Collection: Whanganui Vintage Weekend

Discover the Heritage Craft of Glass Blowing at New Zealand Glassworks – Te Whare Tūhua o Te Ao 

Located in the heart of historic Whanganui, New Zealand Glassworks is the national centre for glass and a vibrant hub for the craft of hot glass. 

Whanganui has a rich legacy in glassmaking and is home to a thriving community of artists dedicated to this extraordinary craft. Housed in the former printing press building of The Chronicle newspaper, NZ Glassworks offers a unique and inspiring space where creativity comes to life. 

Pop in to watch live glassblowing, browse our gallery and shop filled with contemporary New Zealand jewellery, homewares, and artwork, or sign up for one of our Vintage Weekend Workshops to try the craft yourself.
