Irene reviewed: Fused Glass Lantern (medium)

"Lovely relaxed session with ample resources and choice. Diane gave a quick intro, showed some inspirational pieces and then let us create. She was on hand if we needed help but not intrusive."

Crafty Diane Gift Shop, Art Gallery and Craft workshops responded:

"Hi Irene, So glad you enjoyed your lantern making. Your pieces will also be inspirational once they are fused and back with you :) Hope you visit us again. Diane x"

"I loved this fused glass course. Diane allowed me to experiment with my own ideas and gave me plenty of advice, help and support along the way. In the end I produced a fused glass plaque which I am incredibly proud of and I have had loads of compliments from friends and relatives. I highly recommend this course."

Christine Steele reviewed: Dichroic glass pendant and earrings

"What a great experience. Diane made us very welcome, and at ease as we had never done anything like this before. We were shown examples that we could take inspiration from, practicing on small pieces of plain glass before we used coloured. As the pieces have to be fired we won't see the results for a few days, when I will return to pick up the finished articles. I bought this experience for my friend and myself she was thrilled."

Crafty Diane Gift Shop, Art Gallery and Craft workshops responded:

"Thanks for the lovely review. I am so glad you both enjoyed yourselves and your pieces are fired but not made into finished pieces yet. X"

Amy reviewed: Fused Glass Easter Eggs

"What an excellent course! With a wide range of materials, beautiful examples for inspiration and expert advice from Diane, we were able to create our own stunning floral Easter eggs which we can keep up all year round. I bought this course as a gift for my mum for Christmas and we had a fabulous two hours of crafting which just flew by! Diane was generous with time and offered that we could stay as long as needed to complete our pieces. Quality time spent with mum and a lovely opportunity to meet Diane and Andy who helped guide us. Hosted by very friendly and welcoming people who just loved to share their passion for arts and crafts. With a wide range of gorgeous pieces to buy from the store, we didn't leave empty handed either as the bird boxes and glass pieces were too lovely to leave behind and great value for money. Thank you for a fabulous day- I can't wait to collect the finished pieces once they've finished fusing in the kiln! We'll definitely be coming back for more courses- glass or other otherwise! "

Crafty Diane Gift Shop, Art Gallery and Craft workshops responded:

"Thanks Amy for the stunning review. Your eggs cooked beautifully last night and will be ready to collect from Thursday. Let me know when you are calling if you can. We both enjoyed meeting yourself and your mum and look forward to seeing you again soon. X"

Margaret Walton reviewed: Fused glass lanterns Large )

"This was my first adventure with fused glass! Diane was great. Very helpful and on hand to answer any questions. She explained the process and the different kinds of glass to help get me started. I created 4 glass panels for a lantern. I was really pleased with my endeavours! There was lots of colours and options to choose from for the creations. I left them with Diane to put through the kiln process, and I will return to pick them up in a few days. It was a very enjoyable few hours of creativity spent in the company of other crafters and in a lovely creative space. Thank you Crafty Diane. "

Crafty Diane Gift Shop, Art Gallery and Craft workshops responded:

"Hi Margaret , Thank you so much for the lovely review. So glad you like my place too. Your lantern is all fired and ready to collect when you can get here. Crafty Diane x "
