Glassblowing Experience - Private 1:1 Tuition

This is a private 1:1 session between you and professional glassblower James Stewardson, making it ideal for beginners or those looking to develop their skills at the torch.

Please note: this is a one-to-one workshop and we are unable to accommodate additional guests or spectators.

James has over 10 years’ experience in glassblowing and creates a wide range of work, from decorative sculptures and jewellery to marbles and functional glassware.

Under his guidance, you’ll use a torch (also known as a lamp) to create your own glass pieces based on your interests. Lampworking allows you to work closely with the flame and glass, offering a hands-on and immersive experience.

• Refreshments included.
• Equipment provided.
• At least 1 bespoke handmade glass piece made by you.
• At least 1 additional bespoke piece made by James for you.

This workshop takes place at our studio, a 3-minute drive from Hawkshead.
