This is a fun activity in Shoreditch, London

This introductory beginner's glass workshop in London is specially designed for absolute beginners with no prior experience in lampworking glass. It's the ideal activity to learn how to create your own stunning glass flowers without feeling overwhelmed.

Through careful observation and teaching, we have found that starting with the Mini Flower Set is the perfect way to begin. This approach allows you to get hands-on straight away and successfully create beautiful pieces. In this workshop, you will learn how to make mini flowers, which have 3-5 petals that are lightly pressed, or small flowers, where each petal is pressed multiple times for added detail. To ensure a high success rate, each flower is limited to a maximum of 5 petals.

You can choose a workshop duration that suits your schedule:

- 1.5-hour workshop: Create a mini set of 2-3 flowers or a small set of 2 flowers.
- 2-hour workshop: Create a mini set of 3-4 flowers or a small set of 2-3 flowers.
- 3-hour workshop: Create a mini set of 5+ flowers or a small set of 4+ flowers.

For those interested in creating more intricate designs, we recommend joining our Improver Beginner Workshop after this introductory session.

You will leave with a gorgeous collection of your very own handcrafted glass flowers and a wonderful sense of achievement from mastering this mesmerising art form.

Please note that the workshop duration includes a 20–25 minute tutorial and safety briefing at the beginning of the session. This introduction is part of the total workshop time.

- This workshop involves hot glass, tools, heated equipment, and open flames.
- Guests must be at least 12 years old. Guests under 18 years old must be accompanied by an adult at all times.

“Not enough guidance and I was only able to make one flower. Disappointing. Both me and my sister also burnt our hands whilst working with the hot glass. Would not recommend.”

“We had a great time, Aisha was a lovely teacher and took time with us at the end to make sure our petals were attached properly. I'd recommend getting at least a 2 hour session as 1:30 wouldn't have been long enough.”

“This class was awesome, I ended up making a bunch of glass petals for two flowers. The process of shaping and heating the glass was almost mediative. The shapes the glass took and the colours of heated glass were spectacular and felt one of a kind. The teachers were around to help and were able solve any problems which came up.”

“Brief lesson on what to do, followed by very little supervision. Effort required to get the attention of people working there and frustration that they needed to change the gas cylinder on my burner, and gave very little help when needed. Shame as I’d have enjoyed it way more if I’d had more help and guidance. Bearing this in mind, it was very expensive and I wouldn’t recommend it to others. Oh and we had to walk away leaving our burners still spouting flame and walk across the room to ask someone to turn them off! This could so easily be improved from a basic safety perspective as well as value for time and money.”

“The glass flower making class was very good! I really enjoyed it and it was a very calm environment to practice the craft. Really appreciated the big groups being broken into small groups and being led by multiple teachers. They explained everything thoroughly and were always watching to make sure we received what we needed. I did feel like it wasn’t long enough as I was enjoying and found it therapeutic. Would say it requires your entire attention. Highly recommend!”

“Had a really great time doing something new and different with a friend. The main criticism I would make is that although the studio seemed to be full of teachers, after the initial demonstration it was quite difficult to find someone to help when we needed it - and we definitely did as novices! When they did come though they were quite friendly and helpful.”
