Discover the enchanting realm of glassmaking with our acclaimed Glass Bird workshop, made accessible for all, all wrapped up neatly in this 30 minutes course. As one of the more popular choices, in this workshop you get to sculpt your very own vibrant glass bird – choose from the charming Robin, perky Wren or the delightful Blue Tit. No prior experience? No problem! This is the perfect introduction to the art of glass sculpting, providing a hands-on, one-on-one session that’s guaranteed to be a hoot!
This workshop is the perfect gateway into hot glass sculpting, providing a hands-on experience. With no prior experience required, it’s an opportunity that promises to be a delightful adventure! You’ll begin with the basics, learning to shape the hot glass and getting a feel for its unique properties. As your confidence grows, you’ll progress from crafting a simple, clear glass bird to more detailed and colourful designs.
By the session’s end, you’ll have the clear glass version to take home and also a more finished piece that showcases your newfound skills. This hands-on approach ensures that you leave with some beautiful glass sculptures and a deep appreciation for the craft.
After the workshop, your creation will require 2-3 days to cool down in the annealer. You have the option of home delivery* or collecting it at your convenience.
Closed-Toe Shoes: Protect your feet with sturdy footwear. Sandals or open-toed shoes are a no-go.
Natural Fibre Clothing: Opt for cotton attire, which is less flammable than synthetics, for your safety and comfort.
Protective Clothing: Protective Clothing: Wear long pants like jeans for leg protection. Avoid flowy attire, especially skirts. A fitted, long-sleeved t-shirt is best for heat protection, but short sleeves are okay too.
Hair Ties: Long hair should be tied back to avoid interference with your face or the flames.
Minimal Jewellery: Remove necklaces, bracelets and rings that could snag or conduct heat.
Safety Glasses: Provided by us, these are essential to shield your eyes from flying glass and bright lights.
Adhering to these guidelines will ensure you dress appropriately for a safe and enjoyable glass crafting experience. Let’s create something beautiful safely!
