Aybike Orhan (Aybike Orhan Glass) & Simi Eliott
Aybike Orhan Eris is a glass artist and instructor. She began her journey with glass in 2011 when she started studying in the Glass Department at Anadolu University, Faculty of Fine Arts in Turkey — and since then, glass has become the heart of her creative life.
From 2016 to 2024, she ran my own studio in Turkey, where she worked with Italian Murano (soft) glass and taught many students how to make glass beads and shape glass in the flame (lampworking). She is currently based in Sydney, continuing her own creative practice.For Aybike, working with glass is more than just art — it’s a form of meditation. In her workshops, she loves guiding people through this magical process and helping them create something beautiful with their own hands.
Your host
Mark Eliott is a contemporary artist working primarily in flame-worked glass and also incorporating a variety of media such as music, stop-motion animation and wood carving. Mark completed a Master of visual arts and Master of Studio Arts at Sydney College of the Arts, as well as an Associate Diploma in Jazz Studies (Saxophone) at the Sydney Conservatorium of Music.Collaborations with other artists are also a feature of Mark's work, for example the stop-motion animation project with Jack McGrath for which they coined the term Flame-ation (flame-glass animation). This work aims to bring glass to life by presenting the object together with animation, and sometimes, live performance.Mark teaches flame-work and provides interactive demonstrations. He has exhibited internationally and has a strong interest in environmental issues.
