Born and raised in Ballarat, Nick Doran Adams was immersed in the world of art from a young age. Nick’s fascination with glass led him to pursue a Bachelor of Visual Art, majoring in glass at the School of Art, Australian National University, Canberra. He spent 8 years at Canberra Glassworks, working with a range of talented artists, absorbing their techniques, refining his own practice, and building the strength and skill required for glassblowing. In 2022, Nick brought his extensive experience and passion to Melbourne, joining Ruth Allen’s studio in Coburg. Here, he continues to explore his love for glass, appreciating its versatility and the dramatic transformation it undergoes from molten to solid, and teaching a wide range of skill levels.
