Description
Discover, Create and Experience the World of Glass in Esperance, Western Australia.
Visitors to Esperance should not miss a visit to Cindy Poole Glass Artist– 'Gallery Experience,' Stop at this local and sustainability-focused eco-tourist attraction that celebrates Esperance's stunning beauty on your drive around the Great Ocean Drive—or take the 5-minute drive from town. Creative design and authentic craftsmanship converge within layers of glass to embody and celebrate the stunning natural beauty of the Western Australian environment and pay homage to nature, offering a unique way to see the world through glass.
Discover the techniques and backstories of the diverse range of kiln-formed art glass and recycled glass products- including public artworks, wearable art, sculpture, contemporary jewellery and stunning décor by a single glass artist in Australia. Embrace the innovative approach to sustainability solutions, zero waste, and the circular economy and reimagine the value and scope of product use associated with upcycled and recycled glass bottle waste
Cindy and her Creative Team have taken the studio (Est 1995), work-shop and their talents out of the traditional gallery format to present a new integrated retail, educational, and experiential curated space. The nominal first-time 'Experience' entry will allow a leisurely browse of the stunning pieces of stylish glassware, jewellery and home decor crafted and designed on-site using art glass and glass bottle waste as the raw material. Gain a deeper understanding of the transformative nature of glass and its endlessly recyclable and aesthetic attributes. Enjoy the luxury of high-quality, beautiful souvenirs, office, home and personalised gift options whilst supporting sustainable design and Australian-Made. Book a ‘Discover’ or Discover & Ceate’ personalised tour to gain behind-the-scenes work-shop access and hands-on experience to make an Esperance memento.
