Fish

For Lucas Salton it all started at a dinner party 20 years ago, when he learned of a glass-blowing apprenticeship on the Sunshine Coast. This was the beginning of his long and loving relationship with glass which now finds him travelling the world to work with other masters of the medium.

"Glass is alchemic. You mix dirt together, burn it with fire at about 1300°C, which makes it clear and molten, you control it with water, wood, air and steel and never completely master it. I love it," says Lucas when asked about his choice of material.

Lucas' Glass Fish are incredibly detailed with the coloured 'scales' sitting within the clear outer glass. They come alive when sunlight plays across them, seeming to be lit from within, bringing the colours to the fore and making each piece even more striking.
