• Anne and Peter’s pieces are the result of combining their two crafts
• Their work involves multiple techniques such as lampworking, glassblowing and latticino
• Experimentation with the chemistry of glass is key to both their practices

Anne Clifton and Peter Bowles create glass works with traces of ceramics in an old, romantic workshop. The couple met in Perth, where Anne studied ceramics and Peter worked in glass. "We joined our practices to form our studio, Glass Manifesto. Each of us pursues a distinct craft while supporting the other," they say. Peter's dense, zen-like forms reflect his quiet strength and stillness, while Anne's works draw on her training in ceramics and interiors, expressing the vigour palpable in her energy. Influenced by Tasmania and working directly with its pure sands, Anne and Peter's works pieces could not be made but on this island. In collaborating, making becomes a dance, a template for creating a successful art practice and life filled with love.
