These hot glass taster courses are dynamic, hands-on workshops in which each participant makes their own coloured glass paperweight, bird, heart or other solid object from a choice of styles. These short courses are only run during Surrey Artists Open Studios and are not available at other times of the year, except to groups (see http://adamaaronson.com/glassblowing-courses-group-bookings/ )
The session starts with a safety briefing and then a demonstration from Adam, showing the process that each person will use, with assistance from Adam and his assistant, Nikki, to make their paperweight or other item.
Next, each person chooses their colours and style and works with Adam and Nikki to create their unique piece. Paperweights and other items have to be annealed overnight and are generally ready for collection 48 hours after the course. The cost per person, per piece, is at the special SAOS rate of £40 including VAT.
These glassblowing courses are great fun for all ages and though mainly attended by adults, are also open to children aged from 11 years old. A parent, or other responsible adult must accompany children. Please advise when booking if participants will be under 18. No experience is necessary as we adapt to the individual’s ability, giving more or less assistance as required. Booking your experience ahead of your visit is recommended to avoid disappointment as spaces get booked up quickly.
