Craft a Vessel That's Uniquely You
Your Glass, Your Way
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 with a loved one, this workshop guarantees a treasured memory and a stunning result.

Why This Workshop is Special
This one-hour session is ideal for one or two participants, offering an intimate 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 cool for 2-3 days before being ready for collection or delivery.*

Dress Code for Glass Crafting
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 Ties: 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. Let's create something amazing together!
