The Land of the Long White Cloud is made for those who love to learn and explore and when you jet off to New Zealand on your locum tenens assignment one of the best places to do both is at the Wanganui Glass School.
The Wanganui region is home to the nation's thriving community of glass artists, with more than 30 established specialists residing in the area. While the school offers a bachelor's degree in mastering this craft, more casual courses are available that allow you to at least scratch the surface of the art. During the summer, the school offers intensive workshops in kiln-formed glass, as well as glass blowing, which is a highly popular program for all ages.
Situated in Wanganui, the school is one of the dozens of cultural treasures you'll find when you visit the city. Galleries and studios featuring glass art and other works, as well as an arts trail that starts at the Wanganui Visitor Center, can provide you with an extensive look at the sculptures, homeware, paintings and other art forms found in the region.
