Event description

Create a Car, Fish, Butterfly, Owl using sand to make a mould. Add your own colour and decoration to make your design unique. Watch as your design is transformed by our studio team who will pour molten glass into your mould to produce your own individual piece of art.

*Items created in this experience need time to cool and are not immediately available to take away with you on the day. Sandcasts will be available to pick up one week after your session. Please note – Sandcast objects have a textured/sandy surface on the reverse side and may contain bubbles.
