Internship Program 2024

Feb - December 2024

Two emerging glass artists will have the chance to take their careers to the next level when they embark on a Creative New Zealand-funded internship programme at Whanganui’s Te Whare Tūhua O Te Ao New Zealand Glassworks.

Whanganui District Council’s libraries and community manager, Pete Gray, says he’s pleased to announce Nathan Moore and Bindi Nimmo are New Zealand Glassworks’ interns for 2024.

“New Zealand Glassworks in Whanganui is nationally recognised as the centre for art glass and is committed to encouraging innovation and growing the next generation of glass artists. During the course of this internship programme, which is funded by Creative New Zealand, five professional glass artists will be on hand to share their knowledge from March to December this year.”

The hands-on aspect will be supplemented with a capability building programme supporting the interns development in business planning, marketing and funding.
