Introduction to Glass Blowing Weekend Workshop
Come join us for a fun-filled weekend learning how to blow glass!
This comprehensive introductory workshop runs across 2 days during which you will learn the fundamental skills of glassblowing. Starting with gathering molten glass out of the furnace, on the first day you will learn how to shape the hot glass and add colour. The second day begins with blowing a bubble into the molten glass 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 ornament.
Introduction to glassblowing workshops are run on a monthly basis. We are currently taking bookings for:
19 - 20 July
27- 28 September
25 - 26 October
29 - 30 November
Class size is limited to 4 people so that everyone gets individual attention and enough time to work with the glass. We must have at least 3 people to run this workshop.
Introductory Weekend Workshop Part 2
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.
