Anyone for glass blowing?

Hi 
My name is Lindsay Perth, I’m building an art work for the new health centre in Pennywell. I’m building a glass chandelier where the lamps are hand blown by members of the community who will use the health centre and NHS staff who will work there. The artwork will be interactive and respond to people’s movement in the Atrium space.
The workshop is closely supported by glass blower Ingrid Philipps and takes place at Edinburgh College of Art near the Blood Donor centre on Lauriston Place.
I have spaces left in a glass blowing workshop next Saturday (June 10) 9:30am-12:30pm (some flexibility if can only do afternoon session). If you would be interested please get in touch with me at lindsayperth@gmail.com or text me on 07974 959535.
Some photos are attached to show you last weeks participants glassblowing some gorgeous pieces!
best wishes
Lindsay

About the show

What on earth is under your feet?

Explore the ground and all of its wriggling inhabitants in this quirky dance show for young children.  Performed on real turf, Grass is a sensory and gently interactive show featuring worms, snails, spontaneous outbreaks of ant dancing and plenty of obscure insect-related facts. Weaving together performance, puppetry and projection, watch the dancers delve down into the world beneath our feet whilst breathing in the scent of freshly-cut grass.

Grass aims to inspire children to look closely at the world around them, get moving, get mucky and play!  Join us for a special session after the show to ‘Stay and Play’ with some of the set which is filled with sand, soil, vegetables to dig and small insects to find.

Grass is supported by the East Midlands Children’s Theatre and Dance Network  and co-investment from Pavilion Dance South West, Gulbenkian, Dance Village at Bristol Harbour Festival, Stratford Circus, South East Dance and Surrey Dance Partnership.
