An interesting day making a glass paper weight. Excellent attention to detail and safety issues. Two friendly tutors who were able to step in immediately if we were struggling with anything. A fascinating time learning to manage molten glass. Thank you

A brilliant day I would highly recommend this to anyone who like myself has ever watched glassmaking demonstrations and thought they would love to try. A full on day spent with two friendly professional glassmakers who explained and encouraged as we worked through from gathering glass from the furnace to completing our lovely paperweights.

This is a fascinating, engaging opportunity to work with a master of glassblowing and to learn from his passion, knowledge and experience. I was amazed by how quickly I was able to start trying things out myself. We were very fortunate in that half of our group dropped out so we got a huge amount of attention. It was a different and exciting day.
