Education/training

The Glass Hub

The Glass Hub is an educational centre based in South West England where students of all abilities can learn and develop the craft of glassmaking. At The Glass Hub we provide extensive glass-working facilities alongside the support of an excellent, highly qualified and experienced team of tutors to foster individual creative growth and expertise. We offer short courses, masterclasses, longer termly technique-focused classes, and studio/equipment hire. See www.theglasshub.co.uk

The Glass Hub is a glass school aimed at providing courses which develop and foster glass skills, run by KT Yun and Helga Watkins-Baker. They both have many years of teaching practice, KT worked with glassblower Sonja Klingler and more recently developed Minimelt glass, mini furnaces and studio equipment for small scale and domestic glass blowing. Helga wrote ‘Kiln Forming Glass’, a comprehensive guide to warm glass processes and glass casting, and was Chairperson of the CGS from 2004-8. They brought their skills and experience together to create The Glass Hub, a glass school which is focused on creativity and expertise, dedicated to keeping glass skills alive.

Jonathan Rogers and Phoebe Stubbs, hotshop for rent

Jonathan Rogers and Phoebe Stubbs have set up a new business - Batch offering bench time for rent in their hotshop and teaching for people who are keen to learn.

Jonathan sent me a note to let me know that they will be running a 3 day foundational course from the 27th to 29th of October.  This would be suitable for anyone who wants to make rapid improvements in their blowing technique.

They are based in Clavering, Essex.
