Glass & Wood - Glass blowing

Create a matching spoon and bowl set in this wood carving and glass blowing class, taught by Rose Keightley and Dan Venables.

What to expect
In this engaging multi-medium workshop participants will spend a day learning the basics of wood carving and experience how to carve a wooden spoon. Throughout the day participants will also each have a turn to go into the Hotshop to experience a one-on-one session with an expert glassblower where they will be carefully guided through the process of making a unique glass bowl. 

What to bring
Please bring a water bottle and your enthusiasm! This class has a break for lunch, you may bring your own or purchase lunch locally. To participate in this workshop you must wear fully closed shoes, clothing in natural fabrics (denim, wool, cotton, linen), and have long hair pulled back. You must wear your prescription glasses over contact lenses. All materials and safety equipment for this class will be provided. 

What you will make 
A hand carved spoon, wood care kit and a unique coloured bowl! You can take your spoon home on the day, but your work made in glass will be available to collect 48hrs after the workshop is complete during our opening hours Wednesday to Sunday 10am to 4pm from the Gallery Shop.

During her study she took to carving offcuts from furniture projects as a departure from the noise, dust and fast pace of the busy workshop environment. Rose now works as a designer using Computer Assisted Design alongside traditional prototyping techniques for KOITOYA, an artisan furniture studio in Fyshwick.
