| Larger Groups and Bespoke Sessions |
| We also cater for larger groups and can tailor days to suit your individual requirements. Although the hot-shop glassblowing sessions are limited to a maximum of eight persons at a time, we can organise a programme where other activities are included such as glass fusing and sandcasting so that groups can be divided into teams to work in a variety or areas and with a variety of glassmaking techniques. This works well for teambuilding, works and club outings, hen/stag days or larger families. Participants get to try their hand at a skills and get the whole glass experience! |
