Important to know:
To help our tutors provide the best possible experience for everyone, we kindly ask that participants attending are aware of the following:
- Age Requirements – participants must be 18 years old or over.
- Ability to stand for extended periods – this workshop involves hands-on work at a bench or worktable.
- Good hand and grip strength – cutting, shaping, and handling glass requires some pressure and control.
- Steady hands – precision is important when working with glass and applying fine detail.
- Ability to follow instructions – for safety and best results, it’s essential to work step-by-step with your tutor’s guidance.
- Workshop safety – wearing closed shoes is mandatory; avoid eating and drinking around cut glass; and wash your hands before eating to ensure there are no glass particles on your skin.
If you’re unsure about any of the above, feel free to get in touch to discuss if the class is right for you.
