Off-the-street (from$25)

The 'Off the Street' program offers visitors a unique opportunity to make their own work in glass assisted by a trained maker from $25.

Visitors must sign in and book a time slot on weekends at the front desk. You will also be able to select what you wish to make from a range of glass objects on display.

You will receive assistance to create your object, which you can either collect, or have mailed to you to keep as a memento of your visit.

In the Hotshop you will feel the heat of the furnace and experience the movement of molten glass. In the kiln working area you will enjoy designing and assembling glass elements from a range of coloured sheet glass that will be fused together in the Glassworks' kilns. In the flame working area you will be seated in front of a hot torch and after choosing from a selection of beautiful coloured beads you will create your own unique bead under the guidance of a highly skilled maker.

Absolutely no glass experience is necessary for this program which is available from ages 12 years and up.

"Off the street" runs on Saturdays from 10am - 1pm and Sunday's from 1pm - 4pm. 

Further details available by phoning the Glassworks on 02 6260 7005.
