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.

“Fantastic experience! Samantha is a great teacher, very encouraging and instructive, it was great to be able to come up with your own colour combos and shapes. The studio was a lovely set-up as a bonus. We had an amazing time and were really happy with our glass items too! Would highly recommend!”

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. Samantha is a fantastic teacher who guides you through every step, giving you the confidence to get involved while ensuring you feel supported throughout. 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!”

“This was an incredible experience for my boyfriend and me, being able to see the process of glassmaking and at the same time create some beautiful unique pieces. Sam was an amazing teacher, allowing us to do the work while also gently guiding us and making the workshop easy to follow and fun. We loved seeing the glasswear displayed in her studio as well, showing all the creative possibilities of glassblowing. Overall we had a wonderful day and couldn't recommend this workshop more. You're guaranteed to come out of it with a feeling of accomplishement and not realising how fast the time went by! Thank you so much Sam :)”

“We had such a lovely time at this workshop - it was a truly memorable and enjoyable experience! Sam was fantastic: so patient, supportive, and incredibly good at breaking each step down so everything felt easy and manageable. Her knowledge really shone through, and she made the whole session feel relaxed and flexible, encouraging us to be creative and to try things out. The workshop itself is beautiful - calm, inspiring, and wonderfully tucked away. It honestly didn’t feel like we were in London at all, which made it even more special! We absolutely loved the whole experience - thank you so much, Sam!”
