If you want to extend your experience, why not book your group into our Glass Fusing Studio? Your group will work in our courtyard studio. They will design and decorate a glass tile using Bullseye glass. The tiles will be fused in a kiln overnight. You will need to arrange collection. Please allow one hour. The studio holds 12 people. If your group is up to 24 and would like to do the fusing, we would split you into two groups, half doing the tour, half in the studio and then swap.
Please contact us with several date options and a member of the museum team will call you back to discuss your visit.
