This is a fun activity in Manchester

Join us at Manchester's only hot glass studio this weekend workshop to learn the art of glass blowing and create your own glass ornament to take home. Niki will guide you through the process, and don't worry if you're a beginner - this is a stress-free introduction to the traditional craft.

In this workshop, you'll have 15 minutes to work with Niki and create your egg, using all the materials, colours, and tools provided by the studio. Feel free to stay for the whole session, witnessing what others create and learning about the magic of molten glass.
- Experience the excitement of blowing up a balloon made of lava as you dive into the world of glass blowing
- All materials, colours, and tools will be provided for you

Immerse yourself in this unique activity, explore the possibilities of molten glass, and take home your very own handmade Glass ornament as a memento of a fun and creative day in the studio.

Collection or postage of finished pieces can be arranged with the studio, as all glass pieces require 24 hours to cool down fully.

“The class was great. There was only 5 of us, so it gave loads of opportunity to asks questions and chat about techniques etc. You get to watch the other members of the class work on their bobble/vase which I found so hypnotic and it was great to compare and discuss techniques. We were given the option to make either a bobble or a vase and were able to pick our colour from a wide range. There was loads of pieces in the workshop we could use as inpiration and Nicolas and her team-mate were really helpful in picking colours based on inspiration and what they had available. Nicolas is very passionate about her craft and she was super helpful, shared loads of insights about the techniques etc. I went with a friend and we had a lovely time and learnt a lot. Definitely recommend this workshop, it's great to support local artists too!”

“We both really enjoyed our afternoon of glass blowing, both creating little bud vases which are to be collected this week. We learnt a little about the process and then got to select our colours, discuss the item we wanted to create and took part in the sculpting as well as the blowing elements. Can't wait to lick items up and look at different classes to continue the experience.”

“This was so much fun! We actually made little bud vases (perfect for sweet peas!). In this process, we got to choose our unique colour combination, twist patterns into the molten glass, and blow the glass whilst the instructor kept everything moving and looking perfect. The teacher was amazing. Really good explanations and demonstrations, so encouraging and supportive, really friendly and welcoming. Would love to go back to Nicola Steel Glass. I received this as a generous birthday gift from friends and we went together and had a great time. It was very easy to redeem the gift card for the day and time of our choice.”

“Very much enjoyed the intro to glass blowing. Nikki was really friendly and knowledgeable. While you don't get to work the glass from the kiln itself you still get to manipulate the glass and try varied pattern techniques for whatever it is you're making. It was really interesting, and I'm definitely tempted by the beginners class. Thanks for a lovely morning”
