Glassmaking with Samantha Sweet
Samantha Sweet MA studied Ceramics and Glass at the Royal College of Art. She has over 20 years of expertise and experience in glassmaking and her name is associated with the highest quality craft and design.
Sam spent 2017/2018 focused on a project to build a glassmaking studio in her leafy and peaceful back garden in East Finchley. It will be from this studio that Sam will be introducing glassmaking classes starting in Autumn 2018.
In Sam's new one-to-one class you will learn to make glass beads and decorative techniques. Using a choice of transparent and opaque colours Sam will teach you to begin working with molten glass heated in the flame and progress to making beads and decorating them. You will make around 4 beads in your session which are yours to keep once they have been cooled down gradually in a digitally controlled kiln to remove internal stress. As this process takes several hours, your beads will be cleaned and posted out to you soon after your session.
Head to our new workshops page for prices including an Introductory Offer for September 2018.
