What happens in this class?

If you've experienced a beginners class with Blowfish and would like to learn more, whether it be to have more hands on practise, or to simply create more masterpieces, I've put together a returning program. For the returning program we work on Art with a Purpose. Spending more time on the form planning and colour preperation, with an aim of quality over quantity. What will you be making? A choice of a mould blown drinking glass, a cooking oil decanter, a soap dispenser or an oil candle. With the openings for the soap and/or the oil decanter…

I had an absolutely fabulous day at the returning beginners Masterclass on Sunday 7th May with Bethany. We were given the opportunity to improve our skills by trying lots of different techniques , like joining 2 separate pieces of glass together and making an object that has to be the correct size for a stopper to fit inside. Beth was wonderful explaining each and every step and demonstrating each piece for us to do. If you’ve done the beginners class don’t hesitate to book on a returning beginners class you’ll have an amazing day😊 I absolutely cannot wait to book for another glassmaking day , I am well and truly hooked. Beth you’re an absolute star. Thanks again . X

2 for 2! It's the second time I have attended the courses at Blowfish, and Katherine and Bethany are just incredible - knowledgeable, funny, great instructors with a lot of patience. You get to spend the whole day learning and trying glassblowing techniques with incredible glassblowers and bring home some pretty mementoes. The workshop is clean, organized, and really well equipped, and you are surrounded by glassblowing history. If you are curious about glassblowing, cannot recommend enough!

We thoroughly enjoyed our “returning session”. Both Beth and Kate were very welcoming, are great teachers and are clearly passionate about their glassblowing art, which comes through in their enthusiasm to teach. We built on the basic skills we learnt in our first session and made three pieces of varying complexity. We would recommend this course to anyone who wants to learn more about glassblowing and have fun while doing it!
