Ashley Harvie reviewed: Glass blowing course - taster

"Steve and Angie are WONDERFUL teachers! We had an absolutely brilliant few hours making beautiful objects that seemed totally unattainable when we watched Steve’s initial demo, but through their attentive guidance we had a wonderful (and totally safe!) time manipulating the glass into our own unique creations. I cannot rate these guys highly enough! We made 4 beautiful objects each - helped by two lovely people. We’ll be back for sure - whiskey glasses next time please! "

Chew Valley HandMade Glass responded:

"Thank you so much for your kind review Ashley, we had a great time working with you and David. So glad you enjoyed your time with us, hopefully we can help you make those whiskey glasses in the future. Regards Steve and Angie "

Jennie reviewed: Glass blowing course - taster

"What a fantastic day, a course I highly recommend. Glass blowing is something my friend and I have been on about for about a decade, I'm so glad we have finally done it. Steve and Angie are highly skilled, friendly and very patient teachers, who made this an exceptional experience. I definitely feel like I have achieved something special. I had a 'smashing' first go losing my first vase to an over enthusiastic tap, but achieved it 2nd time round. Overall I made some lovely pieces I will treasure, and finished off with a rather wonky swan. A really great course thanks for having us 😀 "

Chew Valley HandMade Glass responded:

"Thank you for taking the time to leave a review Jennie, it was a pleasure to meet you both. You were both very easy to teach as you picked it up very quickly. So pleased you enjoyed your time with us. Regards Steve and Angie "

"Fantastic way to spend a Saturday morning. It was great to have a try at something that was made to look so easy.

Susan Pearce reviewed: Blow a bauble at Chew Valley handmade glass

"A lovely time with my adult daughter. Chris was very informative and went through every stage of the process and the reason behind it. He had some lovely hand created articles in his workshop. We would have liked the area to have been a bit more festive. It would have been good to have the opportunity to make a second bauble whilst there as the first one is just grasping the concept and another would give me the opportunity to practice what I have just been taught!!!

"I did this course with my partner, and we had a brilliant time. Chris was a brilliant instructor who gave a helping hand, explained things incredibly well, and very willing to answer additional questions about himself and the process.. Also very accomodating, and let us being our own little bits up to put in the baubles. Very much recommended as a day out and a Christmas activity :) "
