Suitable for participants with prior glassblowing experience, students will sharpen their skills and learn how to troubleshoot issues throughout the design and making process.

Participants will need their own hand tools (a small selection will be available for use) and colour. Colour will also be available for purchase on the day.

This 5-day intensive includes access to the hot-shop throughout the day; class time: 8am-4.30pm (with lunch break), and additional blowing time available from 5-9pm each day.
