Awesome experience in Devon

Awesome experience in Devon! Me and my partner Hannah did a half day glass blowing experience and loved it. Issac was a brilliant teacher, and within about 20 minutes of being in the studio had us actually moulding and shaping molten glass. We made three pieces during the workshop and picked them up after they’d cooled down. This was a very good 30th birthday, highly recommend.

Fun and interesting afternoon

Friendly and welcoming family run business where my son and I had our first try at glassblowing, something I had been wanting to try for a long time. We had our choice of items to make and colours to use and were talked through every step of the process, getting as hands on as possible. Definitely an experience to remember and one I would recommend.

Glass Blowing - hands on course


Given as a recent birthday present to me by my wife; what wonderful experience it was! Firstly it was easy to find (great instructions) and in very beautiful surroundings . The instruction and guidance by Izach and Debby was first class. I produce three items in the time; namely a paper weight, vase and a bowl ~ using striking colours. Many friends have already commented on the high quality of the items that I created! I would highly recommend the course and would at look at going again, thanks Guys👍

Amazing glass blowing experience

Debby was really helpful from the first inquiry I made, really quick responses. On the day we were greeted and made to feel so welcome. It’s such a beautiful place. Meeting Izach who explains everything so well and is so patient and amazing at what he does, we created some amazing pieces of glass while Debby took photos and videos. Will definitely be going back again soon.

What a brilliant experience

What a brilliant experience. My wife booked this for our wedding anniversary and we loved it. On arrival we had a lovely welcome by Debby followed by a quick visit to the office to see what it would be possible to make. Then down to the workshop to meet Izach for the tour and safety brief. We were then straight in to it. Fantastic, well delivered guidance and encouragement from a highly skilled Izach resulted in us producing 3 lovely pieces, a paper weight, posey vase and my new whiskey glass. One of the most enjoyable things I have done in a long time. We will be back, ( I need a whiskey decanter to match.) Thank you Fire Work Glass Studio.

A wonderful experience

I booked a session as a birthday gift and couldn't be happier with my choice. We both had an excellent time. There was a good balance of hands-on and verbal guidance, and they went above and beyond to accommodate our designs.
Highly recommended

A great experience

Hi,
My wife and I really enjoyed the whole experience. Izach and Debby were both very welcoming and also very professional in what they were doing. Izach is a great teacher who his passionate about his craft.
At the end of the session we had all produced a glass item, in my case a very nice blue paper weight
Just to say Debby took some great pictures and a short video of us all working, the photos all gave the impression we were all “seasoned professionals “
I would recommend anybody to try one of these glass blowing courses, you will have a lot of fun and learn a lot.
By the way you’ll love their dogs .

Fabulous experience!

Thank you Debby and Izach for a fabulous afternoon. We had a great time and learned so much. It was so much fun to try out so many different techniques and use different tools to make our pieces. Izach is so skilled and knowledgeable at what he does so we were definitely in safe hands! Debby took lots of pictures and videos of us which were such a lovely memento of the day. We felt very impressed with ourselves when we collected them the next day! Such a memorable experience - would absolutely recommend!

We had such a wonderful morning in the glass studio. Izach is such a passionate, knowledgable teacher. He guided us through not only the steps we needed to take to create our pieces, but the science behind it too. Fascinating stuff! We're thrilled with the paperweight, glass and vase that we made. And would highly recommend this experience to anyone considering it.

Superb!!

Superb!!

A mother, daughter outing to celebrate a birthday and what a wonderful time we had.

Situated in the most beautiful setting, welcomed warmly by Debby and Izach (as well as their lovely doggy Shaka)

Izach teaches you the basics of glass art and will allow you to make your desired piece, getting as hands-on as possible throughout each phase of the creation while learning about each phase and the equipment used.

Debby and Izach work so well together ensuring that each process is as seamless as possible. Debby takes some fantastic photos throughout the experience and sends them over when finished - a lovely touch!

We all enjoyed it so much, we will return in the summer to make another piece!

Such great value for a wholesome and fun experience. Thank you so much.

(Glass) blown away!

I recently had the pleasure of attending a glass art experience at Fire Work Glass Studio in Dipford near Totnes, and it was absolutely fantastic! From start to finish, the session was engaging, educational, and incredibly enjoyable.

The process was fast-paced but well-structured, ensuring we learned a lot while still having the freedom to explore our creativity (under the expert guidance of Izach). The hands-on approach allowed us to choose our own designs and techniques, making the experience feel personal and meaningful. My wife created some beautiful glasswork, while I crafted a whisky glass, and we were both thrilled with the results.

The atmosphere in the studio was warm and welcoming. Our group was small, which made for an intimate experience. Izach and Debby were knowledgeable, patient, and friendly, guiding us through each step while keeping the experience relaxed and fun. They even provided tea and coffee, adding to the homely feel.

A lovely touch was the recommendation to visit a local pub afterward (The Avon Inn), which rounded off the day perfectly. A few days later, we collected our finished pieces, which were beautifully crafted and will serve as lasting reminders of a truly special experience. When we collected we took our boys and Debby gave them a quick demonstration. They have a Hungarian Vizsla which tells you they are good people!

I highly recommend The Fire Work Glass Studio for anyone looking for a unique and creative activity near Totnes. Whether you’re a complete beginner or have some artistic experience, this is a fantastic way to learn a new skill and create something meaningful.

This was a fantastic experience, it was so much fun!

This was a fantastic experience. Debby was so helpful with the booking & really friendly on arrival. Izach was brilliant, he explained everything as we went along & it was really interesting to learn the science behind it. He helped us make lovely glass & it was a really exciting experience. He’s so enthusiastic. The shop has amazing glass in it too. I would definitely do this again, I loved it.

What an amazing experience. You can’t help but get swept up by Izach and Debby’s enthusiasm and knowledge. My 17yr old daughter and I loved every minute of working in the studio creating wonderful pieces expertly guided by Izach. I cannot recommend highly enough.

An amazing experience. Such lovely people.

I was bought the experience by my family for my 50th Birthday.

From the moment we arrived we were made to feel welcome by Debbie and Izach who are both extremely knowledgeable and their passion is obvious.

Izach provided the perfect balance of guiding and teaching and including me in every step. It's very hands on and the skill he displays is amazing. We created some lovely pieces and the whole set up is very professional and the atmosphere was great.

I could not recommend this any more highly. It was amazing and it is an experience I will remember forever.
