"We spent a very enjoyable and fun day getting creative at the Fused Glass workshop. As complete novices, we found Wendy's demonstrations and explanations very clear and appreciated her feedback and knowledge-sharing in relation to our own creations which we are excited to be collecting soon, following firing in the kiln. A great course, in a wonderfully peaceful location."

Sue Cooke reviewed: Lantern Making with Fused Glass

"This was a lovely course. Wendy is very helpful & friendly and explains all use of materials, techniques & overall aims of the day. Safety was clearly explained. In the end I didn’t do more than one panel but I am delighted! I was able to express my own artistry and that takes time. I am thrilled with what I have learned and can’t wait to see finished piece of work!! PS Leave plenty of time to find the studio!!"
