February 2012 saw Norm reach a personal and artistic watershed when he fired-up the glassblowing furnaces in Nungurner once again and resumed work as a glass artist trading under the name of Tallon Glass: ‘Tallon’ being the heartfelt acronym for ‘Tricia Allen Legacy Lives On’.
Norm describes his “new challenge in life as keeping art glass alive in Nungurner” and in doing so he “draws a kaleidoscope of endless inspiration from his memories of Tricia and her work.” And in that regard “Tallon” truly is a legacy of art and love.
