Make a practice piece, a bowl and a glass or vase.
This class is designed to give you real hands-on experience with 100% support. Where needed – meaning, if you are going well, we physically support you less, whilst still talking you through if needed.
A great place to start for a hands-on person.
Glassblowing with your best friend (2 hours, make three pieces each). You will make medallions in molten glass—pressed, super-heated, and stamped. With your colours and breath, you’ll each get to blow, & create a bauble, or “Bauble-arium” each. You’ll assist your bestie throughout the session.
Bring your own wax seal stamp, or use ours.
Want to make Mushrooms??? Fantastic!!! You are my people!
Choose your own colours, I’ll demonstrate with your colours to go through the techniques, and then we will do it together.
Perfect if you have done the besties class – & a fabulous way to experience the “Solo class” with your Bestie, being more hands on than the 2 hour Besties class.
2 people over 4 hours – Make up to 6 glasses Mornings Only. Let us know what you would like to make and we’ll see it it is within your skill capacity at the time.
With Your Bestie (Make Two Pieces Each)
Start with a short tour of our studio, followed by a demonstration & familiarisation on how & what you’ll be doing next! With a hands-on approach, Faerie will offer as much or as little help as you need, with super clear instructions guiding you every step of the way. Imagine the vibrant colours and combinations of your mouth-blown glass melting before your eyes as you work the glass. Pick up your pieces the next day, or we’ll lovingly wrap them and arrange postage to you- (domestic shipping), with insurance included. We also have stands available for purchase so that you can display your beautiful creations all year round. There’s nothing quite like the experience of enjoying your hand-crafted glass piece.

Debi Marshall 2023-10-27 This morning, Friday 27 October 2023, was spent with Faerie at her home studio at Mt Tamborine and it was fabulous. She is a great teacher with a vast amount of knowledge, laid back and helpful at just the right time to stop any catastrophe! Faerie was terrific to deal with right from making the booking and all the necessary information beforehand. It was a great experience, we learned a lot and most important, had a great time. Highly recommend this workshop to all.
