CoURSE Description
A piece of art that changes with the calendar.
By popular demand, we are bringing back one of our most loved evening workshops! The 4 Seasons Candle Votive is a beautiful, 360-degree celebration of nature. Instead of making four separate pieces, you’ll design one exquisite 14cm wide glass holder that displays the unique beauty of Spring, Summer, Autumn, and Winter.
As the next season approaches, simply turn your votive around to reveal a fresh scene that perfectly matches the mood outside.
This isn’t just a craft class; it’s a creative night out. Whether you’re a complete beginner or a seasoned glass enthusiast, you’ll have everything you need to create something professional and personal.
-
Design & Create: Use an array of gorgeous decorative glass items—frit, stringers, and confetti—in a spectrum of colours to build your seasonal scenes.
-
Expert Guidance: We’ll show you how to layer and compose your glass so it looks stunning when lit from within.
-
The “Feel-Good” Factor: We believe creativity should be fun. We’ll have a soundtrack of cheesy 80s hits playing in the background, so feel free to have a little dance while you work!
-
Refreshments: It’s a social affair! Feel free to bring your favourite tipple and nibbles. We provide the wine glasses and a warm, welcoming atmosphere.
Once your design is finished, it stays with us for a few days. We’ll fire it in our professional kilns to fuse the glass together and slump it into its final circular shape. You’ll be able to collect your finished masterpiece later in the week—ready to take pride of place on your table or to give as a truly special handmade gift.
Spaces are limited to ensure everyone gets plenty of desk space and guidance.
Don’t miss out on our most requested date of the season!
FAQs
Q: What should I wear?
A: Just comfortable clothes you don’t mind getting a bit dusty, and closed-toe shoes (nothing open like sandals or flip-flops). Avoid loose sleeves if possible, but we have elastic bands if needed.
Q: What's included in the course price?
A: Everything you need – all glass, tools, kiln firing, safety equipment, tea and coffee throughout the day, and biscuits. You just need to bring yourself! The only extra would be if you want to make additional pieces beyond what’s included in the course.
Q: Do I take my finished pieces home the same day?
For fusing courses, no – your pieces need to go in the kiln, so you can collect them when they’re ready (usually a week or so later) or we can post them to you but we really don’t recommend postage because glass is easily broken in the post. You can choose postage at your own risk, we charge a minimum of £8 (depending on the size of the piece) to cover postage cost & packaging.
For stained glass, copper foiling and other non-fusing courses, yes – you take them home at the end of the course.
Q: What if I don't finish my piece?
A: Don’t worry, we build in enough time for everyone to complete their projects. Jennifer keeps an eye on everyone’s progress. If you’re a bit slower, that’s fine – we’d rather you do it properly than rush.
Q: Is lunch provided?
A: We provide tea, coffee, and biscuits throughout the day, but not lunch. You’re welcome to bring sandwiches to eat in our comfy break area or outside if the weather’s nice, or there are plenty of nice pubs & cafes approx 1 mile away in the centre of Frodsham.
Q: How do I find you?
A: We’re pretty easy to find – just off the main road between Frodsham and Kingsley. We’re upstairs in the Barn at Bradley Farm Stables (look out for the horses 🙂 )

Bradley Farm,
