Join us in our glass studio for a special hands-on glassmaking workshop in Canberra.
In this workshop, you will learn the basics of creating your very own light catcher made from kiln-formed glass. In this beginner-friendly class, you'll have the opportunity to explore the art of glassmaking and create a unique piece to cherish for years to come.
Our experienced instructor, Lisa Cahill is an internationally recognised glass artist with 25 years experience and loves welcoming you to her fully equipped kiln forming and cold working studio in Fyshwick. Lisa will guide you through every step of the process and you'll learn how to cut and arrange coloured glass and then watch as your creation comes to life.
Being fired in the kiln will bring out the unique colours and textures of your light catcher. Once the firing is complete, your ornament will be ready for pickup or postage a few days later (please follow us on social media to be advised about pick-up times and dates), serving as a beautiful reminder of your creativity and the experience.
Come and join us in our glass studio for a magical workshop that will leave you with a stunning piece of art and memories that will last a lifetime. Due to great feedback from previous attendees we have extended the time to 1.5 hours so you have more time to chat and enjoy your time making your creations.
Please note this class is suitable for all ages above 5 years but children between 5 and 10 must be supervised by an adult. Plenty of space for parents to stay and watch although you might like to join in the fun - its a great class to do with your child.

  • 5/5 from Danielle Wardle, attended May 2026: I attended one of the first classes a couple of years ago, which I thoroughly enjoyed. Two years on the chance to cut and grind glass, know about different kiln techniques, and know about layering glass to achieve different results made the experience, and the art, even better. Highly recommend.

Lisa, the teacher, ensured we all challenged ourselves learning how to cut glass. Some of our classmates were return visitors and I understand why. Everyone's light catchers were unique and beautiful, even before firing. I'm looking forward to picking ours up.
