Madeline Prowd

Madeline is an early career glass artist, currently working out of Adelaide, Australia.

Studying under Richard Whiteley and Nadege Desgenetez, she received a Bachelor of Visual Arts from the Australian National University in 2009. Then relocated to Adelaide for the Associate Training Program in the Glass Studio at JamFactory.

Madeline is currently employed as Studio Technician in the Glass Department at JamFactory.

Madeline is heavily influenced by traditional Italian glassblowing techniques and the technical proficiency inherent in the process of making. She strives to make work that incorporates an element of the handmade. Her current work explores pattern, repetition and density of simple linework while simultaneously highlighting the optical qualities of blown glass.

Madeline has undertaken residencies at Canberra Glassworks, Berlin Glas e.V. and The Glass Factory in Boda, Sweden.

Madeline has travelled extensively, undertaking teaching assistant roles through USA for artists Clare Belfrage, Nancy Callan, Brian Corr and Ben Edols. Madeline was Craftsperson in Residence at Pilchuck Glass School in 2017 and 2019 and was invited to be an instructor in June 2018.

Prowd had her first solo exhibition Refract, Reflect at JamFactory in 2018 and exhibited in Distorted Trajectories at Craft ACT in Feb 2020. Prowd was a selected finalist in the Klaus Moje Glass Award in 2019 and the Fuse Glass Prize in 2020.
