Peter Bowles

Peter Bowles received an MA from Curtin University and has lectured and taught at numerous institutions throughout the world including the Alberta College of Art and Design, Canada, The China Academy of Art, Hangzhou, China and BGC Glass Studio, Bangkok, Thailand.

He is a quiet maker and a passionate teacher whose work spans studio production, exhibition work, public art and a somewhat more private sculptural practice. He has garnered an international reputation for his technical mastery and inventive approach to the craft of object-making.

He has been a finalist in all the major Australian glass prizes including the Tom Malone Prize (this being the forth time), Ranamok Glass Prize, Juta Cuny Franz Award and the City of Hobart Art Prize for glass. He has served on numerous boards and peer review panels including the Dept of Cultural affairs, (WA), Ausglass, Arts Tasmania and has been a member of the Australia Council Visual Arts Board.

When not engaged overseas, he works from his studio Glass Manifesto with his partner Anne Clifton in Northern Tasmania.
