Why We Created the Bullseye Glass Procurement Program

Every piece of glass begins as an idea.

Sometimes it's a colour that catches your attention. Sometimes it's a particular reaction between two glasses, or a shape that only exists as a rough sketch in the margin of a notebook.

Long before the kiln is switched on, artists are already making decisions — testing colour combinations, checking compatibility, and working out what a design will actually need to become real. That process starts with having reliable access to the right materials, which is exactly the gap the Bullseye Glass Procurement Program was built to close.

The kiln finishes a piece. Everything that makes it possible happens before that.

Coordinating group orders means every artist in the program gets access to the same reliable supply chain we rely on ourselves — without needing to navigate importing Bullseye Glass independently.

It's a small shift in how materials get to a Sydney studio bench, but it changes what's possible before a single piece of glass ever reaches the kiln.
