Who

During this fun, child-friendly session you will learn the principles and theory of glass cutting, fusing and firing. You will then work on your own design and make a stunning 10cm x 10cm glass piece.

Your glass will need to be kiln-fired after the workshop is finished.

This process takes 24 hours and will usually takes place within a week of the session. Once your fused artwork has been kiln-fired and cooled, the Museum will contact you to let you know it is ready for collection.

This ticket admits one child (who must be accompanied by an adult).

Space is limited in the workshop so the museum ask that only one parent/carer accompanies child for the duration of the workshop.

Suitable for ages: 7+

 

This event is part of Summer at the Museums 2026.
