GLASSBLOWING

Glasswork is a private company in Wellington, New Zealand, run by Grant Franklin who is formally trained as a scientific glassblower. With over 40 years of experience, Grant can offer a wide range of glassblowing, both technical or artistic glassware items... I have been involved with this fascinating material since 1978 when I commenced training at the Department of Scientific and Industrial Research (now Callaghan Innovation ) in Lower Hutt, New Zealand. This involved gaining comprehensive skills and knowledge in all aspects of scientific glassblowing. Including design and fabrication of complex scientific glassware, vacuum technology, quartz work, glass to metal seals to name a few.
