A record range of workshops for 2019 Festival

The 2019 Festival of Glass will feature a record number of workshops already and there could be more - the Festival is still five months away!

Davide Penso

Venetian glass master and jewellery designer Davide Penso will run a 4-day masterclass – Glass Jewellery Lab: from wondering to wearing. This event, which will be the first of its kind at the Festival of Glass. As its name implies, it won’t be just a workshop, it will be a laboratory, where participants can test, try and perfect fresh, new jewellery ideas under Davide’s individualised expert assistance and guidance. All you need to bring are your jewellery ideas (and maybe a lab coat!).

In another Festival first, there will be a specialist workshop on sculpting and fusing borosilicate glass - More is Better - run by Karina Guevin and Cedric Ginart, two more of our international Artists in Residence.

You can see all the details about each workshop in the Festival web site (www.festivalofglass.net.au), from where you can book places directly using Eventbrite.

Oh, by the way ....

You might think that there’s no need to book yet – after all, the workshops are months away! Think again - places at each workshop are limited and places are being booked already!
