About the Item
glass treasury, volume IX no. 13, smoky gray with a wooden lid
Drago is a sculptural glassware that explores the concept of a treasury — the power of a container object to reflect the value of personally precious natural ingredients or material entities from the places dear to one’s heart.
The name drago summons the image of a dragon. After all, the making process is a captivating play of three elements: fire, wood, and glass.
The project is inspired by the form-making of nature. A series of experiments lead to an enhanced natural metamorphosis of the shape. While burning during the glassblowing process, the wooden mould changes continuously, resulting in a unique form and surface of each piece.
Hand-crafted in Finland.
Material: glass (lead-free crystal) and alder wood (up-cycled). Wood working and mould making, glass hot work and cold work: by the designer herself. Hot work, mouth blowing into a wooden mould: by the glass master. Moulds for glassblowing are made out of up-cycled local timber. The wood for the moulds is consciously selected by the designer to achieve a variety of structures. Hand-drawn shapes transformed with digital graphic tools and produced with industrial CNC machine.The shapes of the wooden lids are first hand-drawn, then fine-tuned in vector curves that are next transformed into 3D shapes and milled with a CNC machine from scrap wood material left after making glass moulds, and finally sanded and coated with beeswax. Each wooden lid is a unique pair to each unique glass piece, no shape is the same.

- Masterpiece Contemporary Australian Blown and Carved Glass Sculpture VaseBy Benjamin Edols & Kathy ElliottLocated in Surfside, FLProvenance: Part of an important collection that had work Both Benjamin Edols and Kathy Elliott were born in Sydney. The two began working together as recent graduates from the Canberra School of Art. Ben also studied at the Royal College of Arts in Sydney. The first exhibition of their collaborative work was in 1993. Since that time they have developed a body of work of blown and cold worked glass vessels and forms. Ben specialises in glassblowing and Kathy specialises in cold working techniques such as carving and engraving. In 2000 they built their own glassblowing and cold working studio in Sydney. In recent years, their work has been inspired by the botanical forms and patterns found in nature. One of the qualities of glass that they most appreciate is its ability to carry light. They have taught in Australia, America and Japan. Their work has been exhibited widely and is held in many public museums and private collections around the world including the Victoria and Albert Museum, the American Craft Museum, the National Gallery of Australia and the Auckland War Memorial Museum.
