“Lisa is a fabulous teacher who really knows how to make you feel relaxed and confident. I would highly recommend one of her classes to anyone and I will definitely be back.”

Jo-Anne Lewis · Fused Glass Bowl Workshop
★★★★★

“I bought the class as an 'experience' gift for my niece. We went together. The class was relaxing, and a simple concept to create something beautiful. Lisa, the teacher, ensured we all challenged ourselves learning how to cut glass. Some of our classmates were return visitors and I understand why.”

Questions

Good to know

I’ve never done anything like this. Is that OK?

Yes. Every class is beginner friendly. Lisa guides you through each step, and all the glass and tools are in the studio.

Can kids come?

Many classes suit kids from 5 years old, and an adult must come with them. The adult can watch for free.

What should I wear?

Closed-toe shoes. We provide an apron to wear throughout.

When can I take my piece home?

Your piece goes into the kiln after class. Once it’s fired you can pick it up from the studio or have it posted. Follow us on Instagram for pick-up times.

Can I book the studio for my group?

Yes. Private classes run for groups of 6 or more, and they’re popular for Christmas parties, team building, birthdays and hens. See private groups.
