About Us
Our
Story
Brighton Glassblowing is more than a studio—it’s a space where creativity, connection, and craftsmanship come together. Founded by Gordon, a self-taught glass artist with over a decade of hands-on experience, our studio was born from passion and built to give others a chance to discover the magic of molten glass.
​
Gordon’s journey began with a spark—one unexpected encounter with glassblowing that changed everything. With no formal path available, he taught himself, one flame at a time. Today, he shares that knowledge and energy with hundreds of guests each year, making Brighton Glassblowing the only place in the UK to offer this fully immersive style of lampworking.
​
We work exclusively with borosilicate glass, known for its strength, beauty, and brilliant colour. Our space is kitted out with five permanent torch stations and premium tools from the world’s top glassmaking brands, making it safe, welcoming, and professional.
​
We believe in hands-on creativity. In every session, you’re not watching—you’re doing. We guide you, step-by-step, to success. It’s mindful, meditative, and truly one of a kind.
​
Whether you’re a complete beginner or a curious artist, Brighton Glassblowing is your chance to create with fire, connect with others, and leave with more than just a handmade piece—you’ll take home a memory.
