5 Rating 45 Reviews
Read ClassBento UK Reviews

This is a fun activity in East Finchley, London

Note: the price shown is based on two people attending the same session.

Private class for two people (ie £190 per person.) Perfect for a date night or treating someone special to a unique activity, in this 1:2 session you will have the studio to yourselves while you dive into the exciting art of glassblowing. I run sessions every weekend and some weekdays.

Taught by Samantha Sweet, a glassblower with over 20 years experience, you will both design, then make 2 glass pieces each which will be yours to keep.

During this experience you will both
– Have a minimum of one hour of hands-on bench time each
– Make a solid glass piece (eg paperweight/candle holder)
– Make a blown glass piece (eg drinking glass/vase/bowl)
– Gather molten glass from a furnace.
– Shape hot glass using a variety of tools.
– Add glass colours of your choice

5 mins walk from East Finchley tube station or free parking is available. Classes are held in my studio with a view over the park.

All materials and safety equipment will be ready and waiting for you, so all you need to do is show up and get ready to create. Refreshments are available during your session.

Please note: Your glass will have to be annealed overnight and have to be picked up or posted out to you at a later date at at cost.

“I took my wife for her birthday and we had a fantastic time at the class! Sam walked us through the process every step of the way, encouraged us and assisted as we both created our initial pieces and guided us as we the created our second, more ambitious items. It was hot and intense work, unique and completely worth it. We enjoyed every minute of it.”

Samantha was incredibly warm, welcoming, and informative, making us feel comfortable the moment we arrived. As complete beginners, we were amazed at how hands-on the workshop was.

Her passion and knowledge really shine through, making the experience both educational and fun. It truly was a lovely afternoon and an unforgettable experience. We left with a real appreciation for the skill involved in glass blowing and some wonderful memories. We would highly recommend this workshop to anyone looking to try something new and creative!”

“Brilliant session with Samantha. We were first-time glass blowers and she explained everything very clearly and was so friendly and supportive throughout. The session was really well paced and hands-on, and we got to try a range of different techniques. It was fun, relaxed and very informative at the same time. We would definitely consider doing glass-blowing again as a result of our great experience!”
