Signature Australian Natives Paperweight Cockatoo

Originally created in 2015 to celebrate the 100th anniversary of the Kingston Power House, this CGW Signature piece was designed by renowned glass artist Lisa Cahill. In this new series, Lisa collaborates with Swedish-born artist Peter Nilsson, combining her luminous hand-cast glass forms with his intricate drawings of iconic Australian flora and fauna.

Lisa Cahill is an established artist specialising in kiln formed and cold worked glass. Within her artistic practice, she manipulates light to reveal an intensity of colour and evoking notions of an ephemeral landscape.

Swedish born Peter Nilsson is an established glass artist specialising in cold worked glass now based in Canberra. Deciding to become a glass engraver at the age of seven, Peter is internationally renowned as a master cold worker with over thirty years’ experience.
