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!
