Here's another group of New Zealand glass artists, taken ten years on from the NZSAG Inglewood conference photos I posted recently. Peter Viesnik mentioned the photo in an email discussing the Inglewood blog. Entitled 'Garry and team 1993', the image is on Garry Nash's website at
http://www.garrynash.co.nz/crew93.htm. I have viewed it there a number of times, and Garry kindly gave me a digital copy a couple of years ago. But I was intrigued to realise that although Garry is easy to identify, punty in hand with a piece at the marver, I wasn't sure who any of the others might be. Some looked a little familiar, but it was nineteen years ago, and I couldn't be certain.

From left, this group of workers at Garry Nash's Sunbeam Glass studio in 1993 were: John Penman, Judy from Sweden (note the Orrefors T-shirt), Stephen Bradbourne, Garry Nash, Lynette Campbell, Hoana Stachl holding a piece of glass, John a visiting house painter (do you know where Garry's ladder is?) and Dong Ju Shin from Korea.

Peter started me with some names, and that led on to an email exchange with several people - I am grateful for their help to Stephen Bradbourne, Garry Nash, Anna Palmer, John Penman and Peter Viesnik. That has enabled me to identify everyone, with varying degrees of accuracy. However, I accept full responsibility for the result, and would be grateful for any corrections or additions. I don't know who the photographer was, hence the lack of credit (sorry).
From my collection here are some examples of the New Zealand artists' work:
 |
| John Penman 1997 |
 |
| Hoana Stachl 1999 |
 |
| Lyn Campbell 1996 |
 |
| Stephen Bradbourne 1998 |
 |
| Garry Nash 1992 |
I have a number of pieces by Garry Nash, but I chose to include this glass because there is a photo of Garry making a glass like this one, probably at the same photo session (same shirt!)
