Step into the heat of the Glass Lab, a special Science Week 2025 event where science meets fire in a live glassblowing demo that reveals the secrets behind molten glass!

Watch as expert glass artists shape glowing, 1,100°C glass right before your eyes, exploring the physics, chemistry, and transformation of materials in real time.

Learn how raw materials become art, discover what makes glass flow, and see science in action in this thrilling, hands-on celebration of Science Week 2025.

The Hotshop demo is free to attend and suited for children aged 8 to 15 years old.

After the demo, dive even deeper in Kiln Chemistry: Striker Fish — a hands-on workshop where kids design their own fused glass fish using magical Bullseye Striker glass that changes colour when fired! Learn about heat, colour reactions, and the science of fusing in a fun, creative environment. N.B this workshop is paid entry.
