Studio Dokola

Billy Crellin is the founder of Melbourne glassblowing Studio Dokola. His work sits somewhere between historical reference and material speculation.

They are interested in glass as a material that was once used to imitate precious stones, and how its value and meaning has shifted over time. The forms often reference early glassmaking techniques or natural processes — molten, geological, or eroded states — while also questioning what glass might become in the future.
