Glassblowing Lessons

Follow our blog click here "Thank you both for making Saturday such a memorable and enjoyable experience. Dan and I had a wonderful time and thank you for being so patient with a slow learner, making us both feel so welcome in your home and feeding us so well." Lessons Available 2012... 9am - 5pm cost £160.00 per person including lunch. February Sat 4 - Full Sat 11 - 2 available Sat 18 - 2 available March Sat 10 - Full Sat 17 - Full Experience the heat, fun and excitement of glassblowing yourself! Maximum students per session are 2 so the teaching and hands on experience is intensive and you will get a lot out of the lesson. You will come away with something you have actually made too! After a short safety talk the first thing you will do is to gather the hot glass from the furnace and learn how to control and shape the glass, Malcolm will demonstrate first and then you will have a go. Most students will be able to complete one or maybe two pieces during the morning and two more in the afternoon, although there is no guarantee. In the beginning, success depends a lot on luck and a little on your abilities. You are guaranteed to have fun and experience the excitement of hot molten glass which is what attracted Malcolm to it in the first place. Anything you make you can of course keep but it has to cool down overnight so you will have to collect it the following day or it can be posted at cost. Drinks are provided during the session and if you are attending for the whole day then a simple lunch is included, home made soup with bread, cheese and fruit. Sorry but we can't teach anyone under 16. We may be able to arrange a Monday lesson.

"Thank you so much for an exciting and memorable experience of glass blowing. I learnt a great deal and there was a moment when it all 'clicked' and I could see how the whole process could become seriously addictive" "We just had to let you know how much we enjoyed our lesson, it totally exceeded our expectations. We feel privileged to have had an insight into the workings of your glass studio and would definately like to come again." "Just to say how much we enjoyed our glass blowing lesson. Whilst Malcolm need not worry that we will constitute competition we are very proud of our efforts! Thank you for a great time." "Thank you for a most enjoyable day, I was so pleased to be able to come away with such wonderful glass I produced with expert guidance." "Many thanks for a great day - we are pleased with our first efforts and would like to do more - well worth the trip from east to west coast."
