Welcome to amokura glass
We are a glass-making studio and glass art gallery in Rotorua New Zealand. Run by artist Heather Kremen, our studio produces high-quality decorative and functional glass art. While we specialize in blown glass, we are passionate about art glass in all its forms and our facilities include studios for fused and cast glass and lead lighting.
Our hot shop is open to the public from Friday to Monday. Come in during our working hours from 9:30 am to 3pm to see live glassblowing.
Our Artist
Heather Kremen is a glassblower, artist, and educator. She was first introduced to the art of glassblowing in 2007 and has been hooked ever since. You can find her hard at work in the Amokura Glass hot shop or behind the scenes creating all the beautiful work that fills our gallery!
Workshops & Classes
We offer a range of workshops and glass-making experiences designed to get you into the studio. Working one-on-one in our hot glass studio, you will design and make your own paperweight, pumpkin, or drinking glass. We also offer workshops in fused glass, leadlight and more in-depth glassblowing techniques.
Live Glassblowing
We are a working hot shop open to the public. Our working hours are 9:30 am - 3 pm Friday, Saturday, Sunday, and Monday. We welcome visitors to our gallery to watch us work, ask questions & learn about the process of glassblowing.
