I had the most wonderful day at the workshop. Tay was a great instructor for a group of people with absolutely no experience.. highly recommended!

The workshop was a birthday present for my daughter and we attended one run by Ruth in August. Whilst I enjoy crafting I was a little apprehensive as I had zero experience. I needn’t have worried as the class was really well done. Ruth was an excellent tutor, she gave advice when needed, but she also let us work independently if that was our choice. I learnt lots of new skills and produced a lovely piece of glass that I am quite proud of. My daughter loved it.
My daughter, Amber, and I attended a workshop in Launceston on 6th September 2024 which was run by Ruth, whom I had met on a previous workshop the year before.
The workshop was once again great fun with excellent tutoring and support with ideas, techniques and those tricky bits of glass that were just awkward to cut!
There were plenty of materials to use and experiment with. Each person in the workshop produced something different and totally unique.
I would definitely recommend this great-value-for-money workshop to anyone whilst holidaying in cornwall or if you live locally, just treat yourself to something special. You will definitely want to do it again, as will I and Amber next year!
Thanks Ruth for a great time!
Love Jill & Amber xx
Always like to try something new and I have always loved looking at fused glass items when I have been to craft shops/stalls
Went with a friend to the workshop in Sunningdale. Dominique was great. Lots of help, especially when I was stuck just trying to decide where to start.
Plenty of different techniques to try although I stuck with just one to create my picture. I would definitely go again to try something different
Ruth is a really experienced and skilful teacher, who adapted to each individual workshop attendees needs. I learnt much more than I was expecting and had a really enjoyable day. Some in our group had some prevous experience but I didn't. So I was really pleased that the day enabled me to produce a piece at the end that I love, and has left me wanting to go back and do some more!
