Glass Paperweight Workshop

Join this glassblowing workshop in London and discover the magic of working with molten glass to create your very own unique paperweight. This hands-on session is a wonderful way to switch off from the daily grind and get back into a creative flow with the help of a seasoned glassmaker.You'll start the experience by taking molten glass from the furnace, where you'll have the chance to add vibrant colour chips of your choice. Once these have melted into the glass, you'll take a seat at the bench to begin the tactile process of shaping and moulding your design. Your teacher will be there every step of the way to offer support, finishing your piece by expertly encasing it in a layer of clear glass.It's a low-pressure environment where you can focus on the feel of the material and the joy of making something one-of-a-kind. By the end of the session, you'll have gained a fascinating insight into this ancient craft and created a beautiful keepsake that will brighten up any desk or shelf.Please note: Your paperweight will need to stay in the kiln for annealing overnight to ensure it cools safely. You can return to collect your finished piece at a later date, or it can be posted to you for a small additional charge.
