ATELIER

Omura Glass Art Studio is located in Shibayama Town in Chiba Prefecture which is about 15 minutes drive from Narita International Airport.
The surrounding is suitable for art work creation - in front of the studio, you can see a wide spread of rice field, and in the backyard, a bamboo grove.
Here, you can concentrate on creation of the work, feeling the changes of the seasons.

Also, the studio is equipped with various facilities such as furnace 200kg, Glowry hole 80cm, Anealing kiln 120cm, etc.
All of their sizes are big enough for large size work, which are rarely seen in a regular glass studio, unlimiting the imagination for creation.
