Hiya
Does anyone know if anyone offers lessons close to me here in Bolton? I know about Tuffnells and Tillermans but just wondered if anyone offered taster lessons any closer?

Hi Claire,

It probably isn't close enough for you, but Pearson's Glass in Liverpool do lampworking classes. They run it as a one-day course.

That is where I was first introduced to lampworking. The course was taught by Mike Poole from Tillerman beads.

Here's the link to their site, but you might need to phone them to find out when the courses are running.

Only registered users can see links on this forum!

All the best
