Glass Artist
Darwin, Northern Territory

After careers in the RAAF and the licensed club industry, Jon Firth came to glass art after a meeting in 1984 with Sydney glass artist Marc Grunseit. Firth was trained by Grunseit in both stained glass and kiln formed glass. Subsequently, Firth moved to Darwin and established his own studio.

Over the ensuing years Firth's passion for glass has never waned.

Firth's Coral Vista series is inspired by the breathtakingly beautiful, dynamic and fragile world of the coral reef.

Firth's kiln formed glass has been acquired by collectors from all over the world and has also been presented to a number of world leaders by the Northern Territory Government. His stained glass adorns churches and private homes in Darwin.
