Canberra Glassworks

Canberra Glassworks is a glass art center in Kingston with exhibition spaces, working studios, and a gallery. Visitors can watch professional glass artists creating contemporary works in the studios.

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 center uses recycled materials in art projects, including chandeliers and vases made from vintage Bombay Sapphire bottles. These creative upcycling works show how craftspeople transform everyday objects into art.
