Lisa Bate

Lisa Bate's glass batteries

Lisa Bate Studio

Lisa creates contemporary art sculptures which are predominantly made using kiln cast glass and mixed media. 

Specialising in kiln cast glass, Lisa’s practice focuses on the lost wax casting technique. This process involves making master moulds, often made from a found object, then uses the wax forms to construct her works which become glass after the kiln firing.

Sculptures are often made in a series, cast glass art works explore repetition of form using deconstruction and reconstruction methods. Interested in kinetics, producing sculptural works that can move or are interchangeable. All sculptures are original and one-off with a limited edition of smaller glass objects.

Her sculptural glass art works have received multiple awards of critical recognition.

Studio visits are always welcome by appointment, please make contact to arrange a time.

Evelyn Dunstan

Coming from an arts background, Evelyn found her niche with lost-wax kiln casting in 2003, and has since explored the qualities of crystal glass, modifying materials, techniques and methods that allows her to cast fine detail and control colour placement, taking advantage of the creative freedom for conceptual vision and innovation that the lost wax process encourages. She has exhibited and taught widely overseas. A passion for her surrounding environment with a strong focus on ecological concerns influence a methodology throughout her work and making process, while challenging what is physically possible creating in glass.

 Studio visits by appointment are welcome.

Gallery 61

Gallery 61 – Carolyn Watts

A yearning to come home to Auckland, and an understanding husband, has enabled me to open my studio/gallery – Gallery 61. I paint in oils, the depth and richness highlighting the beauty of Aotearoa. My varied work is held in collections throughout New Zealand and overseas. 18 months ago I opened my studio/gallery to a small group of local artists. I hope to include the talented work of this little group in my gallery during this year’s art trail. I am also an author and illustrator of children’s books. My books are in English and Te Reo and I will be signing them in my gallery.

The gallery has one of a kind art and metal sculptures made from repurposed materials. All pieces are made with a variety of weird and wonderful objects. My creations started life as household items like kitchen utensils or everyday objects we tend to throw away. My sculptures have been crafted into interesting forms that would look good in any home.
