Studio Rental

For those of you bitten by the glassy bug that are unable to set up at home, it is also possible to hire my studio for unsupervised torch time by the hour. Please bear in mind that your time in the studio will be charged from the time booked, not from your time of arrival.

 

The price strats at £10.00 ph hour with reduced rates for block bookings and will include the use of one work station with a Nortel Minor torch, oxygen concentrator, safety glasses, mandrels, kiln and tools. 

 

Studio rental does not include glass, frit or other raw materials, please provide your own. Any tools broken or damaged during studio hire must be replaced at your own cost.

Previous experience required.

 

There will be a one off charge of £25.00 for an introductory session covering health and safety and best practice in use of studio equipment which will last for approximately one hour.

 

 

Many Thanks, Jolene.
