If you’ve always wanted to have a go at Glass Blowing , stop thinking about it and book a full day Masterclass with Bethany @ Blowfish Glass. I had and absolutely amazing day, learnt so much and made 3 pieces , a paperweight, bowl and vase (can’t wait to pick them up ) Bethany is fantastic and patient and is with you every step of the way (as was Katie, also fabulous)
Thank you for helping me fulfil a dream of having a go a glass blowing after so many years of wanting to do it!!
I will most definitely be back for more courses, thank you again 🥰😁
Everything about the day was amazing.
Stunning glass shop in a really lovely surrounding.
Couldn't have wished for two better Glass artists to introduce us to this than Bethany & Katie. They were both outstanding in their ability to explain & support. Both so patient & knowledgeable. No questions were unanswered & we came away with a real respect for what glass blowing entails & also an understanding of how to do the basics.
Highly recommended.
What an incredible experience! I was so looking forward to this Xmas present and it was even better than I expected. We made three pieces of glass using a variety of techniques and were guided and encouraged at every step. I'd explained that I suffered from arthritis and both Beth and Katie were able to support me when needed. I would recommend this to anyone, you don't need to be wonderful at crafts, just willing to have a go!
Had a fantastic day learning some of the basics of glassblowing with Beth and Katie on their Full Day Glassblowing class. Would 10000% recommend this and them to anyone who is interested in learning about glassblowing or just wants a fun creative day! Great as a gift for someone who likes creative activites as well. Beth and Katie were very welcoming, great teachers, and told us some really interesting things about what it's like to work in glassblowing. Had the best time! Can't wait to get a chance to do something like this again, ideally with the artists/teachers at Blowfish. Thanks Beth & Katie!
Entering the Blowfish Glass Studio was very exciting & a course in making Caned Fruit was brilliant. Great team all working together to achieve some amazing results. Would definitely sign up again & recommend a new challenge with a divine piece of Glass Art! Elliot & Beth are so easy & pleasant to work with. Looking forward to my next Masterclass. Thanks a mil. X
This day exceeded all my expectations of what I could achieve in a day as a complete beginner. Beth and Katie were fantastic teachers and I felt completely confident under their tutelage. They were both safety aware at all times and yet managed to create a relaxed and fun atmosphere for the whole day. I would highly recommend! A brilliant day.
Being a glass artist myself it has been on my list to try my hand at glass blowing. I was not disappointed. Such a great day with Beth and Katie who led the workshop. Their experience, knowledge and enthusiasm created a well organised, creative day with a relaxed yet fun atmosphere and great results from us all. Thank you so much, I look forward to returning. x
Super event with amazing artists who make you feel welcome and fill you in with everything you need to know about glass. Loved the day and the 3 glass pieces I made. Truly amazing!
This is the 3rd Mayer class I’ve done with Elliott and Bethany so I guess you could say I’m addicted, just waiting for the next one. Amazing experiences with the most amazingly talented people who just want to share what they do and boy are they great at what they do. For all those sitting on the fence don’t wait give it a go you’ll be truly amazed at what you can produce
Fantastic hosts, fantastic experience, learning new skills and developing greater awareness of the techniques involved - what a wonderful day. Thank you.
In just a few words, this is the best course, run by the nicest and most skilled and passionate people for their art you'll ever encounter.
Elliot imagination and knowledge is world class, backed by his amazing partner Beth, who is so skilled, attentive, and they just want you to have the best experience.
In addition you will experience what real teamwork is.
Cripes, I love this experience, and just cannot thank Elliot and Beth enough.
My 3rd experience with them and I'll certainly be doing more in 2024.
What can I say - every time I go back for a glassblowing day at Blowfish, it gets better. Bethany and Elliot were absolutely incredible, showing us various techniques over two days, enabling us all to walk away with beautiful fruit made out of folded glass and pulled cane. I can't wait to go back!
Wowee, what can we say other than a MASSIVE thank you to Beth & Elliot for delivering the best workshop we've ever been on to date. What an absolute amazing experience and opportunity to be taught a masterclass by these two hugely tallented artists.
