Five Minutes to a Glass Bauble: Watch Bath Aqua Glass Shape Your Keepsake.
At Bath Aqua Glass, participants pick colours and watch an artisan shape a glass bauble in a matter of minutes. The experience is a focused, hands-on demonstration of glassblowing that produces a personalised keepsake for ages 4 and up; finished pieces cool overnight and are available for collection the next working day or can be posted for an added charge.
Highlights
Outing Highlights
Live glassblowing, made visible
You choose the colours; a glassblower heats and shapes the bauble in a single demonstration, producing the piece within minutes while you watch.
A finished bauble to take home or have posted
Because glass needs to cool slowly, completed baubles are left to anneal overnight and can be collected from the following working day from 2 pm (excluding Sundays), or sent to your address for an additional postage charge.
Accessible for children and adults
The session is intended for people aged 4 and above; it’s a short, hands-on experience suited to families and individuals who want a personalised memento made by a craftsman.

What the session actually feels like
Short and concentrated: you arrive, select colours, and watch as a glassblower gathers, colours and shapes molten glass into a bauble. The active shaping takes only a few minutes per bauble; afterwards the piece must cool slowly overnight before collection or posting the next working day.
