How should I prepare for the workshop?
For the workshop we recommend you to wear a long-sleeve cotton shirt and closed shoes. If you have long hair, tie it up. It will be hot in the studio, especially in summer, so bring a bottle of drinking water.
What do I do if anyone in my group has allergies or diet restrictions?
Let us know at the time of booking and we will adjust the menu to your needs.
How do I best commute there
Skansen is located at Djurgården in central Stockholm. There are great public transportation opportunities including the tram 7, Djurgården ferry 82 or bus 67.
Where do I find parking by Skansen?
Skansen has paid parking by the main entrance or you can park at Östermalm and walk 10 minutes to Skansen.
How many people can participate in a dinner?
It depends what kind of package you would like. For the Big and Small Menu Package the group should be 8-12 people. For the Mingle Package, the minimum is 12 people.
Do I need to pay Skansen's entrance fee to participate in a Lava Cooking dinner?
If you are here only for the workshop, you don't need to buy a ticket. However, we offer a half-price entrance for workshops participants who want to walk around Skansen. Make sure to inform us which alternative you chose and go to the Skansen's special entrance on the left side of the gate and tell your name and visit purpose to get in. If you do not let us know your choice in advance, we assume you will only visit the glass studio and leave Skansen after the workshop.
Is there an age limit for the participants?
Our recommended age limit is 10 years, but we can also instruct younger children and help them a little more than adults if we think they need it.
Will there be other participants watching at the same time as me?
During regular business hours the studio is open for everyone visiting Skansen. Lava Cooking is however a private event so there will only be people from the event watching. This is a private booking and only your group will be present.
Do I need to have any previous experience in glass blowing?
No, the workshops are suited for beginners with no experience. If you have prior experience, we can make your course more advanced.
Can I bring small children with me to watch?
Yes, as long as someone can look after them. Children of any age are welcome to learn about glass blowing. Please don't leave small children unsupervised in the hot shop.
May I bring my pet with me?
No pets are allowed in Skansen. The only dogs allowed are assistance dogs. Dogs assisting disabled guests should be properly vaccinated and wear a vest.
When and how do I pick up the items that I made?
The glass items will slowly cool down in the annealing oven to prevent the glass from cracking. You can pick up your glass two days later. When you come to pick up your items, show us the receipt/note that you receive after the workshop. We will keep your glass items ready for pick up for max 6 months after the workshop. After 6 months we recycle your glass items. If you can't come or send someone to the studio after the workshop, discuss shipping possibilities with our staff on the spot. Additional shipping fees will apply.
