    Fun and enjoyable day

    It was a really fun day and I learnt a lot. Ruth is a great teacher and very helpful in making your design come to life - I was very happy with the result.

    It is definitely worth having an idea of what you want to make beforehand, and even bring some pictures along for reference, although there is lots of reference material you can use if you don't.

    There are charts all around the room of how the glass looks before and after firing. Ruth kept referring to these and they are essential to use for guidance as the colours and shapes can change considerably in colour and texture. I found that extremely helpful.

    Highly recommended, would definitely do again.

    Great way to spend a day

    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.

    Excellent workshop

    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

    Really enjoyed it

    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
