From the soothing shades of blue to the fiery hues of red, the world of colours is a vast and captivating realm. In this blog post, we will take a journey through a collection of intriguing colours, each with its own unique story and character. </p><p>Join us as we delve into the enchanting world of Watchet, Pale Blue Gery, Sable Black, Puke, Pompadour, Phthalo Green, Nymphea, Incarnadine, Hooker's Green, Heather, Dun, Delft Blue, Coquelicot, Bordeaux, and Bister.</p></div><div style="text-align: left;"><p><b>1.Watchet</b>: Pale Blue Gery: Watchet is a delicate and ethereal colour, often described as a pale blue-grey. This serene hue is reminiscent of the soft hues that grace the sky at dawn or dusk, creating a sense of tranquillity and calmness. Its understated elegance makes it a popular choice for interior design, evoking a peaceful and soothing ambience.</p><p><b>2.Sable Black:</b> Derived from heraldry, Sable Black takes its name from the fur of the small weasel-like animal. This deep and lustrous shade of black exudes elegance and sophistication. Often associated with luxury and opulence, it adds a touch of mystery and allure to any setting.</p><p><b>3.Puke: </b>Dark Brown: Despite its rather unappealing name, Puke is a rich, dark brown colour that draws its origins from the woollen fabric of the same name. While the name may not be enticing, this colour carries a sense of warmth and earthiness, reminiscent of autumnal hues and the comforting embrace of nature.</p><p><b>4.Pompadour</b>: Warm Pale Blue: Inspired by the eighteenth-century marquise and mistress of King Louis XV, Pompadour is a warm and inviting pale blue shade. This colour exudes a sense of refinement and elegance, reminiscent of the grandeur and sophistication of the Rococo era. It is perfect for adding a touch of grace to any space.</p><p><b>5.Phthalo Green</b>: Phthalo Green is a vibrant and piney blue-green colour named after a synthetic pigment. Its vivid tones are reminiscent of lush forests and emerald landscapes.

