Canberra Glassworks marks 20 years on its Kingston site this month with a free public open day on Saturday from 10 am to 4 pm.

The hot shop will run continuous demonstrations and a silent auction of recent student work, with proceeds funding next year's residencies.

A retrospective exhibition tracing two decades of resident artists opens in the Engine Room next week and runs through August.

The Glassworks remains the only public-access hot glass studio of its kind in Australia.
