Ever wanted to try your hand at glass blowing?

We run a range of Glass blowing courses so why not give it a try?

All Glass making experiences include an introduction to the hot glass making process, the tools and equipment that are required to melt, reheat and cool the glass during the process.

We will also show you the colours we will use and examples of patterns it’s possible to achieve. We will also go through safety procedures since we will be working with very hot tools and molten glass, around +1160°c.

All our classes are for beginners but you have to be minimum 16y to take part and you have to be relatively fit and able to stand on your feet for a length of time.

If you got any health issues please contact us before booking.

Please note we don’t run classes in January, April, July and August.

There are a couple of spaces left in spring 2025 and classes for autumn will be added in December 2024. We have 2 cancellations on the Solid &Hollow class Saturday 23rd Nov 2024!
