For the Ferryman - Glass Workshop

Please note: these workshops are now fully booked. You can join the waiting list using the links above.

Explore the unique and highly specialist skills of working with glass at the world-renowned Stourbridge Glass Museum, creating pieces inspired by the themes of myth and ritual. 

In this workshop you will create mementos of personal value through the medium of glass. Glass, ceramic and stone are often used to create offerings and gifts due to their precious nature. By employing these skilled and unique processes you will use a hot cast glass technique to create a token or gift. By impressing textures, objects in sand and then pouring in the glass, you will immortalise your object! 

Water was often a metaphor for moving to the afterlife, and participants may create small glass boats with hand scribed notes. 

This free event is suitable for all members of the public for age 12 and over. Children 16 and under must be accompanied by an adult. The subject of myth and how historically people create rituals of loss are covered as points of information and inspiration.

This event is part the Myth, Magic and Markings series led by University of Wolverhampton.
