Robyn Campbell works in both glass and ceramics. She studied Glass at the Canberra School of Art, Australian National University, under the tuition of Klaus Moje, Stephen Proctor and Elizabeth McClure. After graduating in 1993, Robyn established a studio in Canberra and exhibited widely, both nationally and internationally. She was commissioned to create public artworks, taught part-time at the Australian National University and contributed to the arts community in a variety of roles. A three month fellowship at the Creative Glass Centre of America in 1995 gave Robyn the opportunity to focus on casting sculptures on a larger scale direct from a glass furnace. This time was formative and underpinned the development of her work over the following years. Through demands from her personal life, Robyn moved away from her arts practice after 2000. During this time she completed an Advanced Diploma in Building design and spent some years working in the building industry. From 2013 Robyn has returned to making, developing and refining her skills in sculpture using mainly ceramics and glass. She has returned to showing her work regularly in both solo and group exhibitions.
