Event description

In this one-day class we will make a number of marbles starting of with clear and moving on through the day to produce marbles with coloured patterns on the outside, mixed coloured twists on the inside and trapping bubbles inside the glass. By the end of the class, you will have your very own hand made marbles.

Marbles you make have to be annealed overnight, so you will have to come back to pick up your work, If you are unable to pick up your work please inform when booking and we can arrange postage of your items. Please wear full shoes, not sandals or open toes for this activity. Also it would be helpful to wear old clothes or bring an apron with you
