A chat with Tim Shaw, Glass Artist

“ I tend to create both through inspiration and intuition.
Sometimes it’s a long and arduous process to even get the glass to do what I want it to do – and it’s ultimately in the hands of the glass gods really. I think that’s what I love about it the most though…” Tim Shaw
“Born in Cyprus and raised in Yorkshire, Tim has explored his artistic practice and glassmaking skills throughout the world. He has three degrees in glassblowing. Attaining his BA (Hons) from North Staffordshire Polytechnic in the UK in the early 80’s, he went on to study at the avant-garde Gerrit Rietveld Academie in Amsterdam, where he continued to develop and experiment creating a unique style of art glass. Upon his return to the UK Tim established a hot glass workshop in London. Whilst there he was invited to undertake his second MA at the prestigious Royal College of Art in London.
Moving permanently to Australia in 2002, Tim is currently based with his family and hot glass studio nestled in the stringy bark forests of the Adelaide Hills.

“Tim has so much positive energy and love for what he describes as “liquid fire” being glass. So much fun to able to do a podcast as Tim was creating a drinking glass from the beginning to the end process and I even got to be an assistant for part of it. I loved describing the process on the podcast and hope that listeners get as excited about the experience as I did. Tim’s glass art is so rich in colour and enticing designs, you just can’t help feel good when you see the range of Tim Shaw Glass much like when you meet Tim himself!.”
