Private Glassblowing Workshop for Two Reviews

5 Rating 29 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 £180 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 a cost of £20.00 for all your pieces together.

I had such a wonderful time at this class — it was an unforgettable experience. Sam is an exceptional teacher: friendly, knowledgeable, and incredibly engaging. The session was not only fun but also really well organised. I would highly recommend this experience, whether as a thoughtful gift or as part of a unique day out. I'm already looking forward to booking again in the future!

This was such fun! Sam was excellent and the experience was wonderful. If it wasn't so physically demanding for a woman of my age I would serious think about taking it up as a hobby. My niece and I went together and we each made two items of our choice, and mine now sit in pride of place on my dressing table and office desk! I just got back from Malta and went to see the glass blowing in Mdina Glass, and relived the experience, and also knew what they were doing and why. Absolutely wonderful and well worth the money. Than you to my lovely daughters for this excellent present. A wonderful memory.

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

My wife and I had a fantastics time with Sam. She was well organised, patient and very informative for all of our silly questions. If you're interesting in a beginners session on glass blowing I would highly recommend it!
