Our Studio

Ruth Allen - Glass Epicentre is situated in Coburg North, Melbourne and is Victoria's premier destination for art glass training and craftsmanship. 

Equipped with a hot glass furnace, kilns, cold working machinery, and facilities for woodworking, metalworking, and ceramics, the studio supports a wide range of artistic endeavours. 

Our Glass Epicentre fosters a dynamic community of glass enthusiasts and practitioners while safeguarding the future of this endangered, specialised artform. It serves as a space where Ruth and her team not only create signature works, but also collaborate and facilitate artists, architects, and designers to bring diverse visions to life.
