BATH WORKSHOP FIELD GUIDE
Blow Your Bond Into Glass: Craft a Lovers’ Heart Bauble in Bath
A hands-on workshop in Bath (meeting at Ashley Wood Farm, Bathford) where couples spend roughly 15 minutes per bauble choosing colours and jointly blowing a hand‑blown heart that cools overnight for pickup or postage.
Blow Your Bond Into Glass: Craft a Lovers’ Heart Bauble in Bath.
In a compact studio near Bath, couples choose colours, breathe together and shape molten glass into a single heart — a tangible keepsake of a shared moment. The activity is deliberately intimate: each partner contributes breath and choice, producing a heart that must cool slowly overnight before it can be collected or posted the next working day.

Outing Highlights
Make a Hand‑Blown Heart Together
Select favourite colours and, as a pair, blow and shape a glass heart bauble — a simple, ceremonial act that results in a lasting keepsake ideal for anniversaries, engagements or Valentine’s Day.
A Short, Intimate Craft (15 Minutes Per Bauble)
The hands‑on portion runs about 15 minutes per bauble, a focused burst of collaboration at the bench followed by a slower cooling phase.
Cooling, Collection and Engraving Options
Finished hearts must cool overnight in the lehr to avoid cracking; you can pick them up the next working day or request postage, and engraving is available — ask the shop assistant rather than the glassblowers.
