Hi! I'm a Melbourne glassblower operating a purpose-built studio in West Footscray, as well as a glass tableware and lighting company called Studio Dokola.
As glassblowing educator, I've racked up 10 years of experience guiding new and experienced students through a carefully constructed curriculum, both here in Australia and across Central Europe.
Akin to sculpting hot honey, glassblowing is guaranteed to satisfy your curiosity! I remember the intense excitement I experienced as a newcomer to the medium and love connecting with students who approach the craft with their own perspective and style.
Billy Crellin and Studio Dokola feature on Broadsheet, Craft, National Science Week and artisanal design websites around the country.
