Hi! I'm a Melbourne glassblower operating a newly built studio in West Footscray and a glass tableware and lighting company - Studio Dokola. As an educator of glassblowing I've racked up 10 years of experience guiding new and experienced students to a carefully constructed curriculum and have taught Australia wide and across Central Europe.
I guarantee a glassblowing class won't dissapoint to satisfy your curiosity with this unique medium akin to sculpting hot honey. I remember the intense excitement being new to the medium can bring and I love to connect with new student's fresh sense of approach to the medium.
