Peter Minson has been working with glass for more than forty years. He managed a family glass blowing business making scientific glassware,  including calibrated apparatus. He then set out to establish his own business making creative glass.

 

He studied this area in Sweden at the Orrefors Glass School and in Kosta Boda Glass before returning home to continue this line of work in South Australia.

 

Subsequently, he set up a studio in Binalong 20 years ago concentrating on Lamp work as his main area of interest. He studied for 3 years in the Canberra School of Art and have been invited back to set up and teach Lampworking courses to the students and to conduct workshops.

 

He was invited to set up the Lampworking Department, RMIT University Melbourne, and to teach the beginners course.

 

He also assisted in setting up the Lampworking department in Sydney School of Art and co-taught the Lampwork course preceding the Ausglass Conference in 1997.

 

Peter Minson has assisted many to set up their own workshop and keep in touch as he see them successfully establish their own thriving workshops,  enjoying the excitement and satisfaction in being creative with Lampworking.
