About the Artist

Contact Information

Kim Cottrell is an emerging glass artist, originally training as a commercial photographer.

He is using the art knowledge attained during his photography Diploma course to create vessels and sculptures that engage with the viewer and push the boundaries of glass fusing and kiln forming.

Kim is currently experimenting with different processes such as reactive glass, kiln pressing and partially fusing glass so it retains its inherent shape and therefore helps create a 3D illusion from a flat glass plaque.

He finds great joy in making glass art and can lose himself in designing and assembling the glass to go in the kiln, and then the excitement when the firing is completed to see how the heat has transformed  the glass.

Inspiration from artists such as Piet Mondrian, Andy Warhol and Claude Monet can be seen with some of the vessels and sculptures recently created.

He is a member of Ausglass and also Mandurah Arts & Craft Society.
