The Team

When Silvi Glattauer joined Tess and brothers Doug and Robert Hails in 2001, there was the beginning of a committee of management and a level of professionalism which had been until then, rather ad hoc in concept and organisation. As a not-for-profit incorporated association, everyone was a volunteer, and the place was truly founded on goodwill and a belief in the cause! Over the years we have had help and support from so many people, all willing to pitch in, whether it be for a one-off working bee or a responsible admin job on a short or long term ‘contract’. These days we have a fully professional organisation, with a Committee of Management comprising Tess Edwards Baldessin as President, Silvi Glattauer as Studio Manager, Ros Muston as Secretary, Rob Hails as Treasurer, and Members Nicole Bowller and Gabriel Baldessin. Many amazing volunteers include Kate Shearer, Kate Zizys, Etienne Mantelli, and Elizabeth Haigh. Today the Studio is a well-oiled machine, thanks to all members and volunteers.
