“I am fascinated by glass - by its ability to transform itself from a solid to a liquid and back to a solid again! For me it is the endless fascination of where science and art meet.”

I am a Tauranga based glass-maker who makes original, non-generic works of art out of glass! I do not blow glass - my works are handmade using kiln-forming and flame-working techniques and serve both functional and decorative purposes.

I am inspired by colour and pattern as well as my children, family history, books, dance, travelling and the stunning country of New Zealand where I live.

I love my job and I am passionate about what I do! - Jo Tricker
