For Lucas Salton it all started at a dinner party 20 years ago, when he learned of a glassblowing apprenticeship on the Sunshine Coast. This was the beginning of his long and loving relationship with glass which now finds him travelling the world to work with other masters of the medium. “Glass is alchemic. You mix dirt together, burn it with fire at about 1300°C, which makes it clear and molten, you control it with water, wood, air and steel and never completely master it. I love it,” says Lucas when asked about his choice of material.
As a boy he was fascinated by glass and all things shiny and started making small glass animals by sticking broken windscreen glass together he collected from the side of the road with his sister, Larissa. These days, his gallery behind the Imperial Hotel in the main street of Eumundi, is filled a spectacular array of colourful glass including elegant triffids and striking totems which have fast become his signature pieces.

Over the years Jean and June Pastore have developed and perfected their skills in mixed media, currently creating paintings and murals in glass. Due to the fact that readymade glass is limited in colour and effects, they developed their own techniques of colouring glass, enabling them to create a totally unique art form, emphasising colour pattern designs and tonal values.Cutting different shapes and sizes to create a picture with colour and shading, which resembles brush strokes, creating a painting in a different style, their invention has created a huge interest in their work. They really enjoy breaking new ground and finding wider scopes and challenges for their designs, recently incorporating metal and other media into their art work has been a huge success.

“The long forgotten, thoughts, feelings & impressions that come from our experiences in life, which are concealed within the depths of memory, revealed on canvas through, form, colour & movement.I have had an on going wonder of the ever changing oceans & skies above us, the depths of which I can only find unfathomable, much like the depths of mind. It is through the medium of painting that I can capture mere glimpses. I hope you enjoy them.” Sally Smith
