Step into the heat of the glass studio and create your own hand-blown glass tumbler on this exciting half-day glassblowing experience.

Working with molten glass gathered straight from the furnace, you’ll discover how this extraordinary material moves, stretches and transforms. Add colour, shape the form, blow the glass and open it into a unique drinking vessel of your own.

This is a lively, hands-on session led by our skilled glassblowers, with clear demonstrations and support throughout. You’ll experience the rhythm and energy of the hot shop while learning some of the fundamental skills used in glassblowing.

Each participant will make one glass tumbler during the session. You may also have the chance to assist others in the group, although this is not compulsory. The result is a beautiful hand-blown tumbler made by you — and what you put in it afterwards is entirely your choice.

This session is ideal as a creative present, a memorable experience to enjoy by yourself, or something special to share as a couple or with friends. It also makes a great follow-on session for anyone who has already taken part in one of our introductory glassblowing experiences.

------------------

Sessions run in the morning at 10.30am or in the afternoon at 2pm and last approximately two and a half hours.

Please note: due to time constraints, we are unable to make bespoke objects during this session. If you are interested in creating a particular object or would like more individual tuition, please see our Hire and Private Tuition page.

Your finished tumbler will need to cool slowly in our annealing kiln and will be ready for collection at a later date or posting.
