This was a really enjoyable workshop and a great taster session for anybody interested in the art of glass blowing. Emily was really friendly introducing the group to the studio and the process (and providing snacks!) and Laura was very knowledgeable and supportive in enabling us to create a paperweight and bauble in a way that always felt safe and never too daunting. I'd be interested in going back for the more advanced session to learn more about the skills involved in this amazing craft.

I had such a wonderful time at the workshop yesterday! I came solo and Laura and Emily were so lovely, I immediately felt very welcome. I learned so much and really enjoyed getting to have a go at glassblowing. I would absolutely come back again for another workshop!

What a great experience this was. I have always been fascinated by glass blowing. Laura demonstrated how to make the Christmas bauble and then we made our own! We also made a paperweight, which is my favourite for sure. It was also fascinating just watching others work on their own baubles and paperweights. There were plenty of snacks to keep us busy too. At the end of the class there were also glasses of red and white to keep us happy. I'll definitely do this again, next time with my partner.
