Create Three Stunning Glass Pieces
Join our Glass Trio Workshop and create unique glass pieces: a Glass Bird, Vessel and Bauble. In the session, you'll have the opportunity to customise each item with your choice of colours and designs. Whether you're new to glassmaking or have some experience, this workshop lets you explore a range of techniques. From sculpting a charming glass bird to crafting a functional vessel and blowing a beautiful bauble, you'll leave with three one-of-a-kind creations.
The Process
With personalised guidance from our expert glassmakers in this one-on-one session, your experience will be tailored to your comfort level, allowing you to immerse yourself in the creative process fully. Here's what you can look forward to during this workshop:
Create a Glass Bird: Learn to pull and sculpt molten glass to create your very own bird. Choose from the Red Robin, Blue Tit or Wren, and add your unique colours and design. This hands-on experience will teach you the basics of shaping hot glass.
Craft a Vessel: Explore the art of glassblowing as you create your own vase, tumbler or posy vase. Shape molten glass with expert guidance to form a functional yet beautiful piece that's entirely your own. Perfect for adding a personal touch to your kitchen and home.
Blow a Bauble: Try your hand at glass blowing to create a bauble – perfect for year-round display or festive decorations. This step introduces you to the art of blowing and shaping glass into a beautiful ornament.
Throughout the session, you'll discover how colours and patterns interact with molten glass, making each piece truly one-of-a-kind. You're free to choose your own colour combinations for each creation. After the session, your pieces will need 2-3 days to cool before they're ready for collection or delivery.*
Dress Code for Glass-Making
Closed-Toe Shoes: Essential for foot protection; no sandals or open-toed shoes.
Natural Fibre Clothing: Wear cotton for better heat resistance than synthetic fabrics.
Protective Attire: Long pants (like jeans) and a fitted long-sleeved top are ideal. Avoid flowy outfits or skirts. Short sleeves are acceptable.
Hair: Secure long hair to keep it away from your face and flames.
Minimal Jewellery: Remove accessories that could snag or conduct heat.
Safety Glasses: Provided on-site to protect your eyes.
Following these guidelines ensures a safe and enjoyable experience.
