Billy Crellin / Studio Dokola

Driven by patient devotion to material ecology, Billy Crellin’s practice occupies a new plane built upon histories of glass making, studio crafts and industrialisation. Crellin’s sculptural works transform raw earthly commodities into consumer objects, following a linear anthropology that ultimately returns them to natural processes.Crellin established the Naarm/Melbourne glassblowing studio Dokola focused on transforming historical and provocative design elements into modern, functional glass objects. The studio embraces the cyclical nature of design, leveraging concepts like re-melting and revival to create unique, contemporary products. Crellin’s works are found in the collection of the city of Lommel, and he has held residencies at the Glazenhuis in Belgium.
