Cockington Green

Just before the school holidays, Grandma and Grandad Rutherford were down for a visit, and along with MLR and Me we went to Cockington Green for a visit - they had not seen the new international section. Here are some of the photo's that MLR took of the International Section.

Glass works

Located in the historic Kingston Powerhouse, the Canberra Glassworks, opened in May 2007, are a one of a kind attraction for artists and vistors alike. For more information, click the link above.





The outside of the Kingston powerhouse, refitted as the Glass Works.

Two entrances, carpark and lakeside

One part of the gallery leads to the old smoke stack that has been preserved and the base is a gallery.

Upstairs you can walk around above an open space that at one end includes the ovens for the glass demonstrations.

And an area where visitors can watch the glass being worked.

The roof struts and the pulleys have been preserved making it a fantastic space to visit and to work in.

At the far end of the building classes in glass making are held. There is a cafe and and a shop for purchasing glass goods that have been made by the local artists.
