Primary Education

Our school workshops are even more popular than ever. We suggest you book at least six weeks in advance to avoid disappointment. If you would like to get in touch about booking a workshop please complete our School Booking Enquiry Form and a member of our team will get back to you.


At National Glass Centre we use glass to help young people explore STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Art and Maths) subjects. We encourage creativity and using our exhibitions as inspiration for children to learn about the art, science and history of glass.

Our Learning and Engagement team are all Arts and Design graduates and share their knowledge, skills and enthusiasm for creative learning when they facilitate these exciting school workshops.

Witness the changing states of this amazing material as molten glass is formed into a finished, solid object. All of our visits include the opportunity to see glass being made in our hot glass studio. Our skilled professionals provide a commentary which describes the tools, science and creative making processes that are being showcased.
