I am pleased to be able to offer Lampworking Tuition from my workshop in Carlisle, I have been Lampworking since 2007 and have taught from my own workshop and at Higham Hall in Cumbria.

We will be using a dual gas torch to learn how to melt glass and make some pretty beads.

You can choose how many hours you would like to work, as scheduled below. You do not need any equipment, just enthusiasm!

The beads will be annealled in the kiln ready for collection or postage a couple of days after the session.

Prices are £30.00 per hour booked on a one-to-one basis.  Please email info@suesimmons.co.uk for more details or to book.
