Went to this workshop not knowing what to expect, and found it to be a most enjoyable day. Ruth, our teacher for the day, was very good explained everything we needed to know and was very helpful. I would recommend the course to others. I will definitely be coming back again
My daughter and I attended the workshop at Easter and really enjoyed it. Ruth was an excellent teacher who explained all the basics and techniques, then in the afternoon we made our own creations. We’ve now collected our glass work and it looks amazing , we are really pleased. And look forward to coming back to do it all again! Thanks again Ruth!
Had a lovely day with Ruth. Was the only one on the course that day so had one to one tuition which was great. All aspects of the glass and how to use it was explained in the morning and the afternoon was for being creative. The hard thing for me was deciding what to make. Ruth and the staff were all very friendly.
Unfortunately I can't upload my beautiful Octopus
A complete starter to glass fusing, the workshop was jam packed full of information, techniques and tips, melded with the opportunity to try for myself! Add to that a helpful, supportive and friendly teacher and it was a wonderful day! Thank you!
Attended a workshop with my mum and had a great time. Ruth was a really amazing teacher, informative and helpful. Enjoyed seeing the workshop and the kilns and great explanation of all the processes. Thanks Ruth, second time I’ve been and will be back 😊
