "<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">T</span>he man vehemently states that the accusation of morph<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">i</span>a taking is untrue</span></span></span> and that he never made any such statement.

<br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="line-height: 115%;">Wheeler's denial that he had a morphine addiction seems quite remarkable in the circumstances, but even more remarkable was the decision of the New Zealand Army's Director General Medical Services to take Wheeler on and commission him as a Captain in the New Zealand Medical Corps, stationed at Featherston Camp in the Wairarapa. He served there from June 1917 until December <span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">1</span>918, interrupted only by a fortnight in the Camp Hospital in March 1918 suffering from "nervous debility". A later report notes that during this period the Camp suffered from the effects of the 'flu pandemic and Captain Wheeler was considerably overworked as a consequence. At the end of November 1918, Captain Wheeler wrote to his superiors inquiring about his future prospects in the light of the current demobilisation. A reply was sent advising that his employment in his current position would continue for a further twelve months. </span></span></span><br />

The inscription on his tombstone "</span></span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">I pray thee, then, Write me as one that loves his fellow men" comes from a popular 1834 Romantic poem <i>Abou Ben Adhem</i> by Leigh Hunt, whose sentiment seems particularly apposite. </span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">In the will that all soldiers had to provide upon enlistment, then Private William Wheeler named his sister Kate in Belfast as his sole beneficiary. Kate was 2 years younger than her brother and as she was 53 and unmarried when he made his will he may have felt that she would need some financial support. Whether he left her very much money is not known, but she obviously felt the need to commemorate him appropriately. It seems likely that she provided the tombstone in Te Aroha and selected the epitaph which acknowledges his life of medical service. </span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Kate Wheeler also commissioned from </span></span><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"> <i>An Tur Gloine </i></span></span>and </span></span><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Wilhelmina Geddes <span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">the stained-glass window in his memory in their local church in Belfast. <span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">I</span>t cost £122-17s<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">-</span>6d, which one online source suggests is equivalent to £80,000 sterling <span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">t</span>oday<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">.

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">As its name says, this blog is about New Zealand glass, mostly as a form of discipline to keep my enthusiasm in check. But occasionally, as you may have noticed, I stray a little, usually when there is a New Zealand connection. I also deal mostly with glass that is blown or cast. But this entry is about flat glass, architectural glass, stained glass, and although these windows are in New Zealand, they sit very firmly in the tradition of Irish glass. The New Zealand connection is both the location of the windows, in the Karori Crematorium and Chapel, Wellington, and a link to contemporary New Zealand maker of stained glass windows, Kathy Shaw-Urlich.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">The Crematorium and Chapel was built in 1909, as the doorway proclaims, and is a Category I Listed heritage place. It was the first crematorium built in New Zealand, but its main interest for us is in the six stained glass windows in the interior. These were commissioned between 1914 and 1939 from the Irish glass studio <i>An Tur Gloine</i>. The Heritage New Zealand listing says these windows:</span></span><span style="font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif";"> </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif";">are considered to be the most important set of twentieth
century imported windows of their kind in New Zealand. They are also the most
significant group of windows produced by the Dublin glass-making studio An Tur
Gloine which exist outside Eire and Northern Ireland.</span></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">New Zealand's acknowledged specialist in stained glass, Dr Fiona Ciaran, has said that windows from <i>An Tur Gloine</i> are recognised as being among the greatest achievements in glass of the twentieth century.</span></span><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"></span></span> </span></span></div>

