Hot Glass Workshops
Furnace workshops and other kinds of hot glass!
Glass Manifesto is running a series of amazing workshops which will range in skill level from beginner through to intermediate skills. It is hot, exciting, overwhelming and fun.
Unless otherwise stated (with an asterix*) all workshops are tailored towards the absolute beginner - no experience necessary. Most workshops are a one day experience. All supplies, refreshments are included. Due to demand we offer these classes on a first paid-first in basis. Scroll down for more information.
