Toni Tittleton
Profile
Toni produces glass art sculptures from her rural studio, in Auckland New Zealand. She has been working with glass since graduating from Whanganui School of Glass in 2012, specialising in cast & kiln formed glass.
Over the years, her sculptures have been exhibited and purchased by collectors across NZ. She has learnt from & worked along-side some of New Zealand's very best female glass casters including, Ann Robinson, Gala Amsel & Carmen Simmons. Toni is a fiercely creative and incredibly determined artist. Getting to this stage in her career has taken constant diligence and she is a proud member of a very small community of NZ glass artisans.
