Glass & Craft is a craft workshop studio at Kersey Mill offering hands-on creative activities in two dedicated craft areas. You can choose from glass painting (design templates on wine glasses, prosecco glasses or pint glasses), ceramic painting (bowls, mugs, tiles, plates), bear building with stuffable fluffy bears and personalised clothing, decopatch with colourful paper on 3D figures, sand art using 12 brightly coloured sands, foam clay moulding, wood painting and mosaics (workshops only). The studios seat up to 35 people and serve food, snacks and drinks. During summer months there is an outside craft area with a children's slide and sandpit. Birthday parties available from age 4 upwards, with most including at least two crafts. Walk-ins normally welcome, though booking advised during school holidays and weekends.
Open Monday to Saturday during the Summer Holidays (closed Sundays).
Questions parents ask
- Is there food at Glass & Craft, or do we need to bring a packed lunch?
- There is a café serving food, snacks and drinks in the craft studios. There is also a Crafternoon Tea offer in partnership with The Millers Kitchen at Kersey Mill, which includes afternoon tea alongside a craft activity.
- Do we need to book in advance, or can we just turn up?

- Does it work on rainy days?
- Yes, Glass & Craft is indoors in dedicated craft workshop areas. The page notes that rainy weekends can be busy, so booking is advisable.
