Di welcomes visit from Jenny Scown - Inspirit Gallery
Yesterday Jenny Scown of Inspirit Gallery and Pip Stephenson of Tamahere Forum visited Di Tocker's studio.Jenny has been stocking Di's glass artworks for the past 3 years. Di says "Jenny is a great gallery owner to work with, as she is always keen to understand and share the process with potential buyers. However, even after many conversations about technique, I knew Jenny would benefit from seeing the process first hand".
As most people are, Jenny and Pip were astounded by the amount of steps in the process, justifying the often higher price tag on cast glass. Jenny described the processes as complex, and she is not wrong.
Di explains "I am inviting people to visit me in my studio to give people who are interested in cast glass art a total understanding of the complex processes. To give a voice to the glass".
