Half-day Glassblowing Tuition Voucher
Tax excluded. Shipping calculated at checkout
Over an intensive three-hour period you will discover the potential of this unique material. You will work closely with your tutor who will guide you through many of the fundamental processes involved in glassblowing. This tuition is very hands-on and will teach you how to gather hot glass from the furnace, then blow, shape and add colour to it. You should produce some basic forms such as baubles, paperweights, and possibly simple vessels such as tumblers.
This is a much more hands-on experience than our shorter experiences workshops, in which many of the more challenging processes are completed by your tutor. It is ideal for anyone who wishes to gain a more detailed appreciation of the craft. It may be purchased for yourself, or given as a gift, to make an unique, fun and memorable present.
This is NOT group tuition as offered by many places, but dedicated one-to-one tuition, ensuring you maximise the learning opportunities and develop your skills as quickly as possible.
Who is it for?
This stimulating experience is for those looking for a proper introduction to the principles and processes of glassblowing and who want to craft some unique and beautiful objects for their home, or to give as gifts. Due to the hands-on nature of this option, the minimum age is 16 years. You do not need any prior experience to take part in this session.
How to book
Demand for in-depth tuition into glassblowing is less predictable than for short experiences. Therefore we schedule dates for these with you directly once you have purchased the voucher via this page. Although we will do our very best, we cannot always guarantee your first choice of date, so we advise you contact us as early as possible if you have a specific date in mind. The voucher is valid for one year from date of purchase. All enquiries and questions should be directed to shop@cumbriacrystal.com

Your glassware always arrives well presented and safely wrapped. The box is a lovely way to present the gift, so the box is part of the celebration. Thank you
Beautiful heavyweight whisky glass. Very well received
The Grasmere Double Old Fashioned 12oz tumblers are absolutely stunning.
The Cumbria craftsmanship and design is exquisite.
There's not a better glass, to enjoy Kentucky Bourbon.
In my opinion, this Cumbria Crystal Grasmere collection is unrivaled.
I absolutely love my gra
Couldn't have given a better gift. The couple loved it!
I love my Grasmere goblets.
Our son and daughter in law bought us two of these glasses and I wanted to another four. We were coming to the Lakes and I called Cumbria Crystal and they recommended I bring a glass with me so we could marry it up with the ones we were buying. The guy that served us was so helpful ( I think he was new) and got us four matching glasses. Despite these being from the factory shop they look perfects. The only difference is some are slightly heavier than others but no one person holds two glasses in their hands.
My son collects the perfect Grasmere range and we buy them for them as presents, the design is really stunning as are the other ranges Cumbria Crystal make. Next time we visit the lakes I will book a tour.
I really like to modern style of the glass, its great quality and weighty which I like. My brandy tastes even better ! Friendly staff and good postage very well wrapped.
A beautiful set of glasses, well made and very stylish..
The Grasmere Goblet and Large Highball are every bit as fabulous as the large whiskey tumblers and large goblets I bought from you recently. I will definitely be adding to my collection very shortly.
Beautiful Gin glass for my Wife's birthday ... compliments my Bond DOF Whiskey glass ....
Thank you x x
This is the second item from the Grasmere range I’ve bought (also bought the 12oz Whiskey Tumbler a few months ago) and they are very good quality. You can feel the weight of the glass & the cutting is outstanding. Customer service is also excellent, straight forward ordering and delivery was good.
I had a set of ten balusters and one was accidentally broken. Thank you for this very heavy and beautiful piece and my set is back to ten in total now,
