Facilities

—Workshop spaces in which visitors can gain hands-on experience of glazing and glass-painting, or experience the work of other professional artists and craftspeople demonstrating and sharing the methods, skills and traditions of their crafts. Formal workshops will often be based on real projects and commissions, and will involve students, placement workers or apprentices. The emphasis will be on live engagement with the work in hand. See our Events page for details of upcoming workshops.

—A permanent display illustrating the art, craft, techniques and technology of glass, designed to engage teachers and pupils, and to stimulate the general public, students and artists alike.
