Matt Hall is an Auckland based artist known for his glass work, which he creates using blowing techniques. With a passion for minimal, beautiful glass objects that play with light.

Hall explores the parameters of the glass process,  focusing on density, optic effects, and the qualities of colour.

His work includes functional glass pieces inspired by the early 20th century design, such as these colorful Fulvio bowls.

His art is a blend of science and art, reflecting the rich  history and engaging the mind, heart, and hands.

Each bowl is individually signed by Matt.

Local jeweler Boyden Evans is a contemporary artist.

His range is unique and hand crafted. Rings, bracelets, earrings and necklaces are now in the gallery.

While Hall constructs a new hot-shop at his home he works from fellow glass artist Luke Jacomb’s studio in West Auckland. Hall and Jacomb have been friends since teenagers when they both got jobs working for Jacomb’s dad, John Croucher, at Gaffer Glass. After working at Gaffer Hall developed his practice while apprenticing to John Penman and Peter Viesnik; as well as training in the Czech Republic and Murano, Italy. 

Hall’s work is inspired by the clean forms found in Italian modernism as well as a material sensibility inherent in working molten glass. But most of all, Hall has a particular sensitivity to the swelling translucent qualities of colour.

Original Murano bead bracelets from Itay and some python skin bangles from the school of leather in Florence. Also, some delicate tiny glass bead necklaces in the gallery now.

Excited to have new work by Jess Maccagno, a local Ngaio based stained glass artist.

My ‘Silence and Skies’ series at Thistle Hall is a collection of small ink paintings that distil vast emotional landscapes into minimal, expressive composition.

Mono Flora Series

‘This collection of botanical monotypes explores the delicate relationship between nature and printmaking. Each piece is created by hand on a gelatine plate using ink or gouache, capturing the unique textures, forms, and fleeting beauty of organic material. No two prints are alike—every impression is an original, shaped by the unpredictability of the process and the individuality of each plant. These limited edition works celebrate imperfection, spontaneity, and the quiet poetry of the natural world’. - Fee

I have always loved these brooches, and I think they are often overlooked so I thought I would have some in the gallery!

I love skies and clouds!

‘Fractus clouds, also called fractostratus or fractocumulus, are small, ragged cloud fragments that are usually found under an ambient cloud base. They form or have broken off from a larger cloud, and are generally sheared by strong winds, giving them a jagged, shredded appearance’
