Glassblowing Class: Make a Tumbler

Blow your own glass cup you can be proud to drink out of



3 hours

Class size 1 to 6 (public classes), 1 to 10
  $330 (Afterpay available)

This class focuses on blowing glass and creating tumblers with the blowpipe. The degree of difficulty of this class is slightly higher, so if you haven't done any glassblowing before, we recommend trying our Beginners Glassblowing class first. However, if you are keen to dive right into cups, we're more than happy to welcome you into the class.
This class is all about tumbler making. Each student will be given an opportunity to make a tumbler in clear and colour.
You'll be guided every step of the way, from gathering glass from the furnace, blowing a bubble into the molten glass, shaping the cup, transferring it to a punty iron and then opening it up!
All tools and materials will be provided by the studio. Just bring a snack and a water bottle and come ready to learn and have fun.
Class sizes are limited to six to ensure a safe and attentive atmosphere and everyone is welcome from ages 14+ (accompanied by an adult).
Please note: Your glass pieces will need to slowly cool for 12-14 hrs after the class, so the price includes carefully packing and shipping your pieces (within Australia) the following week.

  • 5/5 from Lynne Tait, attended Apr 2026: I found this class to be absolutely fascinating and got to take home 2 glasses at the end (after they had cooled overnight) The instructors were terrific and we should support these small businesses providing a skill that is disappearing.These lovely ladies not only make custom pieces for client orders but also teach their skills in a friendly environment. Well done HotHaus!! I hope your business does very well, you deserve great praise for running your studio and your classes
  • 5/5 from Emma Fabian, attended Mar 2026: This class was a gift, and I had a ball! I had previously done the introductory class, so this was a friendly reminder to some of the processes and skills required. Our teacher was very patient in going through the steps, and took the time to make sure were were happy with our builds. The small group setting was appreciated. It was a very relaxed morning, I felt well looked after, and cannot wait for my tumblers to be sent home and used!
  • 5/5 from Devin J Kubala, attended Nov 2025: My friend and I had so much fun at this class! The teachers were lovely and very knowledgeable. The studio was very cool. I would happily do this class again!

Laurel and Amanda share a common passion: glass blowing. It's what brought them together and what inspired them to open their beautiful Heidelberg West glass studio, HotHaus, in 2019.
Laurel and Amanda have completed traineeships and residencies in Adelaide, Tokyo, Japan and the UK. Their work appears in a number of exhibitions, boutiques and installations around the world, including the Adelaide Botanical Gardens and Hong Kong's Manhattan Hotel.
