Clare Millar is a writer who fell in love with molten glass in 2019. Since 2021, she has been a regular trainee at Ruth Allen Glass, working with Ruth, Nick Doran Adams and Juniper Maffescioni to hone foundational skills in glassblowing. In 2023 she was a participant in Corey Pemberton’s workshop at the Corning Museum of Glass, and Tom Rowney’s cane masterclass at the Jamfactory in 2024. Her practice is centred around writing about proprioception and how the skills of glassblowing come into the body’s subconscious, articulating where the magic happens in glassmaking, and documenting the living history of Australian studio glass. As such, she is working to develop a varied skillset in the field of glass.
