Q: Would we be able to make an hourglass or is that too difficult? Also, I was wondering if we were able to record a few short videos of each other making the piece, or is that not allowed?
In a 2 hour Taster session, we would usually do an improvisational solid glass form then an improvisational blown glass form using colour and clear glass. Then we would do a basic planned project such as a pendant or a turtle. An hourglass could be done if I gave you a lot of help as this is a more sophisticated project. You are welcome to video it.
Q: Can my daughter participate? She is 14 and very level headed.
The minimum age for this class is usually 12 and your daughter sounds quite responsible so she should be fine
Q: What ages is this class suitable for?
A: Adults & 12+ years. An adult must accompany any attending kids. The adult may observe at the class for free.
Q: What's the cancellation policy?
A: No cancellations, but free to reschedule up until 7 days before the class
Q: How long does the class run for, and what's the price?
A: 2.5 hours, $173 - $252 per guest ($252 per guest when you book for 1 guest, $213/guest for 2 guests, $199/guest for 3 guests, $186/guest for 4 guests, $173/guest for 5+ guests. $100 per class surcharge applies for private classes)