<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">The first pair of windows were designed and made in 1914 by Wilhelmina Geddes </span><span style="font-size: small;">(1887–1955), who was a vital figure in the Irish Arts and
Crafts movement and the 20th-century British stained glass revival. She was 'a
medieval-modernist painter of rare intellect, skill and aesthetic
integrity'. On her death she was described as ‘the greatest stained glass
artist of our time’ but since then she has been largely forgotten, until a crater on Mercury was named in her honour in 2010. Now </span></span><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">a magnificent 500 page biography and catalogue</span></span><span style="font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"> has been published. </span></span></span></span></span><span style="font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><i>Wilhelmina Geddes:</i></span></span></span><span style="font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><i> Life and work </i>is by</span></span></span><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"> Nicola Gordon Bowe, an Associate Fellow of the Irish National College of Art and Design, who has written extensively on the Irish Arts and Crafts Movement and the work of <i>An Tur Gloine</i>. A review in the <i>Irish Times</i> in November 2015 said that<i> </i>Bowe's<i> '</i>magisterial biography' tells a 'fascinating tale, shot through, as it should be, by glorious colour reproductions of the artist's work, illuminating the narrative as her windows did churches.' The reviewer notes that by the times Geddes died in 1955, she was already slipping into obscurity, and eventually most of Ireland had completely forgotten her. But thanks to this new biography, he concludes, 'Ireland has reclaimed a long-lost daughter'. The <i>Times Higher Education </i>reviewer <i>s</i>aid 'Happily, Nicola Gordon Bowe’s detailed study has rescued this
significant Irish artist from relative obscurity. This book is more than
an introduction to the artist’s life and work: it combines the author’s
art-historical insight with a biographical narrative enlivened by
memorable stories drawn from Geddes’ personal diaries and
correspondence, which, on more than one occasion, had me laughing out
loud.'</span></span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><i>Hope</i> has a much gentler Angel of Hope, waiting to greet a child in a boat, who is 'crossing over', surrounded by doves - </span></span><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">the young Louisa</span></span>, presumably. The clear pane by the child's head results from damage that had been done before the conservation of the window in 1984. It is thought that a lamp or candle was in the angel's hand as a beacon of hope, and the possibility remains of restoring that element to the image. The 1984 conservation returned the windows to sound condition, though sadly in the subsequent 30 years some of the windows have bowed, there's a recent break in one, and a good clean would not go amiss.</span></span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">By 1914, William Ferguson and his wife had suffered the loss of a mother and a daughter, and this presumably was what turned their thoughts to commemorative windows. Ferguson had studied at Trinity College, Dublin, and it is thought that he had met there one of the founders of </span></span><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><i>An Tur Gloine, </i>Sarah Purser. It was Purser who invited Wilhelmina Geddes to join the group in 1912, and so the Ferguson commission completed the circle. There is also a personal connection for me, since William Ferguson's nephew was the noted Auckland eye surgeon and community benefactor the late Lindo Ferguson, who was such a staunch supporter of Auckland Museum when I was there, and subsequently a good friend in Northland. </span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">But the New Zealand connection in glass is, as I mentioned, through Kathy Shaw-Urlich, whose worked I have blogged about previously (see for example <a href="http://newzealandglass.blogspot.co.nz/2012/09/kathy-shaw-urlichs-tokerau-matariki.html">http://newzealandglass.blogspot.co.nz/2012/09/kathy-shaw-urlichs-tokerau-matariki.html</a>, <a href="http://newzealandglass.blogspot.co.nz/2013/02/new-glass-for-whakapara-marae.html">http://newzealandglass.blogspot.co.nz/2013/02/new-glass-for-whakapara-marae.html</a>.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">Although she was born in<span style="font-size: small;"> England, Kathy has whakapapa connections to <span style="color: black;">Ngāti Hau at Whakapara and Te Uri o Te Aho o Ngāpuhi</span>, and now lives and practises in northern Te Tai Tokerau. </span></span></span><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">Kathy has told me that </span></span><span style="font-size: small;">Geddes has been her stained glass hero
since she first saw Geddes' work in the William Morris Museum in Walthamstow, an exhibition entitled <i>Stained Glass Women Artists of the Arts & Crafts Movement in </i>1986. </span></span>Kathy initially trained in architectural stained glass at Swansea in Wales, where she </span></span></span><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">did an intensive study of Wilhelmina Geddes' work, having
visited most of her windows in Britain and Ireland as well as the Karori
windows beforehand. In 1989 Kathy wrote a dissertation on Geddes, focusing on the window in All Saints Church at Laleham in Surrey. </span></span><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">Kathy was delighted to see
that Nicola Gordon Bowe has chosen a detail from that window for the book cover. </span></span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">I was going to restrict myself here to Wilhelmina Geddes' windows at Karori, but there are three more Ferguson family windows by another <i>An Tur Gloine</i> artist, Michael Healy, and it seems sensible to complete the series.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><span lang="EN-AU" style="color: black;">John Croucher was an
important influence on the development of glass in Auckland and New Zealand. After some experimentation and with
the support of the Queen Elizabeth
II Arts Council John set up Sunbeam Glassworks in Jervois Road in 1976. Formed as a loose co-op
of several craft-workers, glass production included hot glass, flat glass and
flame working. In 1981 two new glass-blowers became partners with
John Croucher at Sunbeam. Ann Robinson was a student at Elam
in 1980, and while there met Australian Garry Nash. After Ann graduated from Elam,
she and Garry joined John Croucher at Sunbeam in 1981. They developed the
new Sunbeam studio in McKelvie
Street in Ponsonby. This
was a highly successful partnership, and the Sunbeam artists brought wide
exposure to this new art form. </span></span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">In June 2007, I purchased this piece from </span><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-size: small;">Emma Camden’s exhibition <i>...something
remaining...</i> at <i>Avid</i> gallery in Wellington. </span>‘Fading memory’ is cast in pale yellow translucent glass. It
represents a charm bracelet trinket in the form of a revolving double sided
mirror. Cast into the glass ‘mirror’ face are the words ‘Fading’ on one side
and ‘memory’ on the other, so that the words show through to
combine as ‘Fading memory’. It is 14cm wide and 16cm long, with the ‘mirror’
being 10cm in diameter.</span></span></div>

which I understand were pieces based on a charm bracelet that belonged to
Emma's mother. Emma is preparing for a retrospective exhibition (that'll be something to look forward to!), and she'd like to locate the other pieces from the Avid exhibition. If you have these pieces, or know where they might be, Emma would love to hear from you - contact her direct, or through this blog.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">Keith Mahy was one of the pioneer glass artists in New Zealand, and one with a long career. In June 2013, I wrote about Keith's death <a href="http://newzealandglass.blogspot.co.nz/2013/06/keith-mahy-one-of-pioneers.html">(http://newzealandglass.blogspot.co.nz/2013/06/keith-mahy-one-of-pioneers.html)</a>, and explored some of his early work on 18 October 2014 <a href="http://newzealandglass.blogspot.co.nz/2014/10/are-these-early-pieces-by-keith-mahy.html">(http://newzealandglass.blogspot.co.nz/2014/10/are-these-early-pieces-by-keith-mahy.html</a>). More recently, I showed a range of examples of his work, based on my growing understanding following an opportunity to see examples of his work in the collection of his partner Shona (<a href="http://newzealandglass.blogspot.co.nz/2014/12/more-mahy-mahi.html">http://newzealandglass.blogspot.co.nz/2014/12/more-mahy-mahi.html</a>). Shona loaned me a number of archival items, including two fascinating newspaper accounts of visits to Keith's studio at Otonga, near Hikurangi North of Whāngārei, in 1976 and 1979.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">In the 1970s, New Zealanders had very few opportunities to see studio glass blowing, with only Keith, Tony Kuepfer in Taranaki and Reg Kempton in Marlborough operating studios. It would seem that for both these reporters this was a new experience, and so they give very detailed accounts, and thus included a great deal of fascinating detail that a more blas<span style="line-height: 115%;">é</span> reporter would have omitted. Neither newspaper is currently available on-line, and so it seems useful to repeat them here, obviously with acknowledgements to the reporters and to the newspapers. </span></span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">'Working in the heat of a Northland summer beside a furnace
which is roaring away at over 1200C may not be everyone’s idea of the perfect
job. But for Keith Mahy, who is living several kilometres north of Hikurangi,
it is just what he wants. In fact it is what he gave up a senior position as a
designer at Crown Crystal in Christchurch about two years ago to do. And so,
while everyone else in Northland is trying to find a way to cool down, Keith
will be stoking up the furnace, heating up the kiln nearby and getting down to
work.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br /></span></span></div>

