Matthew Farrell is a hot glass artist working in both borisilicate and soft glass.

He creates works in glass that are the result of an intense exploration of the contemporary possibilities and expressive potential of this fascinating and ancient medium.

One of Australia’s premiere young glass artists, Matthew is able to bring a fresh and unique perspective to his work through experience gained in both flame-worked and furnace-worked glass. A professional lampworker since 2000, Matthew has benefited from close creative associations with two of Australia’s most celebrated glass artists, Colin Heaney and Noel Hart and is a regular contributing artist at Kirra Galleries’ ‘Glass on Flame’ exhibition, the annual showcase of Australia’s finest lampworking artists.

In 2007 Matthew further expanded his creative possibilities through the purchase of Heaney’s glass blowing studio located at Byron Bay on the beautiful North Coast of NSW, where visitors are always warmly invited to browse the gallery and view the glass-working process. Here Matthew works with a small team of highly skilled glass craftsmen to create his stunning and distinctive pieces.

Matthew welcomes comissioned works of all sorts
and can be seen working at his studio in 6 Acacia St byron Bay.
