So much fun. Nick was a great teacher, very calm but funny and super helpful. Would absolutely recommend for a birthday gift or anything of the sort. Loved the atmosphere during the session. Very friendly and welcoming.
Our teacher, Nick, was great! There was just for of us in the class which works well as only one person goes at a time - that gives you a good amount of time to both observe and to do the experience yourself. Nick made it look so easy! He was also patient, funny and gave great instructions/guidance. Would love to do more classes here. The experience was super interesting and after watching multiple seasons of Blown Away, it pretty awesome to be in an actual hotshop and experience glass sculpting first hand!
Such an amazing morning learning to blow glass! Nick was a fantastic teacher and took the time to let us work at a pace that challenged us but made us comfortable. Can't wait to see the results. Highly recommend to anyone wanting to try this beautiful art form!
Nick gave us a wonderful introduction to this beautiful art form.Clear instructions, multiple exposures and a great example of the gradual release of responsibility.I can’t wait to book my next glass adventure!
Was a lot of fun!! Had my class rescheduled due to not enough people but they made the process very easy. Learnt a lot about glass blowing in the session. Nick was a fantastic teacher, nerves of steel with all us amateurs slinging molten glass around. Would give more stars if I could.
Our instructor for the glass blowing taster class was excellent. He gave really clear steps and tips for making our bird sculptures. He also went above and beyond to accommodate my shoulder injury, being my second arm for me and changing the whole set up around so I could work with my left hand. I can't wait to see the results when my husband and I pick up our birds tomorrow!
Absolutely incredible introduction to glassblowing, had so much fun and learnt so much, thanks to Nick, who was an excellent teacher. We each got to make a paperweight and a tumbler, and through that process learnt the basics of glassblowing, from picking up molten glass, to adding colour, using tools to shape the glass, assisting others in the class, all the while doing this safely with the oversight and help of Nick, who ensured we all made a glass paperweight and tumbler with ease. We got to pick them up the very next day, and we are definitely addicted to glassblowing now!
Such a fun class and unlike anything I've learnt before. Totally mesmerising process and now I have a cool tumbler with slightly wonky character, and a beautiful paperweight. Nick is an excellent teacher and he maintained a safe, informative, hands-on class. Definitely recommend!
I 100% recommend this class! We had such a great time this morning learning how to make a beautiful glass paperweight and tumbler. Nick was a wonderful teacher who kept us all safe while allowing us to enjoy the whole creative glassblowing experience. I cannot wait to see the items we made. A fabulous class, outside of anything I’ve done before. Thank you!
Just wow. This was completely amazing. Glassblowing has been on my bucket list for a very long time and so I was very excited to find this class. Despite being a complete beginner with no idea what I was doing, I made two gorgeous pieces with Nick's knowledgeable expertise and hands on guidance. Now I am definitely interested in coming back for more!
The introductory glassblowing workshop was the absolute best! Such a fun and challenging experience. I loved every second of it and want to go back and do more. Nick was such a patient and generous instructor. Highly recommend this workshop!!
Nick was an excellent instructor & guided the class beautifully to help us make a paperweight & vase.I would highly recommend this class to anyone who has an interest in glass.
I purchased this class as a gift for my partner. It was a great class. We enjoyed the small group for more personalised instruction. Our instructor had lots of knowledge and was good for a chat. We loved it!
We were a family of four and had a private lesson with Nick one weekend.Nick was a wonderful teacher. There was alot of information to absorb, especially around safety and technique but Nick was always on hand to direct and help in a very calm manner. Thank goodness, as my beginner technique was severely lacking. We all had a great time as a family and now have a deeper knowledge and appreciation of the design and skill of this artisan trade. The time past very quickly. Workshop was easy to find, the dog is very friendly and I would recommend to anyone who is interested.
The session was really interesting and hands on. Safety was a priority and I felt in good hands. I really liked the guidance and support and enjoyed the creative, collaborative approach to the class. The gift card process was easy to navigate.
If only I could give 100 stars! Absolutely loved this workshop! The class was super easy to follow, really well structured, and just genuinely enjoyable from start to finish. I also loved that the group was small — it made everything feel really friendly and comfortable, like everyone already knew each other ️Nick was so friendly and accommodating, and explained everything in a way that just made total sense. I originally booked this as a birthday gift for my boyfriend, but honestly… I think it ended up being more of a gift for myself :DAnd the best part is what you get to take home afterwards! I absolutely love my bird, and it feels so special knowing you made it yourself. Such a fun and different experience — definitely recommend this workshop! 100/10
What a wonderful afternoon learning the art of glassblowing and creating our own glass bird or paperweight to take home as a keepsake. Nick was fantastic, patiently explaining each step and making the process easy to follow. It was a truly enjoyable hands-on experience and a perfect introduction to glassblowing.

Great class, thoroughly enjoyed it, and you get to take home your hard work. The facilitator was very good and patient. Would recommend even the least creative person to enjoy.
Me and my partner had an awesome experience here. Awesome workshop and super friendly teacher. We made some glass birds and can't wait to see how they turn out!
Teacher communicated and demonstrated clearly. Was a really lovely guy with a great breadth of experience. Pity my brain finds it hard to do two actions at once, unlike the rest of the class. Very fun and eye opening.
I was given a class for my birthday but had always wanted to try glass blowing. The class was so much fun! The instructor was very clear and spent a lot of time on safety and technique and was right there to guide you and help out if you needed it. He was very knowledgeable and explained each step first. I’m definitely going to do the intermediate class next!
What a fun class. Great teacher, very knowledgeable and helpful. He made it look so easy. I was pleasantly surprised that I actually managed to make a bird and not a blob. Colours are wonderful.
Thank you for a fun experience with a fancinating artform. I went solo and had a great time with my group. Our teacher was skilled and jovial, and I can't reccommend the bloke's class enough. I'll be back for more glassblowing!
What a brilliant class and teacher! Molten glass is terrifying but this intro really made it approachable. Nick was super calm and gave great instructions and support, giving us enough guidance that we could achieve the outcomes (making a paperweight and tumbler) with enough room to really feel what using the tools and processes was like (i.e. juggling a blob of molten lava on the end of a stick while trying not to burn myself, drop it, or flick it at anyone else AND trying to work it into the required shape)! I highly recommend giving it a go!
I went with two of my daughters and we had a blast. Nick was very patient with us and ensured that our paperweights and glasses turned out as they should, though my daughters and I were convinced we were going to mess up. We are looking forward to seeing the finished products once they finish annealing. There was another two women there and we all got along like glass on fire. Between the five of us and Nick, there was a lot of laughter and fun.
A big thanks to our teacher Nick for such a great experience yesterdayPicked up our birds today and very happy with the end product.Nick was great and looked after us so wellWould highly recommend to anyoneThanks to our family for an amazing Xmas present.
