Description

Whether you're looking to indulge in a private experience or share this exquisite art form with loved ones, my workshops can accommodate your desires. Enjoy the freedom of a one-on-one session or bring along up to 2 companions to enhance the sense of camaraderie and shared discovery. This is a private booking so regardless of how many people you decide to bring, your class will not be filled with anyone you don't know. Your safety is my utmost priority, and hence, we will begin each workshop with a comprehensive introduction and thorough safety instructions. Armed with knowledge, you will step into the mesmerizing realm of glassblowing, wielding the tools and techniques with confidence. During the workshop, the expectations will vary slightly based on the number of participants. If you choose to attend with a group of three, each individual will have the opportunity to create a beautiful bauble and a small blown item such as a drinking glass, tumbler, vase, or bowl. For those embarking on this artistic adventure as a duo, you will not only create the aforementioned pieces but also delve into the intricate art of crafting your very own paperweight. This additional item will serve as a cherished memento of your shared experience. Individual sessions offer unparalleled flexibility. As the sole participant, I can tailor the workshop to suit your preferences. Once we have covered the fundamentals, we can venture into larger and more complex designs, bringing your artistic vision to life. On the day of your session, we will discuss the possibilities in detail, ensuring a personalized and fulfilling experience. At AshmoreArtGlass, I believe in fostering a nurturing and immersive environment where your creativity can flourish. With expert guidance and a passion for the craft, I aspire to provide an unforgettable glassblowing experience that will leave you with not only breathtaking creations but also a newfound appreciation for this captivating art form. Book your half day workshop today and unleash your inner artist amidst the radiant glow of molten glass.