</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">For Keith has taken up the age-old, traditional job of
glass-blowing, but without the usual six year apprenticeship and transforming
it into a modern art form. Until three months ago he had never physically
worked with glass, although he had spent five years preparing designs for
others to translate into finished articles. During that time he has watched and
studied the craftsmen at the Christchurch factory – union regulations forbid
him to actually try it himself. But through his designs and awareness of glass as a material
he felt he had become sensitive enough to try it for himself. </span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Two years ago,
with his wife and family, Keith left Christchurch and came to Northland,
searching for land where they could live, grow vegetables all year round and
make a clean break from their previous existence. After finding a farm cottage
out of Hikurangi, they settled down and he’s prepared all the necessary
equipment and took time to find out as much as he could about the total
process. To ensure some income he took up some other crafts – leatherwork and
furniture making. </span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">About three months ago he began his work as a glassblower
stop since then he has worked conscientiously, experimenting, improving,
building up stocks and finding outlets for his work. He works regular hours,
tries to achieve a set target each day, and approaches his work in a very
practical way. Every aspect was thought out, the costs involved were
investigated and as many details as possible we worked out in advance. This is
because glass is one of the more expensive crafts to become involved in. Keith
purchases off-cuts and broken glass from Crown Crystal in Christchurch by the
drumful. This simplifies the process considerably, as instead of having to
start the complicated glass-making process from scratch, he only needs to heat
the glass and liquefy it. </span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Because of the intense heat needed to melt the glass, and
the time taken to reach this heat, the furnace is left burning 24 hours a day.
Oil-fired, the furnace burns its way through about 90 litres of oil a day. And
the kiln has to be left heated day and night to call the finished product at
the specified temperatures to prevent shattering. The glass off-cuts Keith
receives are clear and to these he adds various metal oxides to achieve
different colours.' </span></span></div>

Hikurangi which Keith Mahy uses as a studio for his glass-blowing. Pictured
left and right is Keith concentrating on shaping the molten glass to a bubble
and then a jar. He tends to follow the shape developed by the material,
preferring to let the material work for itself. Very intense process which
requires a great deal of concentration, he finds the peacefulness and solitude
of a farm in Northland the right atmosphere for this sort of work.']</span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">'In the furnace he keeps two pots of the liquid glass, one
clear and one coloured. And armed with a long hollow metal rod he “gathers” the
glass on the end of the rod to start the process. Blowing gently; returning it
to the heat of the furnace; blowing; swinging the pipe and growing bubble;
dimpling the pliable material to obtain large air pockets; pulling with pliers
to obtain peaks and shapes on the outside of the glass; suddenly immersing it
in cold water to crack the glass.
Constantly returning the growing form to the furnace and then eventually
putting it completed into the kiln to cool. It is a fascinating process to
watch as the craftsman concentrates on his work. And it is an extremely
satisfying one for him. </span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Originally interested as a young man at art school in
sculpture, Keith regards his work as a glass-blower a continuation of this. He
feels his work to be a type of glass sculpture, but by making jars, bowls,
vases, cups and jugs, ashtrays and similar practical objects, he feels he has
achieved a happy compromise between making a living and concentrating purely on
an art form. Still very new to the process, he is more interested in developing
the form in his work than in achieving perfection and the quality of his glass.
However, he does hope that as he eventually becomes more experienced he will
reach a balance between form and glass quality. He feels the possibilities
which can be obtained through the combinations of form and colour to be
immense, and is constantly experimenting with oxides and temperatures to
achieve different colours. Until now it has been largely through chance rather
than intention that he has obtained the colours he has. Intensity of colour can
be obtained by increasing the number of “gathers” in the coloured liquid glass
or reduced by a combination of coloured and clear “gathers”. </span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">In the short time he has been glass-blowing, Keith is found
quite a considerable amount of interest in his work. Several shops in the fun
array area stock his glass, and on visits to Auckland with van-loads of his
work he has only had to visit two shops before the van is empty. There are
others in New Zealand doing this type of work, but they are scattered around
the country fairly sparsely.'</span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">'Anyone wandering past Keith Mahy’s place, north of
Hikurangi, could not be blamed for thinking he was taking the odd pot shot at
them. After all, he has the reputation in the area of being someone who gets
very heated at times. However, 31-year-old Keith, who for the past two years
has spent most of his time in a derelict milking shed in the middle of a
paddock, is far from hostile.</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">He is a full-time glassblower, probably one of only three in
the country. From the road his “studio” would never be noticed if it were not
for the odd explosion and the halo of yellow light surrounding it at nightfall.
Keith Mahy is making a living from blowing glass but is still feeling his way
and trying out new ideas to satisfy his own curiosity about the substance that
fascinates him so much. To do this he has had to face some shattering
experiments. Minutes after coaxing a red-hot blob of glass into the shape of an
elegant vase, his prize piece can shatter into hundreds of pieces, only to be
swept up and recycled.</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">But Keith is unperturbed when this happens. “You didn’t want
to buy that one did you?” He grins as another disappears into the night.
Normally this need not happen. When he is working seriously and intends selling
the finished product, he puts them in his kiln to cool slowly. “I’ve just had a
good day today and the kiln is already full of finished work, so I am just
playing around tonight”, he says. “Putting them out in the cold night air cools
them too quickly. I don’t think we’ll end up with anything this time.”</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">As he pulls the door of his home-made furnace open the glare
from the sea of white-hot glass inside makes him reel slightly. He wipes the
beads of sweat off his forehead and wriggles into his favourite blowing shoes –
a pair of semi-detached sneakers, ripped around the seams for “good
ventilation”. For the past 24 hours Keith Mahy has been feeding his furnace
with bottles he has collected around the neighbourhood, subjecting them to
temperatures of up to 1500°C. He puts in a metal blowpipe and gathers a blob of
glowing glass like treacle on a spoon. With all the sensitivity of a musician
playing a wind instrument, though he says he has never played one, he blows
through the pipe and the bubble on the end turns into a light bulb.</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">With all the precision of a drum major as he twirls the pipe
in his hands and goes through carefully rehearsed steps, keeping the glass
moving while it is still hot. He rolls it sitting in his special wooden
armchair, thrusts it back into the furnace, allows the fat blob to grow to
twice its length and patterns it with a few carefully aimed prods. If the
result does not reach expectations then it is thrown back into the furnace to
be born again. Turning out a different piece every ten minutes makes Keith’s
job appear deceptively easy. But if he does not act quickly once he has the
glass out of the furnace it can turn into an uncontrollable mess. His skill
lies in the way he can coax it according to a whim without it ever eluding him.
</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">In spite of the idyllic setting, Keith admits that like most
people the job sometimes gets him down. “It gets so hot in here I get very
short tempered at times. To counteract that I prime myself up beforehand on
plenty of water and glucose”. Then when he decides he has done his dash for the
day he has to give his body time to adjust to the change in temperature before
setting out across the paddocks in the cool night air to his home. If he does
not he is likely to catch a chill.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="line-height: 115%;">But this might not be a problem for too much
longer. Keith is planning to move to land he has bought on the Kaipara Harbour
where he is building an underground studio and kiln.'</span></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="line-height: 115%;">Keith Mahy grew up in Whakatane, and he made use of his contacts there to hold exhibitions of his work in 1977 and 1982.These two cuttings are from the <i>Whakatane Beacon </i>in 1977:</span></span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">Each piece of Keith Mahy’s hand blown glass is unique.
Patterns of native foliage framed by the semi-circular barn in which he works
have inspired most of the shapes – from the strong, plain lines of his goblets
and bowls to the fantastical swirls and flow featured in his vases and
decanters – but the fluid medium in which he creates has led to a ‘chance
effect’ in the end product.</span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">‘What I produce could be called mass-produced because I turn
out a lot of the same things,’ he says, ‘but because I free-blow, everything
comes out totally individual.’ Mr Mahy often does not know what is he is going
to create until just before he starts to blow. The spontaneity shows in his
work: many pieces appear to have grown, and frozen in place, naturally, rather
than having been made from a static design. Even his rejects are eye-catching.
At one shop in Christchurch display of his ‘failures’ – a stand of saggy wine
goblets – could have been sold several times over. Mr Mahy has been blowing
glass for a living for six years, two of these on his 10-acre block overlooking
a Kaipara inlet off the Pahi road, but he maintains he still has only relative
control of the medium in which he works.</span></span><br />

