Artist Talk with Hamish and Calum Donaldson

Saturday 19 July 2025

Hamish and Calum Donaldson, sons of glass artists Grant and Eileen Donaldson, are emerging talents in the Australian glassblowing scene. Hamish, the eldest, brings a global perspective to his craft, having trained at the JAM Factory and worked internationally after growing up immersed in the family studio. His passion was reignited after travels through South America, leading him to explore glass art across Turkey, the USA, and beyond. Calum, equally inspired, blends his love for snowboarding with a creative flair for functional glassware. Also a JAM Factory graduate, he is known for his innovative thinking and dedication to timeless design, continuing the family legacy with a fresh, dynamic voice.

This is a free event, RSVPs essential.
