Laura pinkney reviewed: Blow a bauble at Chew Valley handmade glass

"I bought this experience as a 40th birthday gift for my friend and it was amazing! We both enjoyed it so much that we are both booking this for our families. Our teacher was so patient with us both. He explained the process first and then talked us through each stage as we went. Blowing glass is something neither of us have done before but we found it so relaxing and we both want to come back and do it again next year. "

"Thank you so much Laura for your review, Chris is always very pleased to hear that you enjoyed your time with him. We would be more than happy to see you back in the future. Kind regards The team at chew valley handmade glass "

Elise reviewed: Blow a bauble at Chew Valley handmade glass

"Excellent experience suitable for complete beginners, really good explanation of techniques used through the session and hands-on guidance throughout. Steve was happy to answer all of our (sometimes stupid) questions but also gave us the space to complete the steps ourselves, all in all making it really feel like we have created the bauble instead of watching someone else make it and just decorating at the end. Overall an excellent experience, not too time-heavy or costly and left these 2 beginners feeling quite accomplished with our first glass makes!"

Chew Valley HandMade Glass responded:

"Thank you so much Elise for your kind review, we are so pleased you both enjoyed your experience with us. Regards The team at chew valley handmade glass "

Bernie Heland reviewed: Glass blowing course - taster

"Today I completed my second course with Chris. I cannot recommend him highly enough. My first course was the glass blowing course, I wanted to make some Christmas presents for friends and family, and learn a fantastic craft. I can honestly say with Chris's very patient style, I achieved some truly lovely pieces and was delighted to be able to gift some truly personal presents. My second course with Chris was a masterclass in how to make some truly unique pieces of glass jewellery, I LOVED THEM ALL!! So much so I am going to find it hard to part with any of them!! If you want to do something that will give you a sense of enjoyment and a craftsmanship experience, you can do no better than take a class with Chris! I shall definitely be doing more classes at Chew valley Glass after Christmas."

Chew Valley HandMade Glass responded:

"Thank you so much Bernie for your kind review, Chris will be delighted you enjoyed your time with him as much as you have. We are so glad you've made some amazing pieces to be proud of. Kind regards Chris and the team at chew valley handmade glass "

Holly reviewed: Glass blowing course - taster

"I can't recommend this experience enough, I was lucky to be the only one on the course, we made so many items, and instruction was super knowledgable, he was always happy to answer any and all of my questions, and really helped me get the most out my first ever glass blowing experience. I came away having 'thumbed in' for the first time ever, and a few other things that I never would have imagined I'd do! I'm super chuffed with the day and what I had at the end of it. The best gift I've ever had."
