Education Program

The Canberra Glassworks Education Program provides opportunities for the whole community to engage with the exciting and inspiring creation of glass art.

The program includes specially tailored lectures and hands-on classes for one-off day visitors, for young artists (aged 10-17), and for adults at a variety of levels, including advanced classes for practising artists.

The program covers a wide variety of techniques including flame working, glass blowing, cold working, kiln forming and casting.

Introductory Classes teach participants core glass working techniques from first principles.

On-going classes provide those with some experience the opportunity to apply and extend their skills to create more accomplished works and gain a more thorough understanding of processes.

Intensive workshops provide specialist in-depth workshops in advanced glass working methods with national and international artists at the top of their field.

Lectures give participants an insight into the history, practice of and contemporary ideas about glass. Lectures are held throughout the year in a variety of formats, including slide presentations, gallery and studio tours and demonstrations.
