In the Studio

Brian Corr

Brian's work has been shown in numerous exhibitions, and has twice been included in New Glass Review , an international publication exhibiting the 100 most innovative works of the year. In April of 2008, the National Gallery of Glass in Wagga Wagga will host an exhibition of his work. His exhibition works are intended to offer an opportunity for contemplative or meditative experience, with the hope that this interaction may lead to a heightened awareness of oneself and the nature of the world in which one is immersed. Brian also produces several lines of design-based objects. Within these works, grace, light and motion blend seamlessly into new expressions of function.

Originally from Colorado , Brian Corr began working with glass in 1995. Over the past twelve years, he has studied with several of the great living masters, and has worked, demonstrated and taught in studios and institutions across America and internationally, including Australia , Japan and Scotland . Prior to moving to Australia , Brian served as a glassblower and instructor at the prestigious Corning Museum of Glass in New York . Arriving in Canberra in 2005, Brian recently received his MFA from the Glass Workshop of the Australian National University .
