Glassblowing workshop for two

Experience the incredible art of glass blowing with talented artisan Phoebe, in her South East London studio. 

As you are warmly welcomed into Gather Studio by Phoebe and her team, you will be introduced to the craft, showing examples of what you could make during your day. Before diving into the hands-on experience, a member of the team will give a brief overview of the health and safety of this particular art form, which has to be practiced with care and respect. 

Then it's time for some decision making! Working as a pair, you'll have the opportunity to choose your coloured glass from the studio's wide offering. From muted tones to monochrome to bright and bold, the world is your oyster!

Now it's time to get hands on. First learn the technique of 'collecting' the molten glass from the furnace, then it's time to learn the shaping technique. With the team's guidance, you'll try your hand at blowing your unique glass form, manipulating it into the design you have in mind. Whether you're an experienced artist or a total beginner, the supportive approach will ensure that everyone creates something special that they are proud of.

During the workshop, as a pair, you will work together to create your piece of glass. Once finished, your masterpiece will need to cool slowly overnight to ensure its durability. You can then collect it from the studio 48 hours after the course or, for added convenience, have it couriered for a small fee of £15 per box.

Join Phoebe in her workshop, make amazing memories and discover the fascinating world of glassblowing!
