In just 30 minutes, you’ll transform molten glass into a beautiful, hand-sculpted bird during this hands-on workshop. Choose from three delightful designs – a Robin, Wren or Blue Tit – and enjoy a one-to-one experience guided by our expert glassmakers. Perfect for beginners, no prior knowledge is needed, and you’ll leave with a unique handmade keepsake to treasure.
🔥 The Process
This workshop is the perfect introduction to the art of hot glass sculpting. Starting with clear glass, you’ll master the fundamentals of shaping and working with molten glass. You’ll then add your unique touch to craft a vibrant and colourful bird. By the end of your session, you’ll have two creations: a clear glass bird to showcase your technique, and a colourful masterpiece to highlight your new skills. After the workshop, your creations will take 2-3 days to cool before they are ready for collection or delivery.*
