Art by Matt Burgess, a graduate of the University of South Australia glass program
When Gabriella Bisetto studied glass, her university program lasted four years. Now the equivalent program is covered in two.
As Head of Glass at the University of South Australia, Bisetto is sharply aware that the changed university environment is making it difficult to teach artists the craft skills they need. ‘One of the things we discuss is how much we can teach skills and tacit learning at a university when that environment is increasingly changing,’ she said.