On our weekend workshop, we were taught how to make a fruit of our choice where at the end, it will be cut in half to show the interesting cross section inside.
You'd never appreciate the amount of thinking and planning that goes into each piece of the process until you have a go yourself! Then you do! It's all completely mindblowing and just makes you want to learn more!
Can't wait for the next course.
Thanks Beth & Elliot for such an inspiring and memorable weekend.

An eye opening experience to something new and unique that I had never tired before but was very intrigued on the process on making different types of glass. I recommend this to anyone who's open to something new and can handle a little heat :)
I bought the workshop as a present for my husband for being so supportive in my own glass journey. As soon as he watched Blown Away on netflicks, he was hooked and fascinated by the skill so I thought it was only fair to support him with his interest.
We both thoroughly enjoyed our experience. It was even better than we imagined.
Bethany and Katie are amazingly patient and fun to spend time with. We were taught three different skills and are already proud of what we achieved in a day.
We are booked on the masterclass with Elliot next and can't recommend these guys enough.
Thank you Bethany & Katie for making our day a fabulous one to remember.

A fantastic day with excellent tutors. Beth and Katie are incredibly knowledgeable and skilled and are excellent teachers. Thoroughly enjoyed the day and looking forward to receiving my finished pieces.
The full day glass blowing was a gift to my husband after being hooked on the Netflix series Blown Away. It was a brilliant day and fascinating to experience glass blowing at first hand. We were guided through each process safely and in an enjoyably relaxed way and we each made made three uniquely personal glass pieces throughout the day. Thank you so much Bethany and Katie We're still hooked! 😊
Absolutely amazing day, didn’t want it to end!! Small group with two instructors (Kath and Beth). Great atmosphere and great conversations/ discussions about glass blowing. We made three items - a paper weight , bowl and a drinking glass. I’ve now got the bug and will be booking the return beginnners class.
Oh a lunch was lovely too 😁
AMAZING day! I could not recommend this experience more! Beth and Kate are amazing, the engagement and learning in this fabulous.
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!
A really good day. The Blowfish Team, Elliot and Bethany, were very good at getting the skills across. Enjoyed making the three items; posted and arrived safely to my home 4 days later.
Blowfish make some amazing stuff. Well worth a look.
Fantastic one day course in Glass blowing. Bethany and Eliot were so passionate and brilliant teachers. We did this as a group of friends. Highly recommend this.
Really fantastic workshop
An impressive set up , professional competent and caring coaching from Bethany . A truly awesome enlightening experience of the amazing world of glass blowing .. blowfish style !
The full day beginner masterclass was a fabulous experience. I'd wanted to try glass blowing for a long time and finally had the opportunity.
I was in a group of 5 and the instructor, Katie had an assistant, Olivia. Katie was brilliant. It was obvious that she was very experienced and talented. She was hyper aware of what was going on around her, with 5 complete novices to keep an eye on and she kept us all super safe - no injuries from the extremely hot furnaces and glass. The instruction was spot on and was delivered confidently and with humour. I was feeling very tired by the end of the 6 hours, while Katie was alert to the end.
The lunch was a lovely buffet style and gave us a chance to chat and learn about what had brought us all to Blowfish at the Red House Glass Cone for this experience. I am a local though 2 participants had travelled from Warwick and another from Germany!
I am excited to collect my 3 finished pieces in a couple of weeks to see how the colours turn-out when they have cooled. I thoroughly recommend this experience to anyone wanting to experience glass blowing or any creative glass activity.
This was my second master class with Elliot and Beth again they were fabulous turning my idea s into a reality. Met some great people, had a fab weekend, can’t wait to get my hat home but more importantly can’t wait for the next one.
If you have tried it you’ve got to give it a go you’ll be me as obsessed as the rest of us.
Absolutely brilliant weekend, great partnership between Elliot and Beth, very hands on weekend, detailed explanation of techniques and help every step of the way. I would thoroughly recommend this to anyone. Superb!!
