Private Glassblowing Workshop for One
About the experience
Learn a new creative skill with a 1:1 Private Glass Blowing Workshop. When you arrive you will be welcomed with an introduction and safety brief. You will be taught how to use the different tools and how to gather the molten glass in the glassblowing furnace. After picking what colours and style you will be helped by your tutor to make a glass sphere, paperweight or vase. Once you have completed your final piece it needs to be cooled overnight, so you can pick up your creation at a later date or have it delivered to you. This is a perfect gift for the creative loved one in your life.
