Glass Blowing Demonstrations

Adam Aaronson will be presenting a series of Glass Blowing Demonstrations during SAOS – Surrey Artists Open Studios during June 2018. Please see below for dates and times.

These glassblowing demonstrations are free to the public and no booking is necessary.

As part of the Surrey Artist Open Studios series of events, Adam will be running his popular Taster Courses. Why not have a go at making glass yourself? You can find details by clicking here.

Adam’s glass blowing demonstrations are exciting and interesting to watch. If you are unable to visit at these times, the chances are that there will be some glassblowing to watch at most times during Open Studios, so it is worth dropping in. But we can’t guarantee a demonstration outside the published times.

When Taster courses are running, it is generally possibly to watch, space permitting.

PERFECT FOR BEGINNERS

These glass blowing taster courses are perfect for novices. You don’t need any experience at all, as we go through the process carefully.  We welcome children aged 9 years upwards. We have no upper age limit and the oldest student so far was aged 92!  But please advise us when you are booking if participants will be under 18 and please note that a parent or other responsible adult must accompany children. And, if you would like to make more than one item, just book two spaces!

These courses are dynamic, hands-on workshops, during which each participant makes their own coloured glass paperweight, bowl, tumbler, vase or other object from a choice of styles.

Demonstrating the process in a taster session

Each session starts with a safety briefing. Then Adam Aaronson gives a demonstration showing how you will make your glass creation, with assistance from Adam and one of his assistants, Will, Candice or Gina, to make their paperweight or other item. We adapt to each individual’s ability, giving you more or less assistance as required. Next, each person chooses their colours and style and works in turn on an individual basis with Adam and his assistant to create their unique piece. We have to anneal your glass creation overnight. Then we will need to grind and polish it. So it will usually be ready for collection 48 hours after the course. As a finishing touch we will engrave your name on the base. We very much encourage you to take photographs during the session, so don’t forget to bring your camera or phone.
