Glass Lab Edinburgh is a supportive community and has a well-equipped studio to help you realise your own creative development. We have various levels of membership to accommodate your studio access needs: rent a table for a month, rent kilns for your firings, or rent equipment for just a few hours.
​
We have five flatbed kilns, a large sandblaster, a linisher, glass drill, and lots of other tools and equipment.
​
RENT EQUIPMENT
Rent by the hour, or discuss with us your needs.

Our Guyson sandblaster can easily accommodate jobs both large and small. The chamber is more than 1.5 m high, 1.2 m wide, and has a pass-through to accommodate even larger sheets.
Our water-fed Bohle glass drill has a range of diamond bits to drill a range of hole sizes in your glass. Its long arm means holes can be drilled up to 50 cm from any edge.
Our Bohle linisher is a premium machine that can be used to grind edges, and polish glass. We have belts in the following grits: 80, 180, 200, 400 and cork.
Glass Lab has a range of diamond saws to use to cut otherwise impossible shapes in your glass!
