About
Hot Glass Fiji is Fiji's first glass blowing studio, where glass is hand blown to create beautiful souvenirs and memories of Fiji. The studio is free to visit and we offer a unique and hugely enjoyable glassblowing experience for anyone who would like to try glassblowing - make your own stunning souvenir of fantastic Fiji! The work is inspired by the cool colours of the sea, the luscious greens of the rain forest and the traditional Fijian textures and long used traditional craft skills. Hot Glass Fiji has designed and made pieces of art which can be used or just admired in your homes. Each piece is a unique and wonderful memory of Fiji. All are welcome to come to the studio located in our lush tropical garden overlooking the ocean on Sunset Strip, Korotogo. Take the time to watch the fascinating process of glass blowing, browse and buy our unique Fiji made glassware.

- SalsgangFreeport, Maine133 contributionsGreat glass art studio. Browse, watch and learn the art of glass making.Found out about this place on trip advisor an so glad we did. The studio offered some really great pieces at reasonable prices. They had chairs set up where you could sit and watch the glass making process as long as you wanted too. Met the owner and staff and they were very welcoming. They also offer classes if you want to make your own glass. Very cool experience.Bula! We love having people visit the studio and watch the team at work - glassblowing is really cool to watch! Thank you for visiting and for the lovely review.

- FlyingDutchman49Amstelveen, The Netherlands2 contributionsFun artistic experienceWe were at Fiji Hot Glass to experience the glass blowing lesson and to look at the wonderful pieces made by Alice and her team. We did this with our 10 yr old daughter who absolutely loved the lesson and was able to create her own piece based on her own inspiration with help from Peter and the others. The lesson is an explanation about the glass blowing proces whilst being demonstrated. This made it fun to watch, easy to follow and not to lengthy. Followed by blowing your own glass piece with the help and guidance of the team. Amazing to see how from nearly nothing you can make something so quickly. However to see the final result the glass needs to cool down before you can see the full end result which you can take home with you. We would highly recommend to visit Fiji Hot Glass if you are looking for a fun and a bit different activity and/or if want to take something special home from your trip to the Fijian islands.Cola Vina, It was absolutely fantastic having you visit and we are so glad you had such a great time. Thank you so much for the glowing review and we look forward to seeing you back again for the next birthday!

This was a really cool little activity! We sat and watched the lads create a few different objects then had a bit of a shop ourselves. Would have loved to have a turn myself with one of the experiences but we just didn’t have time!

Hi, we offer glass blowing experiences from 8yrs up. With the children we give them the option to either do a sand casting experience (where they prepare a mold and we cast the molten glass in) or to make a hot piece of glass. If you visit our website there is a description of experiences on offer.
We are open Tuesday through to Friday 10am to 3pm. Ideally we like to book our experiences in prior to arrival. If you have any further questions please don't hesitate to contact us through our website.
Thanks,
