Collection: Robert Wynne

Robert was born in Yarram, a rural town in Victoria in Australia’s south. He commenced his artistic career studying ceramics. Whilst studying for his final year he met visiting glass artist, Nick Mount, who had recently established a studio within Monash University.

The dynamic process of glass blowing immediately captivated Robert. Not only was the visual splendour deeply pleasing, he relished the choreography in glass blowing, and particularly the immediacy and risk that the material demanded. Robert worked with Mount in those heady, pioneering days and carries with him many of the lessons he learned from Nick.

Rob went on to complete a Masters Degree in Glass at the California State University and gained invaluable experience exhibiting, visiting private glass studios and learning from the burgeoning studio glass movement in the USA.

Robert’s work is featured in galleries around Australia and the world; in prominent public and private collections including the new Parliament House in Canberra, the Powerhouse Museum in Sydney and the private collections of President Bill Clinton and Sir Elton John among others.

Each piece of hand-blown glass represents an investment of years, of deeply rooted hopes and dreams, and a huge amount of skill. Each piece of glass is an unrepeatable moment in frozen time shaped into a gorgeous body of light, weight and colour.
