‘Repetition … is like a musician playing scales.’, Benjamin Edols, 2006
Benjamin Edols and Kathy Elliott run a successful glass studio at Brookvale, near Sydney’s northern beaches. They have been working together since 1992 and are known for their blown and carved glass forms.
Most of their works are one-off pieces for exhibition. Benjamin Edols’ skills as a glassblower include a repertoire of Venetian techniques. Kathy Elliott’s cold-working techniques, applied later to the blown forms, include grinding, wheel cutting and engraving.
Edols and Elliott also value the skills of production. Over the years they have consistently made production series of bowls, bottles and goblets. Now they are discussing with Steuben Glass, USA, the possibility that some of their work may be mass-produced.
You can see the work of Edols and Elliott in the new exhibition Smart works: design and the handmade, until 4 November 2007 at the Powerhouse Museum.
