Gerry Reilly's creative genius is well known throughout Australia, both through his brilliant free-formed art glass and the generosity he brings in sharing his practice through his Melting Pot Glass Studio for the past 35 years in Margaret River.
His highly skilled craftsmanship, brilliantly coloured and handcrafted art glass features his sought-after landscape forms, and ever popular accessible stemless glasses and tableware, hanging baubles and unique sculptures and lighting installations.
The warm friendly welcome at the studio brings connection and inspiration to all who visit. Watch a demo, book in for a glassmaking experience, shop from his studio displays, and wander in the ambient surrounds, with friendly dogs, atop the kangaroo-filled valley, above the Margaret River.
Based on their home property, 5 mins from Margaret River, Gerry and his partner Margot and son Ned, bring everyone an unforgettable taste of the glassblower's world in and around his studio, and the chance to take home a precious piece of Western Australian art glass and a treasured memory of Margaret River creatives at their home-grown best.
