This is a fun activity in Manchester

If you've always fancied trying blowing glass and want to give it a go, this this 4-hour glassblowing class in Manchester will give you a brilliant introduction to working with molten glass.

Under the expert guidance of your tutor Niki Steel, you'll get to grips with the art of shaping molten glass to create decorative and practical pieces of art. The session can be focused on creativity or technical aspects depending on what you are most interested in – Niki has over 14 years' experience and can, therefore, be flexible on the outcomes of the class.

This is a hands-on class where you'll not only be learning the techniques from an expert, but also trying your hand at making some beautiful things that'll give you years of pleasure.

The minimum pieces made by each student will vary depending on how many students attend the class. These include:
- a colourful paperweight
- a blown bauble/hanging ornament
- a drinking glass
- a vase or bowl

Please note:
- The price of the class is £340 for 1-4 students. What you'll make on the day will depend on how many are in your group. Feel free to get in touch if you want more information on this!
- Pieces take 24 hours to cool down so will be available for collection after that or postage can be arranged when needed.
- The studio is a working environment, so please wear suitable shoes and keep long hair tied back. Other safety equipment is provided by the studio.

We had a fantastic time, made some great pieces and were well looked after by Niki and Kate. Felt very comfortable and confident in the hands of such a great tutor. Thanks, from the Durrants

Nicola is a fantastic teacher. She is friendly, extremely knowledgable and ensured we got as much as possible out of the class. She was especially good at recognising the confidence and ability of those in the class, offering just the right amount of assistance at the right times. Overall, a great experience.

Absolutely perfect day! Niki was great from the get-go. She catered the session to me (4hr 1-2-1) and we covered so much ground. Definitely caught the bug and that is thanks to Niki. She was attentive throughout, knew where my skillset was, and allowed me to really test out some skills in our time together. Can't wait for the next lesson/session together! Wholeheartedly recommend!

AMAZING CLASS! My family & I had a wonderful afternoon - this was a gift for my mum’s 60th (she has always wanted to do glass blowing). It was everything we could’ve hoped for & more! Excellent teachers - such great energy & so encouraging! Thank you Nicola for a day we’ll remember & we can’t wait to see the finished products! :)

The class was great! A lot of fun, great atmosphere! I booked the class out if the sheer curiosity because a book I was reading mentioned glass blowing and I thought "what the heck, what's the worst that can happen? I'll enjoy it?" And that was exactly what happened, I enjoyed it very much! The ladies in the workshop were great! Good fun, very professional! And well, I always wanted a handmade, glassblown ornament for my Christmas tree, I just never expected it will be one I've made myself!
