Craft a Vessel, Made By You
Dive into the captivating art of glassmaking with our Glass Vessel Workshop – a favourite for those seeking to craft something both beautiful and functional. Under the guidance of expert artisans, you'll shape molten glass into a unique creation of your choice: a tumbler, posy vase or bowl. Choose your colours, embrace your creativity, and watch as your vision comes to life. Whether you're crafting for yourself or sharing the experience, this workshop guarantees a treasured memory and a stunning result.
The Process
This one-hour session is ideal for one or two participants and offers a dedicated learning experience. With personalised guidance from your instructor, you'll master traditional techniques of shaping molten glass and adding colour to create one vessel per participant – or two if attending solo. After the workshop, your creations will need 2-3 days to cool before they are ready for collection or delivery.*
