Two Noongar glass makers will feature alongside a third artist at a special Boorloo (Perth) event celebrating the International Year of Glass on 18 April.

Amanda Bell, a Badimia and Yued woman, currently has a stunning glass sculpture on display at the Art Gallery of Western Australia. Titled "From our lip, mouths, throat and belly", the sculpture takes the shape of the Noongar word "Moorditj," which means "good" or "awesome" in English.

Shannon Clohessy, from the South West region, recently exhibited three of her pieces in the Emergences exhibition at the Holmes à Court Gallery in Vasse Felix. Her unique perspective and creativity are sure to make her a rising star in the world of glass art.

Kim Fitzpatrick, a fourth-generation glass artist from Perth, has left his mark on various prestigious locations, including cathedrals, hotels, and Houses of Parliament. His masterful glass art can also be found in some of the most elegant private homes, including those in Subiaco.

Mr Fitzpatrick loves a challenge when it comes to restoring historical art glass pieces, noting that "the stained glass panel I recently worked on in a renovation of historic home Fairview in Subiaco provides a focal point for the new second story bedroom and can be seen from the street".

"The owner bought one panel at an auction. My challenge was to create a new panel to match the existing one," he said.

"During my 50 year career as a glass artist, this has been one of the most challenging works I have ever created."

In conjunction with the Rotary Club of Subiaco, Amanda, Kim and Shannon will be speaking at a special seminar called "Golden Light: The Legacy and Future of Subiaco's Historic Stained Glass and Leadlight" on World Heritage Day on Tuesday April 18th from 530pm to 830pm at the Subiaco Hotel.
