We are proud to present this vibrant exhibition with examples of woven glass work Tessuto di Vetro - Glass Fabric. A reference to the origin of the material, Venice Italy.

Awatea - Shop Front Gallery
Opening event - Sunday 9 February, 11 - 1pm. All welcome.
Dermot has an incredible pedigree when it comes to his artistic career. He has predominantly worked with glass since learning how to retore stained glass using the leadlight process at Creative Stained Glass in Perth in the mid-late 80's. His thirst for artistic direction took him into bronze casting, life drawing, harakeke weaving, ceramics, glass etching, glass design and studying for a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree at Elam (Auckland University) 2010 - 2012.

He has exhibited in dozens of group and solo shows over that time, mostly in Auckland, Northland and in more recent years in the Waikato. He currently has two wonderful pieces showing at Waitakaruru Sculpture Park. He created public and private commissioned pieces far and wide.

We are very excited to have Dermot present this show of mostly new works within our new window front gallery. We hope that you can come along to the combined opening with Larry Abreno's Coffee Art show and the 7 Artists show, Now and Then. The opening is to be held on February 9th from 11am, though the exhibitions will be open to the public from the 4th of February.

There is no registration required for the opening, and we have no entry fees, all are welcome. Please sign up for our newsletter to receive up-to-date info about all of our shows, past, present and upcoming.