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">He loves working with glass. He talks about its ‘human
vitality’ – and is constantly experimenting. ‘Lots of things I do I have seen
somewhere but I am not totally influenced by that. I try to get a fresh
approach.’ Many of his ideas are taken from the native Bush outside his studio,
he says.</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">A graduate from Elam School of Fine Art in Auckland, Mr Mahy
considered glass as a ‘sculptural (three-dimensional) medium’ only after
designing for Crown Crystal in Christchurch. He had no models to emulate when
he went out on his own. He welded his own blowing irons (ponteils, or puntys as
they are called in New Zealand), carved his own shaping tools (‘pear-wood is
the best’) and accumulated and adapted conventional tools for cutting and
working the hot glass. Friends and neighbours supply him with ‘empties’: he
prefers to use recycled glass to making his own. He claims that enthusiasm (‘I
get a kick from the physical properties of the material’) and hard work have
carried him to the stage where he really enjoys what he does.</span></span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="line-height: 115%;">He blows entirely ‘by eye’. Pulling out a small
molten lump of glass from his oil-fired furnace (which runs 24 hours a day) on
his punty he puffs, cradles and rolls until the desired shape is formed stop
the finished article is then called or ‘relaxed’ in the annealing kiln. Up to
15 minutes is spent on each piece, although many take a lot less time.'</span></span></span></div>

Mahi is Māori for work, and I want in this post to explore more of the work of Keith Mahy. I</span></span><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">n June 2013</span></span>, I wrote about Keith's death <a href="http://newzealandglass.blogspot.co.nz/2013/06/keith-mahy-one-of-pioneers.html">(http://newzealandglass.blogspot.co.nz/2013/06/keith-mahy-one-of-pioneers.html)</a>, and explored some of his early work on 18 October 2014 <a href="http://newzealandglass.blogspot.co.nz/2014/10/are-these-early-pieces-by-keith-mahy.html">(http://newzealandglass.blogspot.co.nz/2014/10/are-these-early-pieces-by-keith-mahy.html</a>). Following that I have had a wonderful opportunity to talk with Keith's partner Shona, and see the wide range of examples of his work that Shona has. I was able to photograph these, and Shona kindly gave me several pieces. I've also come across some pieces held by others, and most recently was able to buy five wine goblets on TradeMe.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">Keith was one of the pioneer glass artists in New Zealand, and one with a long career. This blog presents examples of Keith Mahy's extensive glass practice, from the time he came to Northland from Christchurch in 1975 to set up his studios, initially at Otonga in 1976, then at Pahi from 1979 and lastly from 1986 in Whāngārei, at Northland Polytechnic and at Burning Issues.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">I was delighted recently when a potter from Havelock North listed on TradeMe five wine goblets she had bought from Keith Mahy's studio at Pahi about 1980. She had also been at the very first conference and workshop of NZ Society of Artists in Glass at Taradale in 1980, and had a try at glass herself, using the portable kiln Garry Nash made, though she has pursued ceramics rather than glass as a career.</span></span><br />

