About the course
Explore the language of glassmaking. Using different resources – video, images and discussion, we’ll discover the processes of working with glass and how we can connect to it. With gentle guided writing exercises, we’ll deepen our understanding of our own making process and create some draft pieces.

Cost
£12.50 / £6.25 concessions
In order to make our resources stretch further, we have to subsidise some workshops with nominal fees well below most online courses. The more who book at full price, the more we’ll be able to offer.
Concessionary places are available for those on benefits, pensioners, unemployed/underemployed or on low wages. We do not ask for proof that you qualify.
If concessionary spaces are unavailable and/or the course is fully booked, we can add you to the waiting list if you e-mail info@creativefuture.org.uk.
Other workshops
We are offering as many workshops and as many places as our resources allow—they are heavily subsidised by our limited funding.
You might also want to have a look at other workshops on offer elsewhere.
