I had an absolutely wonderful time at the glass fusing workshop at Jo Downs this December! It was such a special day, full of creativity and learning. Ruth was an incredible teacher—patient, talented, and so inspiring. She guided us through the entire process with ease, making sure we felt confident while experimenting with our designs. Highly recommend this workshop to anyone looking to try something new and creative—it's truly a memorable experience!
Thanks to Hubby I spent my birthday having fantastic time with Ruth and fellow class mates learning how to make something with glass I never thought I could do. Ruth's tuition was great and easy to follow even for someone like me who has never done this before. I'm really happy with my results and it was beautifully framed by Tay. thank you for such a lovely day, I will be back.
This is the 2nd workshop I have done in Launceston and am delighted with the results, Ruth is a wonderful teacher.
I would definitely recommend trying fused glass, regardless of your artistic ability.
The day had a very relaxed atmosphere, the instructions were very clear and easy to follow. Nothing was to much trouble for tutor. It was totally amazing the selection of items you were able to choose from to make. The item when ready for collection was beautifully packed. I would highly recommend the class for anyone not sure if they would like to try a workshop.
Lovely day spent with friends. Great tuition. Managed to find an artistic side that I didn't know existed. Would definitely do again.
