Peter Reynolds Glass Artist

Artist Statement

Originally from the north coast of New South Wales, Peter Reynolds commenced his glass blowing career in Margaret River in 1991. Peter Reynolds has spent time travelling and working in the pursuit of his two passions, glass blowing and film making, and has won awards for both. Peter Reynolds began his training with glassblower Kent Le Grande. A year later he continued his training with mentor and master glass artist Alan Fox at Fox Glass Studio. After several years under Alan’s tuition, Peter had the opportunity to travel and work, spending time with Chuck Simpson at Eumundi Glass Studio in Queensland. Continuing to advance his knowledge and skills in glass blowing through the development of his own work, Peter Reynolds is inspired by travel overseas and around Western Australia. Nature in its elemental form is reflected in Peter’s work. He uses time proven techniques to create his bold pieces, which capture a strong sense of place. Peter is currently involved in sharing his passion for glass and technical knowledge with students at Edith Cowan University, whilst he continues to progress his own work.
