Canberra Glassworks is an ACT Arts Centre. It opened in 2007 in the heritage-listed Kingston Powerhouse.
The building contains state of the art workshops for all forms of creating studio glass, a gallery that presents an annual program of curated exhibitions of work by Australia’s finest glass artists, and a retail shop with an extensive range of beautiful handmade glass objects.
Visitors can access a public viewing platform to watch artists at work in the Hotshop, Cold Shop, kiln forming and flame working studios or book into a class to learn how to make their own piece of glass art, take a guided tour or undertake group activities. The Glassworks participates in other ACT festivals and events such as the Heritage Festival and Science Week with a range of complementary special events and demonstrations.
