The Scottish Maritime Museum on Irvine Harbourside brings back the ever-popular Glass Workshops with Autumn sessions running from now until Saturday 31 October.
The workshops, which suit absolute beginners keen to try a captivating new craft through to seasoned glass artists looking for fresh inspiration, give participants the chance to experience the excitement of shaping molten glass using a live flame.
