Situated in Coburg North, Melbourne, r.a.g.e is Victoria's premier studio dedicated to contemporary glass art and craftsmanship. Established and led by Ruth Allen, our studio offers hands-on public workshops, tailored art services, and a specialised glassblowing traineeship for emerging artisans committed to mastering the craft.
Alongside facilitating bespoke projects for prominent artists and designers, r.a.g.e also nurtures and reflects Ruth’s own evolving glass practice.
Alongside her team of five, Ruth is paving the way forward for safeguarding the ancient craft of hot glass — building Victoria’s first purpose-built, independent, community glass facility — the Glass Epicentre.
Director, aritst, educator — Ruth’s philosophy extends beyond the creation of art; it encompasses a commitment to nurturing the next generation of glass artists.
