Hands-on, beginner-friendly glass workshops in a fully equipped studio, led by internationally recognised glass artist Lisa Cahill. Bring friends, family or the kids, and take home a piece you made yourself.
Small classes in a working glass studio. You cut, arrange or paint the glass, Lisa fires it in the kiln, and your piece is ready to pick up or post after firing.
Our Glass Candy Pocket Hearts reel passed one million views on Instagram. In the Pocket Heart class you cut, layer and combine coloured glass into three hearts of your own: one for you, one for someone you love, and one for a Christmas present.
Pick from trays of coloured glass, shapes and textures in the studio.
Lisa shows you how to cut, grind and layer glass. Beginners welcome.
Your piece is fired in the kiln, which brings out its colours and textures.
Pick it up from the studio or have it posted to you.
Book the studio for your own group and we’ll tailor a relaxed glass-making session for you. No experience needed. BYO drinks and snacks for the evening sessions.
“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.”
“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.”
“Nine of us recently participated in a private fused glass bowl workshop. It was excellent and we all had a great time!”
“Lisa was an excellent instructor, she has a beautiful studio space and it was easy to find with the instructions. My daughter (8) and I really enjoyed the class as we found it relaxing and creative.”
“We would highly recommend this class. Lisa was very accommodating and nothing was a problem.”
“Lisa’s class was fun and really well suited to anyone who hasn’t done any glass work before.”
“Another fantastic workshop with Lisa at the Glass Room. This time making a coral bowl. Really happy with how it turned out and my next workshop is already booked.”
“We loved this class. The studio is beautiful and so well equipped. Lisa is a great teacher and a wealth of knowledge. Highly recommend.”
“Lovely, relaxed workshop which was perfect for a low-key hens activity for our friend.”
