Hot Glass Experience - MAY & JUNE
Come and try glassmaking at Hothaus!
Service Description
Ready for a unique artistic experience? Come try your hand at glassblowing with Hothaus! An experienced glassblower will guide you through all the basics of working with hot glass. We'll show you how to move safely around the studio, work at the traditional glassblowing bench, use our hand tools, gather glass out of the hot furnace, and apply colours to your glass pieces! Everything you need for class will be provided by the studio. Participants will have the opportunity to create two pieces each during the class. Students will be able to choose their colours and create a solid paper weight and blown orb so they can experience both approaches to hot glass. Class sizes are limited to six to ensure a safe and attentive atmosphere and participants are welcome from ages 14+(accompanied by an adult). Please note: Your glass pieces will need to slowly cool for 12-14 hrs after the class, so the price includes carefully packing and shipping your pieces (within Australia) the following week. We are looking forward to having you in the studio! ------- "Cannot thank the incredible staff at Hothaus for an outstanding experience today. Both Danielle and Laurel were so welcoming, knowledgeable and helpful. Their passion for glass art is evident in the way they teach, explain and assist. The studio is immaculately clean, professional and inviting. I literally would move in, it’s so beautiful. Would absolutely recommend and I’ll definitely be back!" - Becky
