Event description

A wonderful opportunity to work with the studio glass blowers to make your own unique glass pumpkin. These experiences offer you the chance to personalise your pumpkin by applying coloured glass at over 1100 degrees centigrade. Working closely with our Hot Glass Studio Team you will make your own pumpkin, choosing the colour you desire and then watch it come to life.

Please note your pumpkin will be available for collection one week after the workshop. Alternatively, you can arrange for your pumpkin to be posted to you. Costs range from £10 to £20. This is payable at reception on the day of your workshop.
