Glass Blowing Weekend
Keen to learn glassblowing?
Introduction to Glass Blowing Weekend Workshop
2 Days ● $850 NZD ● Ages 16+
Come join us for a fun-filled weekend learning how to blow glass!
This introductory workshop runs across 2 days during which you will learn the fundamental skills of glassblowing. Starting with learning to gather molten glass out of the furnace, on the first day you will make a clear and a coloured paperweight while learning how to shape the hot glass and add colour. The second day begins with blowing a bubble into the molten glass making an ornament and we finish the day making your own tumblers.
By the end of the weekend, each student will have five pieces of their own; 2 paperweights, 2 tumblers, and a small blown ornament.
Introduction to Glassblowing Weekend Workshop - Part 2
2 Days ● $850 NZD ● Ages 16+
Keen to continue your glassblowing journey? We offer a second weekend instalment for students who have completed an introductory workshop at our studio or a comparable class at another hot shop.
In this two day class, we will focus on building hand skills with a variety of tools - the tweezers, jacks, and marver. Day one consists of a series of small sculpted objects to build your confidence, including a flower and a bird, and on day two you will experiment with blown glass vases using the tools you mastered on day one.
