Catherine R reviewed: Fused glass Penguins workshop

"We had a wonderful two hours in Karen's treasure trove of a studio. We loved the freedom to create our own, slightly mad, penguins and the variety of materials available was great. It was a very relaxed two hours that flew by and my daughter fell in love with Berty the parrot too!!"

Lesley Breckenridge reviewed: Fused glass christmas wreaths

"Had a lovely afternoon at Redcurrant Glass making a fused glass Christmas Wreath. Karen was lovely, very kind and patient, she helped us throughout the process ensuring we would have a beautiful decoration to take home once it had been fired in the kiln. I also purchased an at home Christmas tree decoration kit that can be posted to Karen for firing in the kiln, and she will post back to me once complete. A great idea for a gift as she does an large assortment of at home kits, great for those who want to try Fused Glass work but cant necessarily get to an in person workshop. I would definitely recommend Karens workshops, and would go again. Thanks Karen x"

KL reviewed: Fused glass workshops for all

"We attended the glass infusion day course. Karen was welcoming and made you feel at ease straight away . She was very informative explaining about the glass used, different techniques, styles etc. During the day we were able to complete 3/4 different styles of glass items such as coasters, tea light holders. After we had completed a glass coaster, the choice was ours what we wanted to make, Karen was always at hand guiding and offering help and suggesting ideas. A sandwich and cake was provided for lunch and a choice of hot or cold drinks were offered during the day. The day was thoroughly enjoyable, and Karen was a great tutor. Looking forward to seeing our creations once they have been in the kiln. Thanks to Karen for a great day, would definitely recommend this course"

"An excellent day. Karen freely shares her knowledge and helps you get the most you can from this course. I came away with three pieces of work and you can see the improvement in technique in each piece thanks to Karen’s help and advice. Would highly recommend if you want to learn this technique."

"I thoroughly enjoyed this silver clay workshop. I have dabbled in silver clay before but wanted to see how it should actually be done! Karen was a great teacher and I even picked up some tricks of the trade. Her workshop is lovely and very well equipped. I would recommend this workshop highly. "

"I attended for a full day and managed to create 2x detailed pieces of work in this time. A brilliant day, learnt lots of new skills and techniques and hope to carry on creating fused glass in the future. Karen is a friendly and extremely helpful host."

Mrs Anne Alston reviewed: 5 week course- Stained Glass

"What an amazing course! I wanted to be able to create my own design using coloured glass and the incredible skills involved in stained glass making. I am astonished at how much I have learnt and extremely proud of the result. Karen is knowledgeable and very encouraging and provides you with all of the equipment you need. This is a beautiful craft and I am very enthusiastic to continue honing my new skills. "

Denise Hayton reviewed: Fused glass Christmas decorations- taster

"A friend and I attended a fused glass Christmas decorations taster course. Prior to the day, Karen sent useful information and answered questions promptly by email. On the day, she was welcoming and gave us plenty of clear instructions. The youngest attendee was 8years old and the oldest in their 60´s, but Karen was never condescending; she was keen that we should all produce pieces we were pleased with. She had lots of resources available and encouraged us with suggestions and was always positive. We made far more decorations than I expected and it was interesting to have the techniques and materials explained as we progressed. She is obviously very busy but will still find time, after firing them, to tie coordinating ribbons on thé decorations before they are ready for posting/collection - that really is going the extra mile! We finished the workshop with mince pies. It was a really good course and my friend and I are now considering one of the other courses on offer. "

Redcurrant Glass responded:

"Thank you "

Candie G reviewed: Fused glass workshops for all

"Had a wonderful time at this workshop with Karen. As a beginner I found she explained everything in simple terms and we were very soon ‘hands on’ making our own items. I was very impressed with the materials and equipment available for our use, so much different glass to choose from, all colours of frits and stringers and paints, and I learned how to use the grinder. I was delighted with the pieces I made - we made two smaller pieces in the morning and then we were free to make a larger piece in the afternoon of our choice - I can’t wait to see them finished after firing. I would happily do this workshop every weekend if I could, and have no hesitation in recommending Karen - excellent teacher and very friendly and hospitable. "
