The experience lasts about 30 mins per person. We start off with a studio briefing then a glass blowing demonstration before you make a piece of glass of your own. Our skilled Fijian glass blowers will guide you through the process and give as much or little help you may need to create your glass.

You can choose to make either a Vase, Tumbler, Bowl or Dish in the colours of your choice. For the younger glass makers we also offer the option of a paperweight.

TIps and info beforE you visit

In the studio we ask all guests to wear shoes for obvious reasons! Its best to wear cotton clothing rather than anything manmade, flappy & flammable  –  we provide gloves and an apron. It is often hot so we have fans to move the air around and at any point if you feel hot we can take a break.

You are welcome to bring friends and family along if they are not doing an experience – it is free to visit the studio and is fascinating to watch. The hot shop is a working studio with lots of exciting projects which the team will tell you all about. We also have a gallery on site which has many of our hand blown glass pieces displayed and for sale.

The Studio is open from Monday through to Friday 10am to 3pm.

Frequently Asked Questions: Glassblowing Experiences & Studio Visits

What is the Hot Glass Fiji experience?

Hot Glass Fiji is Fiji’s first and only hand-blown glass studio, located along the Sunset Strip in Korotogo on the Coral Coast of Viti Levu. Guests work directly alongside expert Fijian glassblowers to craft their own unique glass art piece—such as marine art, paperweights, shells, or traditional Fijian motifs—to take home as a memorable souvenir.

Who can participate in a glassblowing workshop?

Our glassblowing experiences are suitable for adults and children aged 7 years and older. No prior glassworking or artistic experience is required. Younger children can participate by creating solid glass items like paperweights or custom handprints.

How much does a glassblowing experience cost and how long does it take?

We offer two core workshop options:

  • Hot Glass Experience: F$255 FJD per person (approx. 30 minutes per participant). Suitable for individuals and small groups up to 8 people.
  • Extended Glassblowing Experience: F$510 FJD per person (approx. 1 hour per participant). Designed for deeper creative participation (max 4 participants per session).

Note: All experience pricing is in Fijian Dollars (FJD).

When can I collect my finished glass artwork?

All hot glass creations require overnight annealing (a gradual cooling process inside the kiln) to ensure strength and durability. Your completed artwork will be ready for pickup at our Korotogo studio the following business day.

What if I cannot return to the studio the next day to pick up my glass?

If you are unable to collect your item in person, we offer two delivery options:

  • Fiji Resort Courier: Direct delivery to your resort or hotel within Fiji (takes approximately 2 working days; additional fee applies).
  • International Shipping: Express DHL shipping direct to your home address overseas (additional fee applies).

Where is Hot Glass Fiji located and what are your opening hours?

Our studio and gallery are located on Sunset Strip, Korotogo, Coral Coast, Viti Levu, Fiji—just a short drive from major Coral Coast resorts including Outrigger Fiji Beach Resort and Shangri-La Yanuca Island.

Studio & Gallery Hours: Monday through Friday, 10:00 AM to 3:00 PM (or by appointment at other times).
