McClelland presents
Blowing in a New Era:
Three Generations, One Family

Exhibition launch Saturday 5 July 2025

We are honoured to host the launch of Blowing in a New Era: Three Generations, One Family—a powerful tribute to the Gordon-Donaldson family's legacy in global glass art. From Alasdair Gordon’s first steps into the Edinburgh College of Art in 1941 to the award-winning works of grandsons Hamish and Calum Donaldson in 2025, this story is one of passion, precision, and generational artistry.

Join us from Saturday 5 July exhibition featuring over 100 works, including pieces from the family’s recent residency at Poatina Arts, Tasmania.

The launch event on Saturday 5 July will include a special address by Scott Chaseling, with the family in attendance, signed books, and artwork available for purchase.

Don’t miss the Artists’ Talk with Hamish and Calum on Saturday 19 July at 2pm.
