Canberra Glassworks

Canberra Glassworks, Glass art center in Kingston, Australia.

Canberra Glassworks occupies the former Kingston Powerhouse, a building designed by John Smith Murdoch and constructed from 1913 to 1915. Inside, the main hotshop areas are surrounded by public walkways, and a viewing gallery above lets visitors watch glass artists at work. It is the largest dedicated glass studio facility in Australia.

The building was originally Kingston Power House and was converted in 2007 to become Australia's primary glass art institution. This transformation gave the historic industrial building a new cultural purpose.

The space displays works by glass artists from Australia and abroad in rotating exhibitions. Visiting artists use the studios to create and share techniques with the community.

Visitors can participate in glass-making workshops, take self-guided tours, and purchase artworks in the retail space. The facility is open Wednesday through Sunday and offers regular live demonstrations by artists.

The centre occupies the Kingston Powerhouse, Canberra's oldest public building, designed by John Smith Murdoch and built between 1913 and 1915. It generated electricity until 1957, and the conversion kept the original structure wherever possible under an ecologically sustainable design framework.