It carries a sense of romance and femininity, reminiscent of blooming flowers and dreamy sunsets. Nymphea adds a touch of elegance and grace to any setting, whether it be in fashion or interior design.</p><p><b>7.Incarnadine</b>: Fierce Saturated Pinkish Red: With its intense and passionate aura, the Incarnadine is a colour that commands attention. This fierce and saturated pinkish-red shade is impossible to ignore. It symbolizes power, love, and desire, making it a striking choice for bold statements and daring designs.</p><p><b>8.Hooker's Green</b>: Hooker's Green is a bright and invigorating green colour, named after the British illustrator William Hooker. Combining Persian blue with gamboge, this vibrant hue exudes energy and vitality. It is often associated with nature and growth, making it a popular choice for botanical themes and eco-friendly initiatives.</p><p><b>9.Heather:</b> Heather, once a pre-twentieth-century synonym for mottled, is commonly associated with a pinky-purple hue. This gentle and soothing colour evokes a sense of calmness and nostalgia. Its delicate tones remind us of the blooming heather fields and the gentle embrace of nature.</p><p><b>10.Dun</b>: Dun is a versatile colour that often describes a grey-brown shade commonly used to describe livestock. This neutral and earthy tone adds warmth and authenticity to any design. It is reminiscent of rustic landscapes and the simple beauty of the natural world.</p><p><b>11.Delft Blue:</b> Inspired by the pottery made in the Dutch city of Delft in the eighteenth century, Delft Blue is an inky shade that carries a sense of history and tradition. This deep blue hue is often associated with elegance and refinement, reminiscent of the intricate patterns adorning Delftware ceramics.</p><p><b>12.Coquelicot</b>: Coquelicot is a vibrant red colour with a hint of orange. The name derives from the French word for the wild poppy, "Papaver rhoeas." This lively hue exudes energy, passion, and vitality. Coquelicot captures the essence of summer and brings a burst of joy to any design.</p><p><b>13.Bordeaux:</b> Deep and rich like the French wine it's named after, Bordeaux is a colour that exudes sophistication and elegance. This deep cherry shade carries a sense of refinement and luxury, making it a popular choice for high-end fashion and interior design.</p><p><b>14.Bister: </b>Bister is a brownish pigment made from burnt wood. It carries a sense of warmth and earthiness, reminiscent of natural materials and rustic charm. Bister adds depth and character to any design, reflecting the beauty of nature in its simplest form.</p><p>Colours have the power to transport us to different moods, evoke emotions, and tell stories. From the peaceful Watchet to the fiery Incarnadine, each colour mentioned in this blog post possesses a unique charm and history. </p><p><b><i>Exploring the vivid world of colours allows us to tap into our creative selves and create captivating designs that reflect our personalities and aspirations. Whether you prefer the tranquillity of blues, the warmth of browns, or the vibrancy of reds and greens, the realm of colours is boundless, waiting to be explored and celebrated.</i></b><br /></p></div>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5000754213669900498.post-9944935211581561652021-02-24T11:54:00.000+11:002021-02-24T11:54:17.804+11:00Samantha Stitz, of Hextasy Glass - featured exhibitor at the 2021 Festival Expo<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt;"></span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgoyW8GSjMdiYTggtdGdy3fUopGyT-hu88QvWNioWBifB9g9rmzwc8MXxlXyAvmJAfJ3H8zEpZGRmRjDIIJWRfps4tOI3AxvYUDEJscV0B_dcmaUc2w6bk7W6BUjKEFwBPCwHqDvPSuMPWd/s800/2.1+S.StitzHeadshot.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="800" data-original-width="800" height="187" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgoyW8GSjMdiYTggtdGdy3fUopGyT-hu88QvWNioWBifB9g9rmzwc8MXxlXyAvmJAfJ3H8zEpZGRmRjDIIJWRfps4tOI3AxvYUDEJscV0B_dcmaUc2w6bk7W6BUjKEFwBPCwHqDvPSuMPWd/w200-h187/2.1+S.StitzHeadshot.jpg" width="200" /></a></div><span style="font-family: times;"><span style="font-size: medium;">Samantha
Stitz (Sam) lives and works in sunny Brisbane, but has displayed her glass art at markets
and exhibitions all over Australia. Her first contact with the amazing world of
glass was in 2008, when her mother bought a fused dichroic pendant "I was
mesmerized!", she says. "I'm fascinated by its different colours and
by the different glass working techniques."</span></span><p></p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt;"></span><b><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">From
fusing to lampwork to sculpting</span></b>
</p><p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">Fusing
pendants led her to lampworking (using an oxygen fuelled torch to melt glass)
and she started making beads in 2010. From beads, Sam moved on creating
glass sculptures, using primarily soft glass. " Soft glass can be a bit temperamental",
she says, especially when you are working on large pieces. So I talk nicely to
it! I design my sculptures as collections of individual components, to avoid
changes in temperature stressing the glass as I assemble the components into
the finished sculpture."</span></p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">More
recently, Sam has added enamelling copper to her repertoire of techniques.
"This is lots of fun to do", she says, "especially in the summer
months in Brisbane as it can get very hot and humid - not suitable for spending
hours at the torch!"</span></p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt;"> </span></p><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt;"></span>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><b><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">Building
community</span></b></p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">Sam's new to MadeIt, but she's thrilled to be part of their community. "We
all need to support the market for crafts that are handmade in Australia, especially
in our currently uncertain world", she says, "There is just so much
talent and inspiration out in the community. I'm happy when someone adopts one
of my pieces, so I'm happy to support other artists when I'm looking for gifts
and homewares."</span></p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt;"> </span></p>

give Sam the final word: "Over the years, glass has brought me so
much joy and taught me great patience, perseverance and humility. Not
everything you try will work the first time, but practice and hard work will
always get you where you want to be. I am largely self-taught, but in the past
few years I have attended the amazing workshops by glass masters at the
Festival of Glass; and I enjoy teaching and sharing what I do. I hope that you
will enjoy my passion as much as I do."</span></span><p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: medium;">In
partnership with Madeit, Australia's leading online craft retail site, the
Festival is running two online boutiques between February 20<sup>th</sup> and
May 21<sup>st</sup> - one for jewellery, one for sculptures & homewares. Visitors
to the boutiques can browse and buy a range of glass art; they can meet some
exhibitors online in "Meet the Maker" sessions; and they can watch exhibitors
at work in and online "Demonstrations". Details of these online
events are on the Festival's web site.</span></p>

Treasure Hunt makeover</span></b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif;">This 2021 Festival's
Treasure Hunt was launched with a High Tea on Monday 11 January at Drysdale's Café
Zoo and has attracted twenty five North Bellarine businesses. The original
closing date has been extended a week to February 27<sup>th</sup>, to
accommodate Victoria's recent 5-day lockdown. So there's still time to hunt for
treasure!</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif;">Each participating
business is displaying a piece of glass art and a glass 'Tiny Treasure' it has
commissioned. A treasure hunter who finds a 'Tiny Treasure' e-mails a
photograph of it to a dedicated address (</span><a href="mailto:fogTH21@gmail.com" title="mailto:fogTH21@gmail.com"><span style="color: blue; font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-GB;">fogTH21@gmail.com</span></a><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif;">); for every ten different 'Tiny
Treasures' they find, they enter a draw for the commissioned glass art. On
February 28, Festival organisers will live stream the draw from the Festival's
Facebook page, then e-mail each prize winner.</span><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif;"> </span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif;"> </span></p>

