Hirings - Information for Artists

How to hire the facilities

Prior to any use of the Canberra Glassworks facilities and equipment artists will need to:

provide a certificate of insurance (including public liability to $20 million)

sign a Canberra Glassworks’ User’s Agreement

agree to the Canberra Glassworks’ Workshop Regulations and Code of Conduct

be inducted into each area and each piece of equipment being hired

Anyone hiring facilities at Canberra Glassworks are legally required to be fully inducted to each area of intended use. A General Building Induction refresher is required every 12 months.

For full induction to take place the Glassworks must ensure the hirer is competent and safe whilst hiring at CGW and must assess each hirer’s experience in working with glass and of working within a shared facility. This assessment then allows the Glassworks to determine what extra experience, if any is required before full induction for independent hiring.

GR'AFT draws on the ancient practice of grafting, the joining of separate living forms to create new growth, as both process and metaphor. Developed during a 2024 residency at Canberra Glassworks, Lynda Draper's new body of work brings together glass, ceramics, and bronze through collaborations with skilled artisans.
