Margaret Walton reviewed: Fused glass lanterns Large )

"This was my first adventure with fused glass! Diane was great. Very helpful and on hand to answer any questions. She explained the process and the different kinds of glass to help get me started. I created 4 glass panels for a lantern. I was really pleased with my endeavours! There was lots of colours and options to choose from for the creations. I left them with Diane to put through the kiln process, and I will return to pick them up in a few days. It was a very enjoyable few hours of creativity spent in the company of other crafters and in a lovely creative space. Thank you Crafty Diane. "

Irene Bennett reviewed: Fused glass Xmas trees

"I've done the fused glass Christmas decorations for the last few years. They look beautiful on the Christmas tree, hanging on the windows or on a white twig tree with fairy lights. It's not difficult to do, it allows you to be creative, and to colour coordinate with your personal theme. It's very satisfying to design and create your own little treasure. Loved doing it. "

Crafty Diane Gift Shop, Art Gallery and Craft workshops responded:

"Thanks Irene much for such a lovely review. You have become very skilled over the years and produced some stunning pieces for your home :) "

Janet Tai reviewed: Fused glass art for the garden

"Had a wonderful day with Diane in the Fused Glass workshop. Diane is easy going and offers plenty of encouragement and ideas. I was delighted with the artwork that I made for the garden. You don’t need to be arty to produce something original and eye catching. It’s a wonderful place to come with friends to chat and craft. Would like to come back and make some Christmas gifts. There’s a great cafe on the site and Diane’s shop is full of original art work and gifts. Thanks Diane"

Crafty Diane Gift Shop, Art Gallery and Craft workshops responded:

"Thanks Janet. You did really well and you are “arty” ;) Look forward to seeing you for a Christmas workshop x"

"My nephew and I had a great time on this course. The instructions were clear and support was always on hand. The hosts were very hospitable and Diane was very knowledgeable about all kinds of glass art. We were complete beginners to fused glass, but we both produced a lantern to be proud of. Thank you to Crafty Diane!"
