Glass Blowing Studio and Art Gallery |
Colin Heaney's glass blowing studio is located in Byron Bay, on the sub-tropical far north coast of New South Wales in Australia. Geographically, Byron Bay is at the eastern-most point of mainland Australia. It is a relatively small town, boosted at times by holiday makers from around the world looking for perfect beaches, a rain forested hinterland, and an engaging counter-culture that has been settling in the area since the early 1970's. Located in the Byron Bay's "arts and industry estate" in reference to the many creative artists and crafts people who now share the estate with the surfboard manufacturers, interior designer shops and service industries. Colin Heaney was the first artist to move into the estate, taking over a surfboard factory in the mid 1980's. With Colin Heaney's creative process based around glassblowing, the studio is set up to enable visitors to watch Colin Heaney and his team working, as well as view the latest artworks exhibited in the gallery attached. A ‘must see’ destination for locals and visitors alike. |