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">So I was very surprised when this cranberry red crackle glass decanter appeared on TradeMe. </span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">The listing read: </span></span></div>
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br />Cranberry crackle glass decanter with stopper. </span></span><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"> </span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Very pretty and in lovely condition. </span></span><br /><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"></span></span><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"> </span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Signed by Chuck Simpson 1989. </span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Very collectible piece. <br />28cm x 10cm </span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">No-one except me showed any interest in it, so my bid was successful. Now it has arrived I can confirm it is clearly signed Chuck Simpson 1989, when Chuck was working at Inglewood.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">I can't recall seeing any other piece of crackle ware made by a New Zealand glass artist. Of course, now I'm hoping other examples will show up.</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">An article by</span></span><span style="font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"> Stan & Arlene Weitman in Angela Bowey's Online Glass Museum <a href="http://www.glass.co.nz/crackle.htm">http://www.glass.co.nz/crackle.htm</a> tells me that crackle glass is formed by immersing the </span></span></span><span style="font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">glass in cold water while it is still molten hot, thereby
cracking the glass. The glass is then reheated and either mold or hand
blown into the shape desired.
The reheating of the glass seals the cracks. On the outside of crackle glass you can feel the cracks, but the inside is smooth.</span></span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Having experienced what happens when a hot glass object is dropped accidentally into a bucket of water (the explosion put my young daughter off visiting glass works for a number of years!), it sounds like a scary process, but it does create an interesting effect.</span></span></span><br />
<span style="font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br /></span></span></span>
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">I will be interested to hear of other pieces of New Zealand crackle glass. I wonder how much of it Chuck Simpson made.</span></span></span><br />

<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">In June last year I wrote about the death on 14 June 2013 of Keith Mahy, one of the pioneers of glass in New Zealand <a href="http://newzealandglass.blogspot.co.nz/2013/06/keith-mahy-one-of-pioneers.html">http://newzealandglass.blogspot.co.nz/2013/06/keith-mahy-one-of-pioneers.html</a>. One of my considerable regrets is that although Keith lived and worked so close to me in Northland, I never got to interview him about his life and work. I spoke to him about my intention several times and he responded willingly, but I never got round to it.</span></span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">One of the things I intended to do in that interview was to show Keith a number of pieces in my collection that I believe to be his, seeking confirmation that they are Mahy pieces. Keith seldom signed his work, and certainly in the early period I don't think he signed anything. So identifying his work is problematical. Some times a former owner will attribute a piece to Keith, sometimes other glass artists have recognised a piece as being made by Keith, but often I have made a (more or less well-) informed guess, based on design, glass colour and quality, and ultimately, 'gut feel'. It's not a very good way to identify pieces, but it is usually all I have. <table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="float: right; margin-left: 1em; text-align: right;"><tbody>

And for those of you who may use my blogs to help develop your own collections, 'caveat emptor et lector' - buyer and reader beware! </span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">Living in Taranaki in 1983, 21 year old Murray Hill became interested in the glass being produced at Tony Kuepfer's workshop at Inglewood. Tony tells me Murray 'kept hanging around'. </span></span><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">Having graduated with a B.Sc. in biochemistry, he began working at weekends in Tony's studio in 1983. </span></span><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">He worked on the Motunui project and in the dairy
factory, and saved enough money to spend a year learning to blow glass – he
proved his persistence. Tony was able to arrange for Murray to receive a vocational training grant from the Queen Elizabeth II Arts Council in 1984 which also supported his working full-time at Inglewood. He continued there until 1987, making exhibition pieces as well as what he referred to as "domestic glass production work". He exhibited in the <i>Philips Studio Glass Award</i> in 1986 and was the overall award winner in the Crafts Council exhibition <i>Glass '87 </i>in Christchurch in 1987. Elizabeth </span><span style="font-size: small;">McClure was the judge for the 4<sup>th</sup>
Annual Contemporary Craft exhibition for Glass at Compendium Gallery in Auckland in 1987, and she awarded the prize to Murray.

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">In 1988 Murray began working full-time for the Labour Department in New Plymouth, but he continued to blow glass at Inglewood at weekends. He won the ANZ Bank Art Award of $1,500 in the exhibition <i>Fibre and Glass</i> at the NZ Academy of Fine Arts in Wellington in 1988. In 1989, Murray went to Teachers Training College and then was a secondary school art teacher until 2013. Murray stopped making glass about 1990, though he did exhibit in the exhibition <i>The Drama of Glass</i> in Wellington in May 1991.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">The illustration at left is Murray's entry in the 1986 <i>Philips Studio Glass Award</i> catalogue. The blown, cut and acid etched piece was entitled <i>Taranaki Bite. </i>In his artist statement, Murray said "Glass is very seductive, it is easy to think you are making a statement with a piece, when really you are showing the intrinsic dynamics of the glass. I want to impose on the glass, not have it impose on me."</span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">The piece at right is in a private collection in Taranaki and would seem to be from the same series as the Philips piece.

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"></span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">In an email to me recently, Murray said: "Right from the very beginning I was motivated by the desire to make sculptural 'art' pieces. During the financial strictures of the 80s and 90s this was not always a realistic proposition. Glass studios are expensive to run, and doing a lot of production work to pay the bills quickly stopped being fun. By production I mean the large volumes of day-to-day saleable items. You also had to be a very quick learner (which I wasn't) – studio time and materials cost money and failures had to be minimised. Sadly this worked against following up those mad ideas that were begging to be brought into form. Having said that, my happiest memories are of assisting Tony Kuepfer in the studio – bringing the gathers of hot glass to him (he could really blow glass) and in his hands, the making of stemmed wine glasses, bottles, plates – anything at all – was this miraculous process. To have experienced that is a true gift. Midwinter in Inglewood was pretty harsh, and a hot glass studio was a great place to be – everyone wanted to stand next to the furnace!</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">"Lastly I must mention Nelson's Bakery of Inglewood, which was just around the corner from Tony's studio. They made these amazing steak and oyster pies (with real oysters) – stunning! A lot of glassblowing was powered by those pies!"</span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">I asked Murray about the inscription 'dropped by MH' on this piece. He replied: 'When I was assisting Tony a piece would
occasionally pop off the punti, and if it was at a certain temperature it would
bounce and roll, and with luck the punti could be reheated and the piece
picked up, and finished. These pieces
always seemed a bit special to me, especially if they came through unblemished
- have a close look on the sides and you may see some scuff marks. The odd,
dull, hollow clonk these pieces made when they hit the concrete was so
surprising, even more so when the piece was at a very finished stage and the
crash of shattering glass is expected.
Thanks, that has bought back the memories of all sorts of sights, sounds
and smells that were long forgotten.' </span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">One of the great thrills of hunting for glass on internet auction website <i>TradeMe</i> is when you buy something you don't know what it is, but you have a hunch, and it turns out to be something quite special.</span></span></div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">Of course, there are also those occasions when the hunch proves to be wrong, and the piece turns out to be nothing, or something of no interest that I can't identify. Which is why I have a box of motley pieces ready to be donated to the Opp Shop...</span></span></div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">But here's one of the success stories.</span></span><br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">A chunky art glass goblet, the trader said, with GBC 1979 engraved on the base. No other clues as to its origin or the identity of the maker. The auction was set for bidding to start at $20, with no reserve price.</span> </span></div>

