Discover the best events and make the most of your time this weekend in Canberra. From education to pets and more, we have the biggest event range and best discovery experience, there's something for everyone.
Join us for our free Canberra and Region Heritage Festival glassblowing demonstration with artist Katie-Ann Houghton! This year's Heritage Festival celebrates mid-century innovation through studio glass, a field defined by experimentation and creativity. Visitors can watch live glassblowing demonstrations of mid-century inspired light fixtures, make their own slumped glass tealight holders in hands-on kilnforming workshops, or take a guided heritage tour and see parts of the old Kingston Powerhouse – usually off-limits to visitors. The Powerhouse opened in 1915 to provide coal fired electricity to the new city of Canberra. It was permanently decommissioned in 1957 and in 2007 the building was converted into the Canberra Glassworks, turning industrial heritage into a vibrant hub for contemporary craft. This demonstration provides an opportunity to observe contemporary glass practice in action within an active studio environment, revealing the timing, skill, and collaboration behind the finished work.
