Lofoten Glass is a glass jewelry studio based in Kabelvåg, Nordland, offering hands-on bead-making workshops for visitors and locals. Featured on The Adventure Collective, Lofoten Glass focuses on compact, creative experiences that let participants design and craft wearable glass jewelry in a single session. Workshops are available in three formats: a 3-hour workshop to make three unique pieces, a 2-hour workshop to make two pieces, and a 1-hour session to create 2–3 beads for a necklace, earrings, or a keychain.
Each class teaches techniques for forming and finishing glass beads and guides participants through designing their own necklaces, bracelets, or earrings. Materials provided include high-quality gold and silver components used to assemble finished jewelry.
Sessions take place in Kabelvåg, Nordland, with an emphasis on practical, hands-on instruction and finished wearable results. The format suits beginners and those seeking a creative souvenir or a custom accessory made during a short visit to the Lofoten islands.
Booking options accommodate different schedules with 1-, 2-, and 3-hour durations, and each workshop produces multiple finished pieces to take home. Lofoten Glass presents clear, session-based offerings focused on small-scale jewelry projects, tangible outcomes, and the opportunity to learn bead-making techniques using premium materials. The studio’s appearance on The Adventure Collective helps travelers discover these concise, craft-focused experiences in Kabelvåg.
Participants leave with finished, customized wearable pieces and clear instructions for basic bead assembly techniques to practice after the workshop. Workshops are suitable for adults and older children accompanied by an adult. Materials are provided on-site.
