Andrew is pleased to be able to offer Marble Making Tuition from our workshop in Carlisle, he has been Lampworking since 2007 and has been demoing at various glass events in the UK.
You will be using a dual gas torch to learn how to melt glass and make some shiny balls.
You can choose how many hours you would like to work, as scheduled below. You do not need any equipment, just enthusiasm!
The marbles will be annealed in the kiln ready for collection or postage a couple of days after the session.
Prices are £30.00 per hour booked on a one-to-one basis. Please email info@suesimmons.co.uk for more details or to arrange your time.
