Glass yet to be imagined

Klaus Moje (1936–2016) was one of the most significant contemporary artists working in glass. He changed the way we think about glass. As a teacher he encouraged a generation of young artists to expand their horizons. As a friend and colleague he was generous and open.

The Klaus Moje Projekt is a collaboration between Canberra Glassworks,
The Australian Association of Glass Artists, and Brigitte Ender-Moje to honour Moje’s legacy and give artists the chance to explore their own passion for glass in ways that even Klaus might not have imagined.

Beginnings

The Klaus Moje Projekt is an initiative that involves institutions and individuals that played a large part in Klaus’ life and whose lives have been touched in many ways by his commitment, influence and career. The institutions - Canberra Glassworks, The Australian Association of Glass Artists(Ausglass) - and the wider community of Australian glass artists continue to work together in the design and development of The Projekt, in what will be a dynamic process of evolution.

It is hoped that the evolving development of The Klaus Moje Projekt will be a suite of opportunities through which artists working in glass across the world will expand their creative horizons.

Partners

The Australian Association of Glass Artists (Ausglass) is a not-for-profit membership organization that encourages diversity, dialogue and excellence in Australian contemporary glass. It achieves this primarily through its biennial conference and a program of national glass awards, prizes and project grants.

Canberra Glassworks provides artists with state-of-the-art equipment, intensive workshops taught by leading glass artists, studios, residency programs and a unique context to explore, develop and realize new work. It also provides diverse opportunities for visitors to interact with and learn about glass-making and the heritage of Canberra’s Kingston Power House. Visitors can meet artists, see glass-making as it happens, view exhibitions, take tours and have a hands-on experience of working with glass.

Brigitte Ender-Moje has an art career that spans more that fifty years. She has worked in ceramics, metal and glass, and is particularly well known for her experimental and dynamic stoneware sculptures. Born in Germany, she migrated to Australia, with Klaus, in 1982.
