Really loved the day. Something I've wanted to do for a while. Ruth is amazing, learnt so much. She is so patient and makes time for everyone in the class. So pleased with my pieces..I've booked again 😁
Had a fabulous day at this workshop. Friendly, welcoming staff that catered for all levels of experience. I was a very raw beginner. So pleased with my efforts. I will return !😊
I am a glass fuser at home but still learnt a lot from the session. The range of techniques covered and products you can make are fantastic. Ruth was a great tutor, encouraging and enabling all present to achieve great results. I absolutely love my piece of glass.
Spent a day on the course at Launceston and had a fantastic time. Ruth was brilliant, attentive and was an excellent teacher! Who knew there would be so much to learn …..!
Thoroughly enjoyed creating my own piece and was amazed when I later collected the finished item - was expecting something to put in the back of the cupboard and so was amazed when I picked up a really lovely piece which will take pride of place on the wall. Would definitely go again and couldn’t recommend enough.
I did a course a few weeks ago and made a dish that I could use. It arrived in the post today and I can’t quite believe that I made it!! I am so pleased. The inspiration picture is shown below, together with the dish prior to the kiln process. The final three photos show the finished product 😍 Thanks for teaching a great session - Ruth and for ensuring it arrived safely, once complete, Tay xxx I had such a lovely day xxx
