German-born artist Klaus Moje was a revolutionary maker, best known as the founder of the Australian National University’s Glass Workshop and, later, Canberra Glassworks.
Moje died on the weekend – just a few weeks shy of his 80th birthday – after a prolonged illness. He was considered a legend not only within the Australian glass scene, but internationally. His art was central to making Canberra Australia’s glass centre and putting Australia on the international map.
