About me

Ms Gabriella Bisetto

Welcome to the home page of Gabriella Bisetto, Head of the Glass Workshop at the South Australian School of Art, Art Architecture and Design , University of South Australia.

These skills equip   students with the necessary knowledge of how to work as professional emerging artists in the field of glass ,or, if they are not specialising in glass, how they can intergrate the materiality of glass into their major studies such  jewellery, sculpture, printing,ceramics, photography, painting, product design or architecture.

About me

Welcome to the home page of Gabriella Bisetto, Head of the Glass Workshop at the South Australian School of Art, Art Architecture and Design , University of South Australia.

In the glass workshop I teach the processes of glassblowing, kiln forming, glass casting and coldworking processes. These skills equip   students with the necessary knowledge of how to work as professional emerging artists in the field of glass ,or, if they are not specialising in glass, how they can intergrate the materiality of glass into their major studies such  jewellery, sculpture, printing,ceramics, photography, painting, product design or architecture.

In 2016 I was excited to be awarded the Tom Malone Prize, a national acquisative  glass prize. My work 'becoming' is now part of the national collection at the Art Gallery of Western Australia.  

In 2015 I was invited with Christopher Boha  to teach the first glassblowing course offered through a university in China at the Chinese Academy of Art in Honghouz. China is an amazing country and the students dedicated and fun. It was a great experience.

In 2013 I had an amazing opportunity to be invited to undertake a residency at the Museum of Glass in Tacoma, USA. To see a short promotional video for the residency you can go to:Tacoma

In 2013 I  also taqught a  glassblowing class to 12 exciting emerging glass artists at Pilchuck- an internationally renowned glass summer school just out of Seattle in the USA.

The Glass workshop is fortunate to be in partnership with Pilchuck Glass School in the USA. Every year a UniSA students travels to the USA to participate in a masterclass Pilchuck on a half scholarship.For more information Pilchuck website
