 :smg: Hi Michelle just another to add to the pot- picked up a trip or three ago when he first started his what I would call his Venus and Adonis range-ladies have all the requisite bits and the gentlemen have ALL theirs. This was  a potential second as it slumped on annealing, hence the Venus title and I bullied him into selling it to me. Did vases etc. Enjoy

ahremck:
I have about 6 items of his mainly in a semi irridescent style like the Venus.  A paperweight, 3 vases and two oil lamps.  I am posting two of the vases.

A very interesting bit has just shown up on Ebay here see

He is very successful and has been training artists for some years now.

Next time I'm down there at Margaret River I'll tell him how far his glass has travelled :hiclp: Have visited his studio several times and watched him in action

I have three of his variously sized paperweights, and some novelties - glass chillies, starfish etc that he churns out by the thousands for the tourists (and me  ;D)  but bought this little vase recently at a collectors fair, which is dated 89, so pre his Melting Pot studio. Lovely colour - it is a real "cherry" red with dark blue spots.
Signature is particularly clear if you need any more for the signature collection.
