Glassy Wonders to Create

Glassy Wonders to Create

Canberra Glassworks is a museum and learning/workshop facility in an historical building (Canberra’s oldest in fact), located by what used to be the Molonglo River and is now Lake Burley Griffin. In a building that once created electricity for Canberra, you can now see and create your own glass ornament, bead, sphere paperweight and other delightful treasures in workshops and ‘off the street’ classes. The classes range from glass blowing in two 3-4 hour workshops for a price of $450 to a 20 minute session of bead making for $25. The tour of the facility includes a nice sit down area where you can watch glass blowing, as well as a walkway that allows you to watch those in the workshops.

A must see and must do for budding artists. The worse that can happen is that you become addicted to glass making and keep coming back for more!

Workshops are only for those 12 years and up. But, there if you don’t want to hang about and wait in the Glassworks building, there is the Old Bus Depot Market on Sundays to keep you happily distracted with food, crafts and knick knacks until part of the family is done with their workshop.

Since the classes and workshops are quite popular, it’s best to call or email ahead to book yourself into a workshop. contactus@canberraglassworks.com or check out the workshop for more info
