The Institute of Modern Art and Lawn Bowls are teaming up to deliver fun workshops that will introduce you to the whimsical world of fused glass. These cosy workshops keep things small, so you get plenty of one-on-one time with Lawn Bowl’s glassmaker Finn O’Sullivan.

Over a relaxed two hour session, you’ll get hands-on with the tools and techniques needed to create your very own adorable ‘Poochie Pet’ family. But where did these little creatures come from? Poochie Pets first began as an idea in Finn’s childhood — a tiny companion you could carry in your pocket. Back then, they were made of paper. Now, Finn brings them to life in vibrant glass and shares them with new friends.

No experience needed. Bring your imagination and get ready to play with glass.

Your finished Poochie Pets will be glued together during the session and whisked away to the Lawn Bowls studio for firing. Once they have been fused and cooled, your shiny new glass companions will be delivered right back to you.

Three session times available: 

9-11am, 12-2pm, 3-5pm

Registrations are essential. Workshops are limited to 12 participants.
