Exhibition: Blowing In A New Era
Blowing in a New Era: Three Generations, One Family
Step into the captivating world of glass art with Blowing in a New Era, a landmark exhibition at McClelland Gallery + Sculpture Park. Showcasing the legacy of the Gordon Studio Glassblowers, this special event brings together the creativity of three generations from one extraordinary family.
With works by seven talented engravers and glassblowers, the exhibition offers a rare glimpse into the evolution of studio glass through time—highlighting patience, precision, and passion passed down through decades. Discover how this dynamic family continues to shape contemporary glassmaking and celebrate the lasting role of glass in modern artisan practice.
Gordon Studio Book + Exhibition Launch
It's with enormous pride that we announce the launch of our family book; Blowing In A New Era: Three Generations, One Family.
The book tells the story of our family’s place in global glass art; from a 10-year-old Alasdair Gordon, standing in a classroom at Edinburgh College of Art in 1941, to meeting his life partner Rish Roddan while specialising in glass engraving in 1954; to their grandsons Hamish and Calum Donaldson both winning art prizes in 2025, the book maps beautiful skill and modern craft against the backdrop of an ancient art.
McClelland Gallery + Sculpture Park in Langwarrin are hosting a month-long exhibition to celebrate the book and showcase more than 100 pieces, including artwork from a recent residency at Poatina Arts in Tasmania; inspired by our family's 84-year love affair with glass.
