After a cup of tea or coffee at Ryde cafe on arrival, we will visit Mark Fenn’s glass studio to see him glassblowing his unique honey-infused glass, and we will also enjoy a visit to Simon Shaw’s ceramics studio to hear him speak about his working methods and see him demonstrate making a ceramic vessel. Each studio visit will last approximately 45 minutes.
