Not quite right Frank.  Eileen is the daughter of Alisdair & Rish Gordon who live & work in Perth, as does their talented son Kevin.

At the time this was originally put up I think that she was still working in Rosebud a suburb of Melbourne on the bay.  At or about this time she mover to Red Hill a little further inland and a little closer to Melbourne.  She is married to Grant Donaldson (an ex farmer turned glass artist) and they have children - one of whom, Hamish I have already bought a pwt from.

Grant signs his pieces "Grant Donaldson" or "G Donaldson" - he mainly makes large pieces.
Eileen signs hers "Eileen Gordon" or "EG"
Hamish signed his as "H Donaldson"

In addition they have always had production Pwts and other smaller items signed "GS" which means they were intended as production items and may have been made by anyone at the studio including such well known assistants as Nadia Mercuri (herself a well respected artist who assisted the day I had a go at making some pwts).

I have examples of all of the Gordon family as well as of Grant & Hamish Donaldson.
