点评:We visited Stourbridge Glass Museum on Saturday 6th December for their bauble decorating workshop, and it seemed more popular than ever. This was our third year attending, and it has truly become a tradition we look forward to every year.
The baubles are always fantastic quality, and my son absolutely loves choosing the decorations for his design. Even though the event is busy, it never feels rushed—you’re given plenty of time to make sure your bauble is just right. While waiting for the bauble to be sandblasted, you have the opportunity to watch the glassmakers at work, which is one of my favourite parts of the experience. It’s fascinating to see their skill up close.
Afterwards, you can have your bauble engraved, and there’s also the chance to purchase additional baubles from Terri—another highlight for me! She’s happy to personalise these too, which makes them extra special.
The museum itself is brilliant, with so many wonderful pieces on display and a great insight into the history of the glass industry. The hot chocolate as you walk around is always a big hit as well!
We look forward to this event every year and would highly recommend it to everyone. We can’t wait for 2026 already!
翻译:12月6日星期六,我们参观了斯托布里奇玻璃博物馆,参加了他们的玻璃球装饰工作坊。今年似乎比往年更受欢迎。这已经是我们第三年参加了,它真的已经成为我们每年都非常期待的传统。
玻璃球的品质一如既往地好,我儿子特别喜欢挑选装饰物来设计自己的作品。虽然活动现场人很多,但一点也不觉得匆忙——你有充足的时间来确保你的玻璃球完美无瑕。在等待玻璃球被喷砂处理的时候,你还有机会观看玻璃工匠们的工作,这是我最喜欢的部分之一。近距离欣赏他们的技艺真是令人着迷。
之后,你可以请他们在玻璃球上刻字,还可以从Terri那里购买额外的玻璃球——这对我来说也是一大亮点!她也很乐意为这些玻璃球进行个性化定制,让它们更加特别。
博物馆本身也很棒,展出了许多精美的玻璃制品,让人对玻璃行业的历史有了更深入的了解。边走边喝的热巧克力也总是很受欢迎!
我们每年都非常期待这个活动,并强烈推荐给大家。我们已经开始期待2026年的到来了!
