Roger Buddle
Roger
Buddle was born in South Australia in 1940. He gained a Bachelor of Design
degree (Ceramics & Glass) from Uni. SA in 1994. In 1995 he moved to Victor
Harbor and established a glass studio, working in kiln-formed glass. His glass
working techniques include glass fusing, lost wax casting, and pate de verre.
In 2004 he completed a Master of Visual Arts post graduate degree (Uni. of SA).
The thesis for this study was interpretation
of wilderness areas in glass. This resulted in a technique of multilayered
fused glass work which has led to his current method of working.
In 2011 he
was granted the Artist in Residence position at Grindell’s Hut, Vulkathunha - Gammon
Ranges National Park. This resulted in a body of work depicting this arid,
fragile area.
Roger has
exhibited throughout Australia as wall as Japan, Taiwan, Singapore, Portugal,
USA, and Germany.

Conservation Statement
“I have a particular interest in
Australian arid area conservation. These fragile landscapes and the flora and
fauna within them are especially vulnerable to feral animals as well as human
