Glassblowing Workshops
Glassblowing is an ancient craft meant to be shared, explored, and truly experienced. Make With Molten, the workshop arm of Molten 1090 invites beginners into our hotshop to discover the quiet magic of molten glass.
Whether you’re seeking an unforgettable moment with someone special or a contemplative creative escape of your own, we have something to excite your creative spirit.
Our regular, weekly sessions are effortless to book online. We also craft tailored experiences for groups, from refined birthday gatherings and unique hen or stag celebrations to private classes shaped for a bespoke experience with your vision in mind. For companies, we design team-building workshops that bring colleagues together through a shared act of making. Explore our workshop options below and begin your glass journey with us.

FAQ
Do I need any experience?
Nope! Our workshops are beginner-friendly and fully guided. No prior experience needed, just bring your curiosity and creativity.
What should I wear?
Wear comfy clothes made from natural fibres such as cotton, denim, linen or wool. Closed-toe shoes are essential (trainers are perfect), and we recommend keeping your arms covered. If you have long hair, please bring something with you to tie it up.
Can I gift a workshop?
Yes! We offer digital gift cards for all of our workshops, so you can give the gift of a creative experience. Perfect for birthdays, anniversaries, or just because!
Can I take my pieces home on the day?
Not right away. Your pieces need to cool in our kiln and get coldworked before they're ready to take home.
UK shipping is included in all bookings, so we'll post your creations directly to you once they're ready.
Do you run private workshops?
We offer private workshops for all kinds of occasions, from team days to celebrations and creative get-togethers. We also offer bespoke experiences if you have a particular goal or vision in mind. Just reach out via our contact form or email team@molten1090.com to discuss.
