Looking for unique family activities in Tasmania? This half-day paperweight making class in Poatina is perfect for beginners wanting a hands-on experience of working with orange-hot molten glass in the glass studio with a friend or small group of up to four people - ideal for couples and small families.
During this exciting taster workshop, you'll gather molten glass from the furnace on a steel gathering iron and learn to control and shape the glass using traditional techniques and tools to create one or two simple solid paperweights.
You'll love choosing from a large range of opaque and transparent colours and discovering ways to manipulate the colours into your own unique designs within the layers of your paperweight.
You'll be guided each step of the way by an experienced glass artist, who can also step in to help you with some of the more difficult parts of the process as your skills develop.
This class is also a great way to get accustomed to working in the glass studio and learn some of the foundational skills required for all hot glass making (including blown glass), should you choose to take one of our more comprehensive classes later.
This form of glassmaking involves working with the material in its molten form, gathered like honey from a large crucible inside an 1150 degree furnace.
For groups of two people, you will make two paperweights each. For groups of three or four people, you'll make just one paperweight each. When others have their turn you'll get to watch and assist, which is another great way to learn and discover.
All the glass you make will be yours to take home and show off to your friends and family - fascinating mementoes that will no doubt spark off some great story-telling!
Please note:
Poatina Arts is an artist collective in the beautiful village of Poatina, Tasmania. We run workshops, a yearly arts summer school, an artist in residence program and The Poatina Tree art gallery. Our goal is to help you come alive through community and creativity.
