“The four of us absolutely loved our glass blowing taster session. Mark is such an inspiring artist – calm, patient, and generous in guiding each of us through the process. It still amazes me that we each walked away with two special pieces, completely unique, one-of-a-kind glass sculptures. We can’t wait to come back. The studio is light-filled, welcoming, and thoughtfully organised. What made the experience even more memorable was Mark’s passion for storytelling through his work, his mindfulness around sustainability, and the way he so openly shared tips and insights.”
“We thought we were only going there to do glass blowing but we also got to play with glass sticks. The teachers were knowledgeable and very helpful. The class was a good size and was fun to do!”
“An Unforgettable Five-Star Glass Blowing Experience with Mark!
I just had the most incredible glass blowing experience, and it was truly a five-star affair thanks to Mark! From start to finish, the entire session was engaging, educational, and exhilarating.
Mark is an exceptional instructor – incredibly knowledgeable & patient. He made what seemed like a daunting art form feel completely accessible. He clearly explained each step, demonstrating techniques with such grace and precision, then expertly guiding me through the process. I felt completely safe and supported, even when working with the intense, focused heat from the heater guns.
The thrill of shaping molten glass into something beautiful was absolutely mesmerizing. Feeling the incredible heat as the heater guns worked their magic, learning to rotate and manipulate the glass, and watching it transform right before my eyes was an experience unlike any other. Mark’s calm demeanor and clear instructions made all the difference, allowing me to truly enjoy every moment without feeling rushed or overwhelmed.
I walked away not only with a stunning, unique piece of art that I made myself but also with an immense appreciation for the craft and the skills involved. If you've ever even thought about trying glass blowing, or just want a truly memorable and hands-on creative experience, I cannot recommend taking a class with Mark enough. It was an an absolute highlight and worth every single star!”
“What a wonderful workshop and Mark was such a knoweldgeable and encouraging teacher. Being a complete novice I was a little unsure what to expect and a little terrified that it would be beyond my abilities. The format was really great, good safety prep and really helpful instructions during Mark's demonstrations and then actually getting to create my own pieces was really cool. I will definitely be back.”
“Wow! What a class! This was such a great experience to dip your toes into glass blowing. (Be careful, once you do this, you'll want to do it again and again! ) Mark was very helpful and encouraging and very skillful! I can't wait to keep doing glasswork in the future!”
“It was a great experience learning glassblowing from Mark. We started the class with the emphasis on personal safety and environmental awareness. After learning the basics, Mark guided us in creating our very own pieces of art. The class atmosphere was also fun.
