Dominic O' Leary has been creating glass pieces using kiln-forming, the oldest form
of glass work, for the last thirty years. Dominic forged a successful career, placing and
selling his work in galleries and designer stores in Melbourne, Geelong and the Surf Coast.
Four or five years ago Dominic decided to delve into the use of art glass, which comes in a
broad palate of colour. Prior to this he had worked in clear float glass, adding all colour and
texture himself. The new range, imported from the USA and Mexico is a mix of vibrant
translucent and opalescent hand-made glasses. On the creative side, these new art glasses
have awakened the design aspect of the work. In much of his work, Dominic attempts to
incorporate his love of the Art-Deco period in colour and pattern.
