Di Tocker

Di Tocker is an acclaimed glass artist known for her distinctive and captivating figurative cast glass sculptures.

Working from her purpose-built studio in Waikato, New Zealand, Di Tocker creates skillful figurative cast glass sculptures.

Her works often centre on the human form, inviting reflection on themes of memory, connection, and the quiet moments that shape our shared experience.

Central to Tocker’s process is the lost-wax casting method: each piece begins with a wax model, sacrificed in the casting stage to form detailed glass forms. Following casting, she meticulously hand-polishes the many facets of each sculpture, achieving the radiant, jewel-like finish synonymous with her work.

Tocker holds a Bachelor of Fine Arts (Glass) and has garnered recognition throughout her career, including the Swarbrick Dixon Award for Excellence and selection for the esteemed Ranamok Glass Prize. Her sculptures are held in private collections worldwide.
