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 hand painted and kiln formed glass bowl using recycled window glass and vitreous enamels.
No experience necessary, our internationally renowned instructor, Lisa Cahill has 25 years of glass making experience and will guide you through every step of the process. You'll learn how to mix enamels and paint and then watch as your creation comes to life in our fully equipped kiln glass studio.
Your piece can be abstract or representational and you will have full control over the design either choosing an existing template from a large selection or creating a new one. Bring your own ideas or decide on the day. We can print out an image for you to use as a template or you can let the paint guide you. No painting skills needed, just come and enjoy learning a new skill.
Being fired in the kiln will bring out the unique colours and textures of your bowl. Once the firing is complete, it will be ready for pickup or postage approximately a week later (sooner if needed for interstate guests) serving as a beautiful reminder of your creativity and the experience. Postage can be arranged for a small additional cost.
Come and join us in our glass studio for a lovely relaxing workshop that will leave you with a stunning piece of art to show your your creativity.
Studio is centrally located in Fyshwick close to Canberra Outlet Centre, Bunnings and Office works.

  • 5/5 from Jen Fidan, attended Jul 2026: The class was a lot of fun. Lisa is extremely knowledgable and an excellent teacher and kept the class fun and light while letting us experiment and be as creative as we wanted. It was an excellent class and I look forward to doing others!
  • 5/5 from Jess Perkins, attended Jan 2026: I had such a wonderful experience at Lisa’s glass painting kiln fire art class. Lisa is absolutely lovely — so patient, encouraging, and incredibly knowledgeable. She creates a relaxed space where you feel confident to experiment with the glass, try different techniques, and really explore how painting and firing can transform each piece. What I loved most was how supportive she was of creativity, while still guiding you with practical tips so everything works beautifully in the kiln. It felt both inspiring and fun, and I came away with new skills and a real appreciation for the art form. Highly recommend to anyone wanting to try something creative, learn about glass art, and enjoy a welcoming, hands-on class. I’ll definitely be back!
