Setsuko Ogishi graduated with a degree in Fine Arts from Kanazawa College of Arts, Japan. Her career in glass started after her arrival in Australia, where she studied at the Jam Factory Craft Centre, Adelaide from 1982 to 1985, assisted by a grant from the Australia-Japan Foundation. In 1987 Ogishi established her own glass studio in 1987.

Ogishi’s work reflects her Japanese background, strongly influenced by the Australian lifestyle;

“Glass blowing is my great adventure. I started my artistic career as a painter but found I had a much stronger affinity with glass. For me it is a more flexible, pure and honest medium. I enjoy creating the harmony of colours and transparency in versatile texture and shapes that can be achieved in my landscape. It is the wilderness in glass that intrigues me – the depth, the possibilities.”

Ogishi has exhibited her work at major exhibitions and has won numerous awards for excellence in her craft.
