An Introduction to Glass Blowing: Half-day Saturday course At Aaronson Noon, a leading studio in west London, our half-day course is an exciting and intensive experience aimed at introducing beginners or novices to the wonders of hot glass.
Our dedicated team of skilled makers offer instruction at a ratio of no more than three pupils per tutor – so you can be sure of individual attention and impressive results.
During the course you will be introduced to techniques such as:
• Gathering molten glass from a furnace,
• Shaping and working the glass using a variety of tools,
• Working with glass colours,
• Blowing a glass vessel.
By the end of the course, we expect you to have made several pieces, usually including a paperweight, a small sculpture and a blown vessel, which will be yours to keep and treasure!
