blowfishglassart-courses | Glassblowing Full Day Masterclass

Start this class as a beginner and leave as a glass-making addict. In this full day workshop, you will learn each step of the glass blowing process from experienced and encouraging glassmaking experts in their inspiring studio!

With all of the materials, supplies and equipment needed to make your own glass provided in this workshop, learning to blow glass couldn’t be easier.

Although you’re building your technical skills, there’s still room in this workshop for creativity- after all, you're learning from top glass-blowing artists! With all the colours you could dream of, get experimental…

Things to remember

Although lunch in our full day course is included in the workshop, you’re welcome to bring along any food and drink with you or visit the on site cafe. It’s important to stay hydrated so make sure you bring along a bottle of water.

Please wear flat shoes…

When can I take my glass master pieces home?

All masterpieces need 12 hours to anneal (cool down) to room temperature in our kilns. Your glass pieces will be available the next day. If you are collecting, please contact Bethany at Blowfish Glass to arrange a collection date. If you have travelled for your course you also have the option to pay for postage.

Do you have to be a creative person

Everybody is born with creativity! Though you do not need to be an artist to take part in our experience. The beauty is that the history of glass has tried and tested all the techniques for us - it's like baking a cake, ill be there reading the recipe. You will still however have the chance to make the piece your own, its all about the experience, I can cater to you !

What a fantastic day - Bethany is such an excellent teacher, I couldn’t believe I could create my own glass blown pieces but with her support and encouragement we created 3 each. Lunch was a lovely experience eating outside by the canal and made the whole day very special.

I had the joy of attending the April class. I love glass and colour and blowing glass has been on my wish list for a long time. Bethany is an excellent teacher ....knowledgeable, patient and enthusiastic. There were 5 in our group.... she guided each of us individually in the making of 3 pieces each. The setting is also wonderful....full of character, lots to see, a great cafe and tables by the canal to rest. Bethany also provided a good picnic lunch which we ate by the canal. It's less than 24 hours since attending this class and I'm already looking at dates to do another one!
