Jan Kocian
Jan Kocian brings unique techniques and experience to the New Zealand glass-blowing community. His hand-made works of art have been skillfully formed in the searing 1100º C heat of the purpose built kiln in his rustic Coromandel township studio. Jan blows and sculpts his glass actively, standing rather than sitting at a table, and uses a range of wooden blocks to smoothly shape blown pieces and purpose built steel tools for sculpting. Captivated by glass and its form from the moment he watched a glowing vessel emerge from a blazing kiln, Jan completed five years of formal study in traditional glass blowing in his native Czech Republic, then further developed his skills in various European studios. 

Master Czech glassblower Petr Novotny has been a significant influence in Jan's career. The advice and knowledge that Petr imparted has inspired and guided Jan into a truly gifted glassblower.