worshops! </span></b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif;">Inspired
by the glass art in the Treasure Hunt and the Expo? Tempted to create your own?
Then a Festival workshop is the place to be! Between February 25<sup>th</sup>
and March 13<sup>th</sup>, there are eleven Festival workshops: make leaves and
trees and birds and bugs from glass, learn bead weaving, create colourful
mosaics and blow glass beads. sculptures and baubles. All the details are on
the Festival web site.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif;">Most of
the workshops are face-to-face, so the number of participants will be limited,
to meet Covid-19 safety rules. So if you'd like to attend one, make sure that
you book in now to ensure a place - one workshop is booked-out already.</span></p>

<div class="MsoNormal">
Later in the 17<sup>th</sup> century (1673), Englishman
George Ravenscroft challenged Murano’s near-monopoly on glass technology with
his invention - lead crystal, in which lead replaces the calcium of ‘standard’
(potash) glass.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The inclusion of lead results in glass that has greater
‘brilliance’ or shine and <span style="mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">separates
light into its component spectra, as a prism does.</span> Further, crystal
stayed clear even when thick, whereas <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">cristallo</i>
tended to look dark unless it was blown thin. (The Ravenscroft goblet in the illustration is held in the National Museum of Warsaw.)</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b>Another new fashion in glass</b><br />
Ravenscroft and subsequent crystal manufacturers exploited
these refractory properties of the relatively thick crystal, creating a new
fashion that challenged the dominance of <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Façon
de Venise</i>. Indeed, the decline in the <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Façon
de Venise</i> style was a major contributor to the decline of Murano’s
dominance.<br />
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
Today, perhaps the best-known legacy of Ravenscroft's creation is Waterford Crystal, which is owned by WWRD Group Holdings Ltd., a luxury
goods group which also owns and operates the Wedgwood and Royal Doulton brands,
and which was acquired on 2 July 2015 by the Fiskars Corporation.</div>

When a Treasure Hunter finds a ‘Tiny Treasure’, the business
stamps their entry form. (Each business will have blank forms.); and every ten
stamps earns the Treasure Hunter a place in the Treasure Hunt draw at the
Festival Expo (Sunday 17<sup>th</sup> February), with specially commissioned
pieces of glass art as prizes.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Many businesses have found it so enjoyable to be part of
previous Treasure Hunts that they were happy to sign up for the 2019 event.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
In 2019, you won’t miss the Treasure Hunt – it will be
advertised in all the local papers and on roadside signs; and each
participating business will have a poster in its window.</div>

are part of a category of glassware known as “stemware” - drinking vessels on
stems attached to a base or a foot. The stem is both decorative and functional
– it allows the drinker to hold the vessel without affecting the temperature of
the drink within. The word “goblet” derives from the old English word ‘gobelet’
meaning ‘cup’.</span></div>

Glass drinking vessels began to replace clay or metal ones
with the invention of <span style="mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">transparent

<b>What a team!</b></div>

Karina
and Cédric often teach flamework together at international schools. Cédric has
the quiet concentration you might expect of a scientific glassblower, while
Karina has a riotous sense of humour and delights in small animals! Put the two
together and the results are spectacular! Their modern-day versions of
traditional Venetian-style goblets must be seen to be believed and, of course, you can
do just that at the 2019 Festival of Glass.</div>

The
arcade was painted a deep brown, making it a dark and uninviting place to visit
or even to walk through. The Festival committee felt that the arcade could be
improved by repainting it in a lighter colour, then installing a glass mural to
make it a unique site of interest.</div>

Business
owners in the arcade were enthusiastic about the proposal, as were the arcade’s
owners, so painting started in July. Festival committee members were joined by
DCSCA committee members and by some Festival Friends (were you there?!) and
after two coats of paint, the arcade looks better and brighter already – even

