The Continuing Education Department is proud to run its own glass workshop which offers a unique specialism taught in only a few institutions in the UK.  Over time as this medium has been relegated to more specialist venues, it has found an exciting place within Con Ed.  Our courses offer students the chance to learn while testing the boundaries of this fluid material.
