About the Maker: Annette Blair is a glass-maker based near Canberra, Australia. Working out of the Canberra Glassworks as well as her home studio in Burra NSW, she is a maker who has dedicated her 24 year practice to refining technical processes in order to make beautifully crafted objects and create one-off artworks for exhibition. With a broad skill-set, she also works regularly as a gaffer; fabricating glass works for other high-profile artists as well as traveling to teach glassblowing and glass painting nationally and internationally.
Completing her honours degree in 2004 at the Australian National University, Canberra School of Art, Annette then relocated to Adelaide where she completed the hot-glass associate training program at Jam Factory contemporary craft and design centre. Returning to Canberra in 2008 she works with a talented team of glassblowers and continues to grow her diverse practice.
