Rotorua, New Zealand. Rotorua is known for its geysers, thermal activity and Maori culture. It is also famous for de Flute Glass where visitors, from the safety of the gallery, can watch molten glass being blown and transformed into unique glass art. The catch phrase of Rotorua .... Manaakitanga is, "Feel the Spirit". This captures the mistique of Maori culture and the geothermal drama of the region. No where is the energy and colour of the area more vividly expressed than in the creations hand-blown by the team of master glass blowers than at the studio of de Flute Glass.
