It's with enormous pride that we announce the launch of our family book; Blowing In A New Era: Three Generations, One Family.
McClelland Gallery + Sculpture Park in Langwarrin are hosting a month-long exhibition to celebrate the book and showcase more than 100 pieces, including artwork from a recent residency at Poatina Arts in Tasmania; inspired by our family's 84-year love affair with glass.
Hamish and Calum will be hosting an Artists’ Talk on Saturday 19th July at 2pm at McClelland in the exhibition space.
The book tells the story of our family’s place in global glass art; from Alasdair Gordon meeting his life partner Rish Roddan while specialising in glass engraving in 1954; to their grandsons Hamish and Calum Donaldson both winning art prizes in 2025, the book maps beautiful skill and modern craft against the backdrop of an ancient art.
Books are also available to pre-order for collection on the day.
This Charlie McGowan film was created for the exhibition.
Virtual Gallery
All of our sculptures, bottles, platters and bowls can be found online.
