Bath Aqua Glass

Bath


The reason to visit this branch of Bath Aqua Glass over the one in the city centre, is that here you can see the glassblowers at work. Both outlets specialise in rich aquamarine colours with the pendants, bottles and paperweights often echoing Bath's Roman and Georgian history. Daily demonstrations (adult/child £4.50/3) at 11.15am and 2.15pm talk you through the tricks of the trade.

Fancy having a go? A half-day, introductory workshop (Saturday only) costs £120.
