This fun and exciting hands-on workshop is designed to give participants a solid foundation of basic glassblowing techniques. Safety, tool functions and the core principles of manipulating glass will be explored. A member of our trained staff will demonstrate the basics of gathering glass from the furnace and creating simple forms, then assist each participant to create their own finished piece. No glassworking experience is required. This is a true "hot glass" experience.Be sure to hydrate before and during the workshop, wear close toed shoes and wear natural fibre clothing. While we appreciate humour, we do not tolerate horseplay of any kind, Gilbert Glassworks reserves the right to dismiss anyone whose conduct is deemed detrimental, without refund.
