The traditional craft of glass making
The traditional craft of glass making
We love glass. We love to make glass. We love to show you how we make glass. Daily demonstrations will show you the art of glass blowing and you will be entertained by our wonderful artisan glass makers. Demonstrations take place Wednesday – Sunday Sessions are usually at 12pm & 2pm but these times may vary due to pre booked workshops or classes so we advise you to ring ahead before coming if you are on a tight time schedule.
If you are interested in trying out glassblowing for yourself see below for more details about our class and sessions, we offer everything from traditional glass making skills sessions for individuals or pairs, to group bookings for families, stag & Hen dos, or corporate team building. We also offer privates asses glass work sessions where your loved ones ashes can be added to a memorial glass piece in a private session.
We look forward to welcoming you you soon.

Each participant gets a chance to make their own bauble or paperweight. All bookings include a complimentary drink and free lunch. Costs depend on the size of the group.
Groups of more than 5 will be split into two groups. One group will have a go at glass blowing while the other get their free drink in our cafe, followed by time to explore our galleries, and Grade 2* Listed Victorian Tank House, or they can watch the other groups glass blowing from a safe distance. The two groups will swap over half way through the half day session. Once all group members have had their turn, the group can enjoy their included lunch in our lovely canal side cafe.
