In this weeks episode I spoke with the immensely talented Adelaide artist, Emma Young. Emma Young is a Glass Blower and in 2018 was highly commended in the Urban Cow studio Art Prize, she was the winner of the 2019 "All Connections to Unley" art prize and in the following October of 2019 she launched her first solo exhibition showcased at Urban Cow Studio. She has been featured in SA life magazine in June 2020 and was a highlighted artist in film maker, Henry Thongs mini series, Makers who inspire.
In this episode we discuss:
