"This course was brilliant, I had a very enjoyable few hours with Gen. She shared lots of useful information about all the different types of glass and techniques we could use, and was very happy answering questions as we went along, as well as providing encouragement and suggestions. I would very much recommend this class to anyone, and I’m excited to see the finished lantern!"

"Genevieve was enthusiastic & clear in her instructions showing us all the types of glass we were to use and the effects they would create. A really interesting tutor to talk to . She was passionate about her craft and also Halifax in general. It would have been good to see a few more examples before we started. My friend and I thoroughly enjoyed the experience and are looking forward to picking up our finished items after they have been fired."

"A fabulous all day session with Gen making fused glass.. expert teaching and very generous sharing of skills and knowledge. Gen is very encouraging with a lot of ideas to try and I particularly liked and appreciated the encouragement to try new and challenging skills. Gen provided a delicious lunch and I couldn’t believe how much I and my friend made in one day .. the course was extremely good value, good fun and packed with expertly taught material.. I’m so excited to see my creations and very keen to return in the future to learn more with Gen ..loved it Thankyou Gen !"

"I had a most enjoyable morning on Thursday, learning so much and creating 4 panels for a lovely lantern in Gen's fused glass class. The atmosphere was congenial, knowledgeable, fun and learning a new skill as a beginner was great. Thanks for the experience and I'm looking forward to seeing the finished result! E Joy Taylor"

"Had a wonderful morning with Genevieve yesterday making panels for a lantern. Her workshop is in the huge basement of her house, and was easy to find. It was very well organised and Genevieve is very professional, knowledgeable and professional - I ran a bit over time but this wasnt an issue. Im looking forward to going to collect my fired pieces in a week or so. Would highly recommend."

"What a lovely morning spent with likeminded people taking part in the fused glass taster workshop! We can't wait to see our pieces once they've been in the kiln. It definitely made me want to pursue this craft. I would recommend it to anyone!"

Wicked Gen Crafts responded:

"I had a great morning with you all and loved seeing you all take the same student suggested theme to create your own individual unique flower meadows. I hope you will all be really pleased with the finished results."

"My second time on this glass course.Very enjoyable time working along side friends who were there for the first time. Gen gives her time generously to explain and show how to make pieces of glass artwork to be proud to take home. A fun taster to working with glass."

Stella Taylor reviewed: Fused glass taster (afternoon)

"I was invited on this taster course by a friend. I have always loved glass art in every form, but had no knowledge of how any of it was achieved. Gen gave us a really good introduction of the different products used in glass fusion. Then a short demonstration and practice using some tools. Then on with the creating our 3 glass pieces. Gen was very encouraging and helpful, while we all got absorbed in growing our colours and shapes on our glass. Lots of fun and amazement at what we had achieved!! Can't wait to see my finished pieces after they have been fused in the kiln. A great way to get creative! Craft courses do vouchers, so can treat a friend!"

"Arranged a special day of glass fusing with Gen so a friend could join in whilst she was up in Yorkshire. I made some glass hangers for my garden this time as I think they'll look good reflecting light near my bird feeders. It was a very 'full on' session and everyone was kept busy the whole time making different things. Great way to spend a memorable day with friends."

"I had my first go at fused glass and it was thoroughly enjoyable I can't believe how much we did in a relatively short time but there was no sense of rush or being hurried along. I really enjoyed choosing different colours and textures and can't wait to see the final results. Gen was excellent, very knowledgeable and encouraging.I would highly recommend this course and a great way to spend some time with a group of friends."

"Fantastic morning .I am not particularly arty but have really enjoyed having fun making 3 pieces of glass artwork.It was amazing what I achieved with a bit of help. I can,t imagine how anyone would not enjoy themselves and have already told friends about it."

"I shall be on my 3rd visit to one of gen's classes next week, taking friends and family on each occasion. It is a very good and creative experience, gen is an excellent teacher, she explains what can be done with all the different materials in a very relaxed manner, so you can really enjoy what you are doing.And the end results i've found to be really exciting. I would definitely recommend trying one of gen's classes, and they make excellent presents too."

"I tried it and fell in love with glass even more than I did before. It's an excellent in expensive chance to have a play with glass and produce 3 amazing pieces. Genevieve is a great teacher, encouraging and patient with everyone. Made you feel at home with tea and biscuits but safety as the forethought. I expected a formal classroom setting all clean cut but was pleasantly surprised when invited in to find it is her very own workshop in a rustic setting with her beautiful art in varying stages showing just watch can be achieved if you wanted to take it further. Which I did by going onto the 2 day course to further my knowledge. I have just bought the introduction course as a birthday treat for my mum who I am certain will also love it. Can't wait to go back for more!"

"Following my experience of the Introduction to Glass Fusting Taster session I haven't looked back. Totally hooked! You make three pieces in two hours - all of which you can take home with you after fusing in the kiln (so usually a week or two later). Gen is so patient with students of all levels and shares her extensive knowledge for those of you who are interested. Try it and you too will be hooked..."
