Glass Bead Workshop at Lofoten Glass

Work with Molten Glass

A Hands-On Glass Bead Workshop in Lofoten

The Glass Bead Workshop at Lofoten Glass is a calm, creative experience where you slow down and focus on the material in your hands.

Glass bead making is a tactile and engaging process. You work with heat, movement and timing at the same time, using both hands and staying present in each step. It’s an activity that requires attention and coordination, but it is accessible to everyone and guided carefully throughout. During the workshop, you will create up to three glass beads, each one unique.

The workshop itself lasts around one hour, but the experience doesn’t end there. After finishing your beads, you are welcome to stay in the gallery for as long as you like.

The gallery features glass art inspired by the Northern Lights and the Midnight Sun, offering a deeper look into how light, colour and nature influence glass art in Lofoten. You are free to explore, take your time and enjoy the space at your own rhythm.

Important Information:

Meeting Point: Lofoten Glass, Steinveien 15, Kabelvåg. Please arrive 10 minutes before the workshop starts. Free parking is available at the gallery.

A fantastic experience with Hooked on Lofoten! We had five people on the boat, and the guide was absolutely great. Even though the fishing season is quite challenging right now, I managed to catch three large cod and several saithe. A really wonderful extra service at the end: the guide professionally gutted and cleaned the catch, so I was able to take the fish with me perfectly prepared to eat. Highly recommended!

He was extremely knowledgeable, friendly and humorous and cooked us some fantastic fresh fish burgers for lunch. Would highly recommend this to anyone, whether beginner or more experienced! Thanks for the enjoyable day 😊 Linden, Kent & Yeen

Erland is an incredibly knowledgeable guy with bags of humour too - ask about his fish butchery! We got a unique experience that we won’t forget in a hurry. Top class, would recommend to anyone in Lofoten (and although not included, the sauna and dip in the sea after was the cherry on the top!). Also shout out to the Nyvågar restaurant and hotel staff who were top notch as well!

Vi var heldig med været og alle sammen fikk flere fisker hver. Vi matet havørn med de minste fiskene, før vi dro inn til kai hvor Erlend viste oss hvordan man sløyer fisken. Vil i aller høysete grad anbefale denne turen!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. This was a super day! Erland is very professional and a really nice guy! Talkative in a good and relaxed way and was both joking and telling anecdotes. After the fishing trip he instructed us how to take care of every part of the fish and cut up the fish for us. We also had the Hooked and cooked experience were Erland instructs the chef how he should serve every bit of the fish, and the chef at Nyvågar was incredible in making Erlands vision come to life. Amazing day and amazing dinner with our own fish! Worth every penny spent!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. If you want a small group excursion with local guides, this is the place! I wish we’d found them sooner because this was by far our favorite experience in Lofoten. Erland was very genuine and knowledgeable, let us know what to expect, and was very kind and accommodating with our 4yo— even setting up a child’s fishing rod for him to use. Don’t skip the chef’s preparation, the food is incredible— and not just because you helped catch it!

Our day with Hooked on Lofoten was truly one of our best days in Norway. We cannot recommend this trip enough to people who want a great experience, whether you’re a fishing purist or a nature lover. Lasse was truly amazing, so knowledgeable and kind. He gave us an incredible day, and his cooking was top notch!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We had a couple of great days with Lasse and Eirik (separately) hiking & cycling. Both are clearly passionate about Lofoten, knowledgable and led our group confidently.
They’re also nice, respectful guys who felt like an extension of our group and were able to adapt to our needs easily- making for an even more enjoyable trip. Would book again if I’m ever lucky enough to be back in Lofoten ;)
