Watch Glassblowing Live

 

We are a working hot glass studio. Everything in our gallery has been made in our studio or by our artists. When the hot shop is running, we making pieces to sell here and in other galleries across Aotearoa. We also produce custom work for individuals and companies.

We are grateful to have a publicly accessible hot shop so that visitors to our studio and gallery can watch us working with glass. You’re welcome to stop in and see what we’re up to any time that the shop is open. We love to describe the process of glassmaking but sometimes when we’re busy we aren’t able to answer questions.

For a group demonstration or to schedule a demo on a day when we are not working in the studio, please get in touch with us directly.

Our working hours are 9:30 am - 3 pm Friday, Saturday, Sunday and Monday.

Hot Glass Workshops

 

We are excited that every day we get to work with glass and we love to share that excitement with visitors to our studio. Our favourite thing is to give people who would never imagine themselves working with hot glass the chance to experience this incredible medium. Our workshops are a fun and accessible way to try something new and make something that you’ll be proud of for the rest of your life.

About Heather

Heather Kremen is a glassblower, artist, and educator. She is currently the owner of Amokura Glass in Rotorua, where she creates fine art glass, elegant functional homeware, and unique decorative objects.

Heather began blowing glass in 2007 when she took her first workshop and she hasn’t stopped since. She has trained and worked in blown and kiln-formed glass, although these days she spends most of her time in the hot shop and teaching.

Heather is passionate about glass art and works to share that passion as broadly as possible, from answering questions from visitors to the gallery to teaching and mentoring aspiring artists. She hopes one day to expand Amokura Glass into a glass school where artists can learn blown, fused, and cast glass techniques.

In her fine art practice, Heather’s current work incorporates fused and blown glass into intricately patterned vessels. These pieces are on display in the gallery at Amokura Glass and have been displayed in Rotorua and across Aotearoa. View her work online at H Kremen Glass.