There was a photo, which had hints of NZ glass - Keith Mahy seemed a possibility, but he clearly wasn't 'GBC'. The photo wasn't as clear as this one, which I took once the piece arrived, but it was good enough to encourage me to bid. So I did. There was no interest from anyone else, so my opening bid of $20 was successful.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">Garry
Nash has always been helpful in my NZ glass research (as indeed have
others), and he was involved in the glass scene in 1979, so I thought I'd send him an email
to ask what he thought. A few days later I happened to be in Auckland so I called in to Nash Glass to see if Garry had any thoughts about it. </span><span style="font-size: small;">Talking about it with Garry Nash and his colleague Claire
Bell, Claire said ‘that could be a J, what is John Croucher’s middle name?’
Garry said at once ‘Barry, John Barry Croucher’. </span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">So I am thrilled to be able to add this to my collection. I have several early Crouchers, but this is one of the earliest, and certainly the earliest signed one. The glass is very similar to that used in the decanter I have blogged about before, that was bought at Sunbeam in 1979 but is not signed. (See 'An Early Piece of Sunbeam Glass?' from May 2007). John was unable to be certain which of the early Sunbeams had made the decanter, identifying Danny Keighly, Ken Cooke and himself as possibilities, though he didn't think he had made it. But with the signature, there can be no doubt who made this goblet.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">In 1994, Australian glass visionary Maureen Cahill and coal industry executive Andy Plummer teamed up to establish the (then) Resource Finance Corporation or RFC Glass Prize. It involved an annual monetary prize for a work of glass made by an artist in Australia or New Zealand, with the winning piece being acquired for the Ranamok (formerly RFC) Collection. RFC morphed into Whitehaven Coal, Eureka Corporation and Excel Corporation, and the prize morphed in the Ranamok Prize.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">The first exhibition was held at the Earth Exchange Museum in Sydney in 1995 and now, in 2014, the 20th Exhibition, being held at the Canberra Glassworks before travelling to Sydney and Brisbane, has been announced to be the last. The Ranamok collection of works by the winners will be donated to the Australian National Gallery in Canberra, which will make it accessible on an ongoing basis.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">The Ranamok Prize has provided an opportunity for a veritable Who's Who of Australian and New Zealand glass artists to show their skills and compete for the prize. Some of the entrants have been quite new to glass, keen to see how their work stands up in that environment, while Ranamok has also attracted entries from some of the leading glass artists of both countries.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">The 2014 Ranamok Prize has been awarded to Kathryn Wightman, who teaches at the Glass School in Whanganui. Dr Wightman's 2011 PhD from the University of Sunderland explored </span><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="line-height: 1.4em;"> the
integration of glassmaking and printmaking, with the development of a number of creative glassmaking processes inspired by
printmaking processes, especially related to textiles. Warmest congratulations, Kathryn.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="line-height: 1.4em;"> Kathryn's prize-winning work is a truly remarkable three metre long carpet runner in glass. Kathryn screen-printed coloured glass powders to create a textured carpet pattern. Then, as photos on her <span style="font-size: x-small;">F</span>acebook page show, she walked barefoot along the carpet, leaving footprints in the 'sand' of the glass colours. The 'carpet' was then fused in the kiln to create the resulting glass masterpiece.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">The only New Zealand finalist in the first RFC Prize in 1995 was Kirsten Sach of Glen Eden. In 1992 Kirsten was a student at Carrington Polytechnic, and I was pleased to buy this small cast glass 'Lotus Cup' from an exhibition at 'The Pumphouse' in Takapuna that year. Kirsten's Ranamok entry in 1995 was a much more developed work - you can see it on the very fine and profusely illustrated Ranamok website <a href="http://www.ranamok.com/">http://www.ranamok.com</a>, which features the work of all the Finalists and the Prize winners.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">New Zealand winners at Ranamok have been Emma Camden (1999), David Murray (2003) Evelyn Dunstan (2007), Lisa Walsh (2009), Sue Hawker</span> (2010) and now Kathryn Wightman. </span><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; font-size: small;">I'm delighted that my own collection includes works by </span>all of these except Lisa (must do something about that, Lisa!) </span><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; font-size: small;">even if they are not always quite as grand as the winning pieces. New Zealand Ranamok finalists represented in my collection include Ruth Allen, </span></span><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; font-size: small;">Claudia Borella, </span></span></span></span><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; font-size: small;">Lee Brogan, </span></span>Dominic Burrell, Christine Cathie, Mike Crawford, Keith Grinter, Robyn Irwin, Nicole Lucas, K</span></span>eely McGlynn, </span>Lyndsay Patterson, Lou Pendergrast-Matheson, Rachel Ravenscroft, Carmen Simmonds, Greg Smith, Hoana Stachl. I even have works by Australian finalists Ben Edols and Michael Larwood in my small non-NZ collection. There have been other NZ finalists, of course, but not represented in my collection - I guess I've just developed a shopping list! </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">But I conclude by showing my very own Wightman. You could say I was an 'early adopter' of Kathryn's work in New Zealand. She arrived to take up a position as tutor at the Glass School in Whanganui in May of 2012, and gave a presentation at the NZSAG conference <i>Generate</i> in Whanganui in October 2012, talking about her work printing and creating 'textiles' in glass. I found this fascinating, and struggled to understand just how she did it (I still do, rather). In the associated exhibition of work for sale, Kathryn showed three platters which were some of the last she had made in Sunderland before coming out to New Zealand; I was delighted to be able to buy one of those.</span><br />