The
arcade project is the second mosaic in Drysdale initiated by the Festival of
Glass. In October 2016, we unveiled the ceramic and glass “Welcome to Drysdale”
mural overlooking the town’s ‘village green’. The mural was created in
collaboration with Wathaurong Glass, Bellarine Secondary College and the Rotary
Club of Drysdale.</div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Now in its eighth
year, the Festival of Glass is helping to build a sense of community as it
promotes local glass artists.</b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Times;">The Festival is an
initiative of the Drysdale & Clifton Springs Community Association*, which set
up a Festival committee in 2010 to establish and run the Festival. The
Association’s intention was always that Festival would contribute to the identity
of the growing </span>local community while it promoted glass art – especially
by local glass artists.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj3ofr6GCrShHxvZPZM-YDW6jHu2rzrkF0tWfVp_DipkNYO51CrFeKiOYxh2v0N2jEv_d55ljO6I6AxN3gEQqqu5qVl0ZeBRRAB4bkvs4RYJbUyhHjPYKId11vP8BgOOMVe_BRzw9JTxGKA/s1600/inclusive.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="206" data-original-width="530" height="77" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj3ofr6GCrShHxvZPZM-YDW6jHu2rzrkF0tWfVp_DipkNYO51CrFeKiOYxh2v0N2jEv_d55ljO6I6AxN3gEQqqu5qVl0ZeBRRAB4bkvs4RYJbUyhHjPYKId11vP8BgOOMVe_BRzw9JTxGKA/s200/inclusive.jpg" width="200" /></a></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Times;">Consequently, the Festival has
actively involved local organisations, groups and individuals since it started
in 2011. The committee draws on its strong links with the Community Association
and several committee members are also involved with other local groups and
organisations, including the Lions, Rotary and the SpringDale Neighbourhood
House. These organisations sponsor various elements of the Festival –
especially the Glass Art awards - and their members volunteer to help at
specific Festival events. The Bellarine Historical Society recently initiated
an annual Historic Bottle Evaluation, which it runs as part of the Festival
with the two organisations cross-promoting each other.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Times;">The Festival has involved local
schools – through its “Welcome to Drysdale” glass mural project and its
Mentorship Progamme for local young aspiring glass artists. </span></div>

the Festival has grown, it has benefited an increasing number of local
businesses in various ways. First, by buying goods and services from them – the
committee always aims to “Shop local”. Second, the Festival Expo brings several
thousand visitors to Drysdale and the Festival promotional material encourages
them to explore local commercial attractions such as wineries, cafes, olive
farms and shops. Third, the Festival’s Treasure Hunt brings treasure hunters to
each participating local business across the North Bellarine - and every
treasure hunter is a potential customer!</span></div>

<span style="mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">Local
businesses have responded in various ways and the Festival committee is very
grateful for their support. Without it, the Festival of Glass wouldn’t be what
it has become. Some businesses sponsor specific elements of the Festival, such
as the annual Glass Art Awards, the Artist in Residence Programme, the
Mentorship Programme and, of course the Treasure Hunt; others give 'in kind' support, such as vouchers or special prices.</span></div>

history started when John Batman first arrived at Indented Head, bringing glass
beads and mirrors as ‘gifts’ for the local aborigines. At the turn of the
century, the area was known for the ‘torpedo bottles’ in which local spring
water was sold; in the 1930s, huge quantities of shell grit were exported from
the Bellarine to Melbourne’s glass factories and Pilkington opened Australia’s
first automotive glass factory in Geelong. Glass has been implicated in the
area’s growth since then.</span></div>

Currently in Australia, recycling companies collect, sort,
and store waste. Much of it is then sold overseas for processing into reusable
raw materials. However, on January 1 this year, China banned the importation of
a range of recyclable rubbish, closing route for 600,000 tonnes of material
exported by Australia each year. Australia's recycling industry is feeling the
impact of that ban already, with recycled waste being stockpiled in warehouses.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
China’s ban has hit Australia’s glass recycling industry
especially hard, because the market for recycled glass is already undercut by cheap
imported glass. Indeed, it is currently cheaper to import glass bottles than to
recycle them. As a result, hundreds of thousands of tonnes of close to
worthless used glass are being stockpiled and used as landfilled instead of
being recycled.</div>

In Victoria, recycling company Visy will stop collecting waste from 22 regional councils from February 9. However, many recycling companies are locked into contracts with local councils that last up to ten years.</div>

NSW alone consumes about 460,000 tonnes of used glass per
year and the NSW Environment Protection Agency (EPA) prohibits recycling
companies from stockpiling large amounts of material. However, a confidential industry
report provided to the NSW EPA in 2017 reported substantial stockpiling of used
glass. The report also said that in many Australian states the market for used glass
is depressed; and that in many rural areas, increasing freight costs mean that
recycling glass is only marginally profitable.</div>

Despite this crisis in glass recycling, cheap imports of ‘virgin’
materials are preferred to local reprocessed materials. For example, road base
is constantly being made with newly mined sand, rather than with ‘sand’ using
Australia's glut of recycled glass. Waste Management Association of Australia
(WMAA) president Garth Lamb has said that Mr Lamb said, "A lot of the big
state government road projects ... could suck up all the glass that's being
stockpiled around Australia ...”</div>
