Introduction

Flamedaisy Glass Design is a Nelson studio specialising in lampworked and blown glass. The workshop produces coloured glass vessels, jewellery and decorative pieces, often drawing on New Zealand's coastlines, flowers and birdlife. During open hours visitors can usually watch glass being shaped in a high-temperature flame, learn the basics of colouring, fusing and annealing, and browse the showroom for one-off handmade pieces. Part of Nelson's "Creative City" craft ecosystem, it fits neatly into a half-day craft-themed outing alongside the city's other glass, ceramic and jewellery studios.
