Alison Lowe

Working from a background of landscapes, life drawing, portraiture, abstraction, and collage, Alison operates from a studio in Sumner, Christchurch.

The latest venture is into fused glass .... a whole new world of excitement. Designing, cutting, cooking, and refining the glass fused piece requires a whole new approach on using this amazing medium.

The onsite glass kiln is now working full time and the magic happens overnight after at least 12 hours with a top temperature of 820 degrees Celsius. That’s seriously hot .... the carefully cut and arranged glass pieces melt and become a sculpture in low relief or a ‘painting with glass’.
