Welcome to Molten 1090, where classic glass blowing techniques meet modern design and sustainability.
During this workshop, you will be immersed in the art of glass blowing and learn different techniques and will expand on your knowledge of using tools such as the punty, blowing iron, jacks, glass tweezers, glass color and marver as you craft your exquisite glass pieces. Each participant will make up to three pieces and gain a more in depth learning of glass blowing.
You'll start by creating simple pieces, exploring the texture of the glass and then mastering the use of the punch. The highlight of the experience? Working directly with experienced glass artisans to create complex pieces, each movement guided by their expertise and experience.
This workshop is suitable for beginners and those with more experience, however we recommend having participated in a glass blowing workshop before.
Enter this magical studio where design and sustainability meet. Molten 1090 is a modern hot shop where you can learn about the history, and the future, of glass blowing. Let yourself be carried away and every moment will be a spark of creativity.
A payment of £10 (cash or card) will be required on the day of the workshop to cover the cost of shipping your pieces once they're completed. Please note this fee will cover the cost of shipping for up to 2 participants to a single address in the UK. Glass items are typically ready to be shipped within 3 weeks of the workshop
