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.

**Please note:**
- 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.
- This workshop is not suitable for pregnant guests.
- We do not recommend bringing pets to the studio, as the workshop environment is not suitable for small animals.

“We had a great time, the teachers were there to help and guide us, will come again. I would say to give a 30 minute warning rather than a 15 minute warning, as this was our first time attempting the glass work. BUT the teachers offer to help you finish it when your workshop ends.”

“Great workshop! Teacher was thorough. Highly recommend. I would suggest doing longer than 1.5 hour class if anyone were to do it as it gives you more time x but our Pikmin is happy at home with its new flowers!”

“I really enjoyed this workshop! It's a pretty unique experience, and not something I'd have been able to do at home. The workshop was more casual than I expected – it was more like a rolling workshop within a gallery space, with individuals and small groups arriving at their allotted times, rather than something where everyone arrives all at once and receives instruction en masse – but I quite liked that because it meant everything was explained to me one-on-one, rather than me straining to see/hear past a crowd, and I didn't feel rushed or like I was competing with others for the instructors' attention. There were a few people available to help when I had questions or needed help – which happened quite a bit. I've tried a lot of different crafts, but this was quite a challenging one! Working with hot glass isn't something you're going to totally master in 90 minutes. Another attendee managed to make four flowers in their session while I only made two, so the number of flowers you'll make is pretty variable, but I enjoyed experimenting a bit with mine. I'm happy to recommend this class. My main tip would be for people who wear glasses. You do have to wear some provided tinted safety goggles for this activity – not just because of the hot glass and such, but because you're staring at a white-hot flame for over an hour. I was able to awkwardly put my glasses over the top of these, but I did wish I'd worn my contact lenses. It's not the end of the world if you only have glasses, but if you can wear contacts, I'd advise it – it'll just be more convenient and comfortable. Also, you might want to take a small box along to transport your flowers home in. The staff do carefully wrap them in soft packig material and paper, which is pretty protective and worked out fine for me, but I was worried about accidentally crushing them on the way home.”
