About

Create Your Own Bauble - Embrace A Time-Honoured Tradition

Indulge in the annual tradition of glassmaking at Teign Valley Glass Studio, and infuse your festive season with a touch of magic by crafting your very own handmade bauble. This special workshop offers the perfect opportunity to create cherished memories with loved ones as you each take a turn at the craft or fashion unique presents, even for the most difficult-to-shop-for individuals.

But the experience is more than just creating a beautiful bauble; it's a voyage into the age-old tradition of glass blowing. You'll discover the artistry and skill required to create such breathtaking works of art. The bauble-making course also offers the opportunity to craft a unique present, made with love and sure to be treasured for years to come.

Why This Workshop is Special:
The workshop's main attraction is the chance to craft your own stunning bauble that sparkles and catches the light in mesmerising ways. Add your choices of frit (the colour part) into the molten clear glass to bring your creation to life, and shape it on the end of a punt (metal rod). Breathe down through the tube and watch as the control of air shapes your bauble into a sphere.

As you continue shaping and refining your masterpiece, add the finishing touch by gently curving an extra piece of molten glass on top, around to create a loop. This loop will elegantly hang your creation on your Christmas tree.

After the workshop, your creation will require 2-3 days to cool down in the annealer. You have the option of home delivery* or collecting it at your convenience.

Dress Code for Glass Crafting:
Closed-Toe Shoes: Essential for foot protection; no sandals or open-toed shoes.
Natural Fibre Clothing: Wear cotton for better heat resistance than synthetic fabrics.
Protective Attire: Long pants (like jeans) and a fitted long-sleeved top are ideal. Avoid flowy outfits or skirts. Short sleeves are acceptable.
Hair Ties: Secure long hair to keep it away from your face and flames.
Minimal Jewellery: Remove accessories that could snag or conduct heat.
Safety Glasses: Provided on-site to protect your eyes.
Following these guidelines ensures a safe and enjoyable experience. Let's create something amazing together!
