What you'll do
Have you ever wondered how glass objects are made?
This is your chance to create your own piece of beautiful art made with liquid glass. Our instructors will introduce you to the exciting and age-old craft of hot glass forming.
By the time your class is completed, you will have made your very own piece of glass to enjoy.
First we will help you to understand the exciting possibilities of glass art and make your choice of colours and deign. Then you will learn about the properties of glass while making a “practice piece". For the main event you will move on to adding colour to the mix and forming your own paperweight, small sculpture, or fanciful flower.
During the 2 hr class for two you will each have 30-45 minutes of one-on-one instruction. All materials are included. In light of COVID 19 all equipment is disinfected after every client. We aim to uphold a safe and sanitary environment
Your 2 works of art need to cool for 1 - 2 days after the class is done. You can either pick up your creation later, or you can have the items mailed to you for the price of shipping to your address.
Instruction is available in English, French, and by arrangement, in Japanese.

Supporting the arts in a non-profit environment has been my dream retirement.
In 2017, with the support of our community I formed Priests Mill Arts Centre as a space for the display and teaching of all arts.
Through our glass experience program, I hope to pass on my passion for beauty to the next generation. http://priestsmill.com/

Fantastique atelier de verre. Interactif du début à la fin avec un emphase sur la sécurité pour le premier atelier. Cloé, notre artiste-instructeur était super sympa et d'une patience hors-pair avec toutes nos questions. C'est définitivement à refaire de notre côté.

We really enjoyed learning about and get a greater appreciation for glass blowing! Our pieces turned out very well. One thing that is good to know ahead of time, especially if you are coming from far away is that the finished work needs to go in a kiln overnight so it will have to be picked up another day.