<br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; font-size: small;">In my last post about Sue Treanor, I mentioned Elizabeth McClure as Lecturer in Glass at Carrington Polytechnic, UNITEC in the 1990s. Elizabeth is someone whose role in New Zealand glass is perhaps less well known. To my shame I recall giving a talk about glass in the 1980s in New Zealand without mentioning her, when she was in the audience! She was very gracious about it, and we subsequently had a good interview, in the course of which I learned a lot.</span></div>
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; font-size: small;">I first saw Elizabeth's work in March 1994, at an exhibition <i>Little Jewels </i>organised in the James Cook Hotel in Wellington by the regrettably short-lived Arts Marketing Board of Aotearoa (AMBA). I purchased this exquisite scent bottle there. </span><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; font-size: small;">It's small and delicate, only 5.2 cm in diameter, and decorated in enamels. It was made in September 1993 - Elizabeth is meticulous in marking her work detail. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgULDjxqOPAZuXblD_L0xkAPRD_krFAm9jhv1r6-y5Xb_emon8Y-BJkt25sVg5Ed-JAQtid7yF7Hx5uDfzuqFcaM9XQFD6rqhwJ_HuI4S3va2D-774lj40xSdJi8yIDjvcwoyhyphenhyphenMEblo-hx/s1600/McClure+1993+01.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgULDjxqOPAZuXblD_L0xkAPRD_krFAm9jhv1r6-y5Xb_emon8Y-BJkt25sVg5Ed-JAQtid7yF7Hx5uDfzuqFcaM9XQFD6rqhwJ_HuI4S3va2D-774lj40xSdJi8yIDjvcwoyhyphenhyphenMEblo-hx/s1600/McClure+1993+01.JPG" height="640" width="538" /></a></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">The bottle had originally been shown in <i>Making Marks </i>the first solo exhibition of her work after her return to New Zealand, held at the also short-lived Glass Gallery in Ponsonby. The exhibition title aptly references the coloured markings on the pieces.</span></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

Fortunately for me, one of the tiny perfume bottles didn't sell in Auckland, and so formed part of <i>Little Jewels</i> in Wellington.</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Elizabeth
had taken up appointment in September 1993 at Carrington as Lecturer in
Glass. What I didn't realise then, and indeed not until a decade later,
was that this was her second period in New Zealand. </span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; font-size: small;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; font-size: small;">Elizabeth McClure was born in Lanark, Scotland, and qualified in Glass Design at Edinburgh College of Art. She worked for a number of UK glassmakers, ranging from Wedgwood Glass to Michael Harris's Isle of Wight Glass, and also taught glass courses in Sunderland, Dublin and Tokyo. In 1985-6 she taught and worked as a designer of glass in Japan.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; font-size: small;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; font-size: small;">During this period Elizabeth had a number of contacts with New Zealand and New Zealanders, meeting Kiwis in the UK and, through NZSAG, corresponding with several NZ glass artists including Ann Robinson. Elizabeth's </span><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; font-size: small;">sister had come to live in Wellington, and in December 1986 Elizabeth came to visit her. When she arrived, there was a Sunbeam glass
show at the Dowse Art Museum in Lower Hutt. She was impressed by the scale and the
competency of the work, and renewed her contact with Ann Robinson. She went to Auckland, where John Croucher and Ann
met her and showed her the Sunbeam premises, which she loved it. Ann was especially
pleased to meet another woman glass blower, in what was largely a man's field in New Zealand at the time.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; font-size: small;">A number of New Zealand polytechnics had set up craft and design
courses. Only Whanganui had glass
specifically, but if there was a kiln, then work with glass was feasible. Elizabeth had trained and worked in all sorts of
glass media, and was able to turn her hand to almost anything. The Crafts Council sponsored her as a visiting
glass artist. They paid her fare to
Invercargill where she started. Southland paid for her to get to Dunedin,
who paid for her to get to Nelson, and so on.
From Nelson she went to Christchurch, Wellington (which didn’t have a design school), Whanganui,
Hawkes Bay,
Hamilton, Auckland
for a NZSAG workshop, and to Northland, though that one fell through. Elizabeth then based herself in Auckland, using the facilities at Sunbeam, including being able to blow some big pieces - </span><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; font-size: small;">until then her work had been mostly small, because she had access only to small facilities. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; font-size: small;">Klaus Moje at the Canberra School of Glass wanted to reduce
his teaching hours, and Elizabeth was invited to
go to Canberra,
initially for three months, after which she returned to New Zealand.
Klaus asked her back because another staffer left, and what was initially three
months turned into a year, then two and then three. Elizabeth maintained her New Zealand connections - both Ann Robinson and John Croucher went over to
teach courses at ANU, as did Rena Jarosewitsch (for whom see my 2009 blog </span><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; font-size: small;"><a class="gs-title" href="http://newzealandglass.blogspot.com/2009/04/rena-jarosewitsch-continues-to-delight.html" target="_blank">New Zealand Glass: <b>Rena</b> Jarosewitsch Continues to Delight</a>.)</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; font-size: small;">Then in 1993 Elizabeth came back to New Zealand, to be involved in the setting up of the glass course at Carrington, as Lecturer in Glass. For reasons too complex to describe here, things didn't work out and she left Carrington at the beginning of 1995, but in that time she taught and influenced quite a number of New Zealand's present day glass artists. Since then, she has followed a New Zealand-based but wide-ranging career as glass artist and as teacher of glass.</span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; font-size: small;">In 1997, Elizabeth McClure was awarded a three month Fellowship at the Creative Glass Centre in New Jersey. While there, she </span><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; font-size: small;">blew
about 150 'blanks', with a view to cold working these when she returned
to New Zealand. The last 40 or so of those pieces formed the wonderful
solo exhibition 'Seasons of Change' at the Dowse Art Museum that
resulted from her receiving the inaugural Thomas Foundation Glass Award
in 2001. I was delighted to purchase the piece above at that
exhibition. It's 18cm wide. </span><br />

