Three Hour Glass Making for One with Bransfield Glassmakers

In Derek Bransfield’s studio, glass making becomes wonderfully tangible as the furnace heat meets careful technique. Begin with an introduction to the craft and the tools of the trade, then gather molten glass and shape it into a paperweight with expert guidance. Add colour for a personal finish before enjoying a glassblowing demonstration that reveals the next level of skill.
