Bath Aqua Glass is an independent glassblowing studio and workshop provider based in Bath, England. The studio specialises in a variety of hands‑on glass experiences led by experienced glassblowers and artisans. Sessions range from short, accessible activities such as Breath In A Bauble (suitable for children from age four) to half‑day and full‑day private workshops where participants design and make personalised pieces.
Workshops include clear safety briefings and practical instruction. For extended private hires, a preparatory Zoom meeting may be arranged so participants understand the process before arriving. Instructors guide guests through colour selection, gathering molten glass, shaping techniques and finishing. Finished pieces, including baubles, paperweights and heart baubles, are allowed to cool overnight and are available for collection or delivery.
Bath Aqua Glass offers experiences for different group types: family visits, couple activities like the Lovers’ Heart bauble, hen‑party mosaic sessions with fizz and cake, and stained glass classes that teach cutting, foiling and soldering to create an A4 panel in one day. The studio operates within Bath’s artisan quarter, combining a working glass factory atmosphere with hands‑on teaching.
Bookings are available for individual sessions, group events and private hires. The studio’s focus on structured sessions, skilled instruction and tangible take‑home pieces makes it a reliable choice for creative days out, special occasions and unique gifts in Bath.
