Kristel Britcher
I am an Adelaide-based glass artist and designer and love what I do. Based at JamFactory Contemporary Craft and Design her in Adelaide, I produce glass products for wholesale, bespoke design-ware and exhibition pieces. My art practice explores the notions of space, landscape and the natural order of things through sculptural applications of hot glass; while my design practice explores alternative processes to create innovative glass products. I enjoy the process of glass blowing and the sculptural potential it holds.
I graduated with first class Honours from the South Australian School of Art in 2007. Since graduation I have exhibited throughout South Australia and interstate, including the Ranamok Glass Prize, Object Gallery's Annual Manual, and was selected to exhibit at Hatched 08 National Graduate Exhibition at the Perth Institute of Contemporary Art in 2008. I was the recipient of the 2010 Fleurieu Youth Scholarship Prize and the Carclew Youth Arts Ruth Tuck Scholarship in 2012. I completed the JamFactory Associate program in 2011 and I am currently the Program Manager in the JamFactory glass studio.