<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">The third piece of Elizabeth's glass in my collection was made in February 2003. 'Marui sculpture #3' shows Elizabeth's ongoing sensitivity to the Japanese aesthetic, as well as her amazing patience in the cold work treatment she frequently gives her surfaces. Perhaps appropriately, it was part of an exhibition at <i>Masterworks</i>' waterfront gallery timed to coincide with the America's Cup races in 2003, entitled <i>Showing Off</i>. It is 5.5cm in diameter.</span></span></div>

<br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">I recently bought this piece of pâte de verre glass on TradeMe. It was made by </span><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Sue Treanor, probably towards the end of the 1990s. Sue exhibited at an exhibition I remember seeing in Parliament in Wellington in 1999, organised by the NZ Society of Artists in Glass as a promotional vehicle, and she also had a show at Avid in Wellington in August 1999.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Sue Treanor enrolled for a diploma in glass at UNITEC in 1994, amongst a group of students who became quite distinguished glass artists. In August 1996 there was an exhibition entitled ‘Maiden glass: UNITEC girlz come out’ at the Glass Arts Gallery in Ponsonby, a regrettably short lived gallery with quite close links to the UNITEC campus at Carrington. As well as Sue Treanor, those exhibiting were Lou Pendergrast, Nicole Lucas, Megan Tidmarsh, Kellee
Cook, and Layla Walter.</span></span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">In 1999, Sue Treanor had a piece selected for exhibition at 'International Expo 2' held in Tampa, Florida by the prestigious Glass Art Society of USA. (Former Aussie, now Whanganui artist, Claudia Borella was also included in that exhibition). I have only a poor image of that piece, from an online catalogue, but I want to include it here because it was entitled 'For Marea', a tribute to Maori glass artist Marea Timoko, who has been a significant influence on several New Zealand artists in </span></span><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">pâte de verre (and other glass forms)</span>. </span><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Marea was </span><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"> brought in to give some specialist workshops by Elizabeth McClure, then was Lecturer in Glass at UNITEC. </span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">It's probably time to explain, to the best of my ability as a non-practitioner, what </span><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">pâte de verre is. Literally 'glass paste' in French, p</span></span><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">â</span></span>te de verre involves making a paste of glass that is applied to the
surface
of a mold, then fired at a relatively low temperature - 'warm' glass. The advantage is that this allows precise placement of particular glass colors in the mold, unlike other
methods of filling the mold, where some shifting of glass from
where it
has been placed prior to firing can take place. </span></span><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Pâ</span></span>te de verre dates back to the ancient Egyptians, but it was revived by a group of French artists in the late nineteenth century who
provided the modern name for this technique. (For the curious, la </span></span><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">pâte is paste, while le </span><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">pâté is what you make from chicken liver and other things).</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Sadly Sue Treanor died in March 2012, so I have not been able to talk with her about her work. However, there is another Sue who makes p</span></span><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"></span></span><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">â</span></span></span></span>te de verre who is very much alive, and living quite close to me in Northland.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Born in Christchurch, Sue Hawker had an international career in journalism and business, but has now settled in Kerikeri (who can blame her for that?) and follows her passion for glass and ceramics. Beginning in 2004, she took applied arts papers at Northland Polytech, and like Sue Treanor was one of a group of students who have become established artists. She also had as a tutor the same Marea Timoko who influenced Sue Treanor.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">There have been a lot of students of glass in New Zealand since the first tertiary course was established in Whanganui in 1989. While some have gone on to make sustainable careers as professional glass artists, many others stop their glass-making once they finish their studies, or after a few years in the 'real world'.</span> A collector of glass like me is always delighted to buy a piece by an 'emerging artist' since that person may go on to a significant career. I have a number of pieces in my collection which are early examples by some of today's 'names' in glass - perhaps that might be the subject for a future blog. But equally, I also have pieces that are one of only a few made by a particular person, who did not carry on in glass. I treasure those as well.</span></div>

Just over 8cm high, it's hardly the greatest piece of glass ever made, though a competent piece for a beginner, with its iridised light brown body and the brown spiral that rises from the base. Because I knew Tony Kuepfer was teaching glass in Whanganui in 1989, I asked him if he recalled the maker. Tony, who is ever helpful in responding to my many enquiries of him, responded saying: </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span lang="EN-GB">This is a much more accomplished piece, simple yet elegant in form and very attractive in its use of two layers of coloured chip. The pontil has come away cleanly, and there are no tool marks. It is signed 'N.Robb Mar 89', so presumably made during term time - Easter perhaps? It's 13cm high.</span></span></span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span lang="EN-GB">Nic apparently didn't continue her career in glass - I've not seen any pieces later than 1989. But she did pursue a career in arts administration, serving as PA to Dowse Art Museum Director Tim Walker in Lower Hutt from 1998 to 2003. I have not been successful in my efforts to contact Nic, though I understand she is probably still based in Wellington.</span></span></span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span lang="EN-GB">As Tony Kuepfer indicated, Nic Robb was part of the first intake of students in glass at the Wanganui Regional Community College, which had been established in 1984. The glass course began in 1989, leading Tony Kuepfer away from his Inglewood studio, to move eventually to take up full-time teaching at Whanganui. The College became Wanganui Regional Polytechnic during the reorganisation of Polytechnic education in the 1990s, before becoming part of the Universal College of Learning (UCOL) in 2002. </span></span></span><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">In 2007 UCOL and the Wanganui District Council entered
into a partnership agreement to secure the future of the school, and in 2008, the District Council established a Private Training
Establishment, the Wanganui Educational Institute, which now
manages the operational activities of the Glass School facility. But that of course was long after Nic Robb had left.</span></span></div>
