Learn How to Work with Glass
At Glassmonkey Studio, we love helping our customers learn to create fused glass pieces themselves. As such, we offer a selection of courses for our clients, starting with a half-day taster workshop. During the workshop, participants will learn how to cut glass and how glass reacts in the kiln. They will also create a couple of pieces which they can pick up a couple of days later.
Following the taster workshop, participants can partake in a full-day course or a full six-week course. On the full course, they will learn different techniques and work on a project of their choosing. If you know someone who would love to take part in one of our courses, give our helpful team a call to discuss our course gift vouchers.
