Sara & Katie - Glassblowing Experience"Really interesting, informative and hands-on experience. Great to be able to make a keepsake and know we made it. Thank you!" Katie & Richard - Glassblowing ExperienceCourse Outline This is a great glassblowing 'taster' and introduction to the magic of glass. You will gather hot molten glass straight from the furnace and shape into two objects such as a blown bauble to hang and a colourful paperweight. Through hands-on making you will gain first-hand insight into this ancient craft that dates back thousands of years. A unique and exciting experience. Taster sessions (also known as Half-Day Glassblowing) are run in the morning at 10.30am or the afternoon at 2pm and last approximately two and a half hours. Two objects are made and depending on the day the objects will include a blown bauble and a paperweight.
