You will spend the morning learning the basics of glassblowing such
as gathering glass from the furnace , shaping, forming, blowing, re-heating,
colour application, decoration and annealing.
In the afternoon you will put these process together to create your
own glass work. There are only two places on each course so you can work
at your own pace with help and assistaance from Emsie.

oven and can be collected later.
