5 Rating 26 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 £165 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.

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 a cost of £20.00 for all your pieces together.

Really really enjoyed this class, Samantha was a fantastic teacher, very patient and a complete pro. We couldn't believe what we were able to do (with her considerable assistance!) by the end of the class and the pieces looked amazing as they went in the kiln. The location is super convenient, right by the northern line, and the studio is super modern. Highly recommend this class

An experience to cherish! Samantha's energy and knowledge makes for a fun and comfortable environment as first timers craft unique and beautiful creations. Always on hand to guide and encourage she also has a knack for saving the pieces when things get sticky without ever making you feel like you did anything wrong. We enjoyed every minute, created lasting memories and captured it all in photographs. The smiles we left with lasted for days.

Thank you so much Sam for accomodating my boyfriend and I for a class on his birthday! It was so enjoyable and you really managed to make the process of learning fun and deeply interesting. You were really patient and nothing seemed like too much to ask for when creating our pieces, for which we are really grateful! I am really looking forward to collecting our creations, that will be a reminder of this amazing experience guided by yourself!
