New Zealand Glassworks - Te Whare Tūhua o Te Ao

Welcome to New Zealand Glassworks – Te Whare Tūhua O Te Ao (NZG), the national centre for glass. Located in Whanganui, a town with a rich history of glass which spans over 150 years, and also New Zealand's UNESCO city of design. NZG supports a vibrant community of glass artists who showcase their heritage craft and innovative creations at our facility.

New Zealand Glassworks is the premier destination for glass lovers and enthusiasts in New Zealand. You can discover the beauty and wonder of glass through our interactive and educational exhibits, workshops, demonstrations, and events. You can also explore our online gallery and shop, where you can find stunning pieces of handmade jewellery, homewares and objects made by local and national artists.

At New Zealand Glassworks, we believe that art has the power to enrich our lives, spark creativity, and inspire us to see the world in new and exciting ways. We are proud to be a part of the vibrant New Zealand arts community and look forward to sharing our passion for glass with you.
