Benjamin Edols and Kathy Elliott run a successful glass studio at Brookvale, near Sydney’s northern beaches. They have been working together since 1992 and are known for their blown and carved glass forms.

Most of their works are one-off pieces for exhibition. Benjamin Edols’ skills as a glassblower include a repertoire of Venetian techniques. Kathy Elliott’s cold-working techniques, applied later to the blown forms, include grinding, wheel cutting and engraving.

Edols and Elliott also value the skills of production. Over the years they have consistently made production series of bowls, bottles and goblets.

Edols’ and Elliott’s works were included in the 2007 exhibition 'Smart works: design and the handmade’ at the Powerhouse Museum in Sydney.
