Glassblowing Experience Gift Vouchers

Gift the unforgettable experience of glassblowing in the Lake District with professional Cumbrian glassblower James Stewardson.

Participants will be introduced to the art and science of lampworking through demonstrations by James, before being guided to create their own glass pieces. Each session is tailored to individual interests, with the opportunity to explore a range of forms—from decorative sculptures and jewellery to marbles and functional glassware.

We offer both private 1:1 workshops and private experiences for two. For larger groups, please get in touch so we can tailor a session to you.

What’s included

• Refreshments
• All equipment provided
• At least 1 bespoke handmade glass piece made by you
• At least 1 additional bespoke piece made by James for you
