In this workshop, you will learn the fascinating art of glass blowing from our brilliant artisans and make your very own handblown glass pieces: we offer three class options making either a bauble & a paperweight, a vessel & a paperweight or a bowl & a paperweight. This hands-on activity is a wonderful opportunity to be skilfully guided through the process of shaping and blowing exquisite glass pieces.
You will start by choosing from a variety of beautiful glass colours. Then, you'll learn how to use traditional tools such as the punty, blowing iron, jacks, glass tweezers, and marver to craft a unique paperweight and a bauble, small vessel or bowl. The workshops are designed to be a practical experience, ensuring everyone gets to work with molten glass with expert support and guidance by their side.

‘Make with Molten’ is the workshop arm of glassware brand Molten 1090, founded by sisters Laura and Emily Smith in 2022. Day-to-day we create handblown glass tableware, lighting and decorative objects with a circular design ethos, but we also open our Stoke Newington studio doors for hands-on workshops, inviting people to experience the ancient craft of glassblowing.
Our team of experienced glass artisans will lead you through this creative journey step by step, showing you how to use specialised tools, apply glass colour, and to shape and blow glass. You’ll make your own glass creations and (after they’ve cooled down in the kiln) have some beautiful handcrafted pieces to adorn your home.
