Friend/mentor/oft-time critic(!) – you straddled the globe but, hey, your greatest gift was the ability to communicate your extraordinary creative drive, and give impetus, to Everyman.
Whether you were storming the pinnacles of Europe, America and the greater World-at-Large…
…or sharing your vision with the Mayor of Bega…
…at the heart of it all you loved that fickle mistress, Glass. And Glass loved you.
Klausie’s about to mark yet another significant milestone in his long and illustrious career by celebrating his 75th birthday with (as one might expect) an exhibition and masterclass setting his signature tone.
Last Friday the Gang and BVSC Mayor Tony Allen were given a preview by the Maestro himself, just prior to the work being shipped off to Canberra…
The exhibition opens this coming Wednesday evening at the Glassworks in Kingston.
More goodies in from Klaus…
…the new installation at the Kaplan/Ostergaard Glass Center at the Palm Springs Art Museum…
Fantastic schnapps! Have to say that mobile phone-mail technology is quite fantastic. We might have to get us one of them thar i-phone jobbies.
Thanks Klaus! The work looks stunning. See ya when you get back. ♥

Radio National’s Artworks ran a feature on Klausie last Sunday – those who missed it can catch up with all the action here.
There’s a whole suite of goodies – from radio to video to picture gallery – produced by Bill Brown…
