Blown Away comes to UCA Farnham
Glass Blowing demonstrations and Artist Talks

About the event

The University for the Creative Arts is excited to host three glass events as part of Farnham Craft Month.

On Friday 27 October, Netflix’s hit series Blown Away winners Elliot Walker and John Moran will be demonstrating their glass blowing talents in our world class workshops. Come and see Elliot and John create their stunning sculptures and witness the ancient art of glass blowing. The live demonstrations will be followed by an artist talk in the new, state of the art lecture theatre.
