Di Tocker is a sculptural glass artist living and working from her purpose built studio in Cambridge, in the Waikato.

Di maintains a structured approach to her art practice and business. She provides work for 5 galleries throughout New Zealand, and undertakes commissions for private residences and commercial projects. Di loves to connect with people who enjoy her glass work and welcomes visitors to her studio by appointment.

In this episode we chat about how Di discovered her love of working with glass and the ideas and narratives her work conveys.

Di very generously shares her complex glass casting process and guides us through her glass casting from design and polishing to managing colour and creating spaces and curves in her work. Di talks about studying glass sculpture in Australia and how that contributed to the artist she is today and why she likes to include figures in her work.

She shares her approach to the business side of being an artist, how she chooses galleries to work with, her love of making notes and keeping journals.

This is such an insightful episode, I learnt so much! Di has an inspiring approach to life as an artist - her journey is fascinating and she has so many great tips for creatives.
