Ezzy Pearson reviewed: Glass blowing course - taster

"Loved this course. The instructors were both lovely and did a great job of guiding me through the course. We ended up creating a lovely collection of objects that I will treasure as I made them with my own (very guided) hands. Plus, the studio is in a lovely location, and you can grab some treats in the farm shop or cafe afterwards!"

Claire reviewed: Blow a bauble at Chew Valley handmade glass

"What a wonderful day. We were warmly welcomed by Steve and Angie and talked through the procedure . There are lots of examples to get ideas of what you might like to copy. ( although every piece is individual) we had booked to make Balls. Steve calmly explains again and off we go! Choosing our colours, first colour seems to colour the glass second decorates. Steve talks us through the process but lets go of the controls ( so to speak) but is right there to calmly take over at any moment. I now need to wait a couple of days for my ball to cool, then they will post it to me next day delivery. Which is included in the price. I am so excited. You can see his love of making things with glass , and sharing his passion with others is his raison d'être. Thank you so much for making our experience such a wonderful day to remember. We booked a table for lunch afterwards at the tea shop across the courtyard which was delicious and they cater for food intolerances. Well done New Manor Farm . You have a gem!"

"Thank you so much for your lovely review Claire, so pleased you enjoyed your time with us. It was a pleasure to meet you all, your baubles should arrive with you today. Regards Steve and Angie "

"Excellent course, Steve and Angie struck the perfect balance between teaching technique and supporting with difficult bits, they have the session down to a fine art. Very enjoyable, great location and great price."
