A day of glassblowing with Emsie Sharp.

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.

The pieces you create will need to spend 24 hours in the annealing oven and can be collected later.
