Ice Glass Bowl Making Experience - Sunday 7th December 2025
Ice Glass Bowl Making Experience - Sunday 7th December 2025
Come and experience making a glass ice bowl?
During the session you will have the chance to make your own ice glass bowl.
I will demonstrate ways of sculpting a hollow ice form and how to create a refractory plaster mould to then cast your bowl in glass, then you will have a chance to make your own.
By the end of the session we will have the glass and moulds prepared to go in the kiln.
The casts will take a few days to cool down, so will be ready about a week later.
The session runs from 11 am - 2.30 pm.

Apron (we will also have disposable aprons available for use)
Face mask for plaster mixing, or we can provide disposable ones on the day.
All participants must wear closed toe flat shoes. I will give a short H&S Induction at the start of the course.

Materials
All basic materials and a clear glass cast are included in the course fee. More specialised glass billets and colours can be purchased from the studio. The course covers the production of one mould, with the cast size about 10 x 10 x 10 cm. Any additional moulds made will be charged before firing if space allows. Once cooled, your casts will be de-moulded by us, cleaned up and given a frosted finish. There are other in house finishing options at additional costs that can be discussed during the course.
Collecting Work
As your cast will be in the kiln at the end of the course so will need to be collected at a later date by arrangement. We can also arrange for them to be sent on to you by courier. We will be in touch to arrange this with you on the day.
Food & Accommodation
We do not provide food or accommodation at the studio, students are asked to bring any food required and arrange their own transport and any overnight stays.
We have free tea & coffee making facilities, a fridge freezer and a microwave for heating food. We will also have biscuits for tea time!
