What is a Creative Glass Making Class?
This workshop uses lampworking, a traditional glass technique where glass rods are heated in a flame and shaped using hand tools. Unlike large-scale glassblowing, lampwork focuses on precise, small-scale forms — perfect for gifts, decorations, and personalised keepsakes.
During the session, you'll learn to control molten glass safely, shape and balance forms, add decorative colour layers, personalise your design, and create small sculptural or decorative pieces — all guided step-by-step by an experienced tutor.
A Creative Workshop for Every Occasion
Unlike standard structured classes, this workshop lets you design around a theme or special moment.

Celebration Keepsakes

Seasonal Decorations

Reviews from ClassBento
Booked this as a Valentine's experience and it was absolutely perfect — we both loved making our own glass pieces together.
Made a glass ornament for my mum as a Mother's Day gift — she was so touched. The tutor was brilliant and patient.
Such a unique birthday activity! Everyone in our group made something different and we all left with beautiful keepsakes.