What an amazing experience this was, if I had read the instructions I would have been better prepared but it certainly showed me what seriously gifted glass artists Elliot and Beth are, thinking on their feet, not once saying that cannot be done (or are you out of your mind) the best experience I have done and sorry Elliot and Beth I think I am very likely to come and do it all over again. Lovely days full of learning, teamwork, glass handling and blowing, talking about the experiences they have as artists, the passion they have for the industry and just wanting to teach others, oh and let's not forget Walter. I was just "blown away" an experience I will never forget and just maybe go and study at the ripe old age of 62. Thank you so much!!!
Absolutely brilliant, not just any old glassblowing experience, we got to work with top flight international glass artists who were so generous and friendly. We love our creations and can't believe the day whizzed by so quickly, really exciting. The one to one tuition plus watching everyone elses experineces meant we produced pieces to be proud of. We will be back!
Me and my partner thoroughly enjoyed our days glass blowing and are very excited to receive the items we made. Everything is demonstrated and explained well and you are helped every step of the way when making your glass items . I definitely recommend this course.
Absolutely brilliant day with lovely folks doing the teaching & making it a fascinating and fun experience. Would thoroughly recommend to anyone wanting to try something new & different
Absolutely outstanding. Beth is such a great teacher, and the glassblowing was so much fun. I would recommend this workshop to anyone.
So much fun! Bethany was an excellent teacher and so nice. I had an excellent time
My sister and I absolutely loved this course. It was so enjoyable and really hands on. Beth, Kate and Eleri were all fab, we had such a laugh but felt completely safe and looked after at the same time. It's safe to say we're hooked and will be returning as soon as we can!
Absolutely amazing course, instructor was perfect and had the best time!
What a fantastic, fun day! The workshop looks amazing, situated right in the middle of an area full of history for glass makers - museums, shops, old kilns...
Beth made us feel warm and welcome, and Huskie was an incredible instructor who helped us craft some fantastic pieces (even if you are a total beginner like me). There was a clear progression through the day, and everyone was engaged and having fun.
I honestly can't wait to come back!
A truly once in a lifetime experience!
If you thought glassblowing was only for people with strong muscles, it's just the weight of the broom, and it's a beautiful art full of gentle movement working with this wonderful material. This course was a full day of making and helping in a small group and taking home you own design. The lunch was fab, the fun with the experts and people was great, high highly high recommends this course if you fancy learning glass blowing!!!
From start to finish this was such a great course! Learnt so many new skills and knowledge from the experts and it was lovely to meet new people. Definitely recommend. The location is lovely too and the lunches provided were top!
Amazing. We had no experience before and they took us through all the steps and guided and helped where needed. We loved making the candle, and they both came out brilliantly.
Really enjoyed the glassblowing course, would recommend it to anyone wanting a try.
Glassblowing has been a long held fascination for me and this workshop did not disappoint! Beth is a great teacher, constantly encouraging, directing and complimenting. Lots of hands-on time, flexibility with colours, designs , shapes etc - and time flies by! Great set up - small and personal - can’t wait to see my 3 unique glass pieces (paperweight, bowl and glass) when they’re posted back to me after cooling. Already looking to return to feed my fascination!
Had a brilliant two days at blowfish. Bethany and Elliot are just fab great bunch of students some great makes definitely recommend it
From the moment I arrived, I knew it was going to be a great day! We were all made to feel so very welcome, like Bethany was just happy sharing hot shop with us newbies. A perfect combination of relaxed and fun but with the right amount of technical info thrown in. Bethany's passion and skill shines through when she's demonstrating (and talking at the same time, she makes it look so easy!) and everyone in the group was able to achieve some fabulous glass objects to treasure forever. Can not recommend these sessions enough, I know I'll be back.

Wow, what a fantastic day!
Booked a one day glass blowing course with my Daughter & we both absolutely loved it.
Beth was so great at making what is a complex process seem easy & helped us through every step.
I am so pleased with the volume of glass blowing we each did, a paper weight, a bowl, a vase & a bauble.
Can't wait to see the final results arrive in the post.
Thanks Beth.
