Plan your glass road trip!
Welcome to the NZ Glass Trail
Discover glass studios and glass-focused galleries across Aotearoa that welcome visitors. Whether you’re travelling for the summer holidays or exploring your own backyard, use the map below to plan your glass road trip.
How to use the map
Zoom in and out, or drag the map to explore a region.
Tap a pin to see what’s there, including visiting arrangements and website links.
Many studios are open by appointment, so please check ahead or book before you visit.
Visiting etiquette
Please respect each artist’s opening arrangements, and remember that some studios are in artists’ homes. A little notice goes a long way.
The NZ Glass Trail is a free service from GAINZ (Glass Artists in New Zealand), supporting our glass community.
Want to be on the trail?
It’s free and takes about a minute. Join the NZ Glass Trail here. If your studio isn’t open to visitors, you’re welcome to list a local gallery that stocks your work.
