Arts and Crafts Experience Days: This glassblowing workshop will teach you the fundamentals of an art form that dates back thousands of years.
Learn how to blow molten glass using a traditional blowing iron and tools—and once annealed and cooled you can collect your one-of-a-kind masterpiece or choose to have it posted for a small fee!Classes are held at a creative glass studio in Ampthill, Bedfordshire.
They’re led by an experienced artist and glassblower who’ll begin the session with a full safety briefing.
Groups are kept small to ensure everyone receives plenty of one-to-one guidance throughout.
Your instructor will introduce a variety of glassblowing tools before demonstrating how to gather molten glass from the furnace.
Using the blowing iron, you’ll learn how to glass blow and shape the molten glass into a sphere, paperweight or vase.
You can also apply patterns and colours by rolling the blown glass over a selection of coloured powders and grits.
After a few finishing touches, you’ll be left with eye-catching bespoke glass pieces to display in your home.
The Saturday Beginners Glassblowing Lesson is a great opportunity to try something new, and it would make a unique experience gift for a crafty loved one.
