"Had a fabulous day today. Ricky is very patient and knowledgeable. He explained every process clearly and is an excellent teacher. I had not experienced glassblowing before and was amazed at how the glass behaves and can be worked into wonderful shapes and colours. Looking forward to receiving the finished pieces I made. Highly recommend."

"Unbelievable experience... We attended the beginners class and we were given a health and safety talk before we jumped into the fun part. As the day progressed Ricky gave us a choice on what we could produce next. We created four different pieces each, using a variety of methods. Ultimately this gave us a wide range of things to take away that we now display proudly in our home. The day was fantastic, Ricky was brilliant at explaining everything but also allowing us to really get stuck in and involved. A very knowledgable and great teacher, Ricky made us both feel very comfortable. We would definitely recommend this to anyone who has an interest in glass blowing because its well worth the money and a great experience!"

"We asked to create some Christmas baubles and that's exactly what Ricky helped us to create: 9 beautiful Christmas baubles. He listened to what we wanted and took us patiently through the stages, entirely at our own pace. After a quick safety briefing we were blowing our first bauble, since there are only two people in the class, you are always doing something, whether as support for your partner or working with the glass yourself. As complete beginners, we really didn't expect to be able to produce so many such beautiful pieces. Ricky was very good at suggesting ways to achieve the effects we were after. He helped us rescue an overblown bauble and turn it into one that was even more beautiful. The day went very quickly, broken by lunch in the lovely walled garden; he was very easy to chat to over lunch. I would throughly recommend this course to anyone who wants to create something beautiful from glass."

"This is the most amazing course I have ever been on. Ricky is an excellent teacher who enables you to feel confident with the material and realise its potential. You achieve so much in one day, producing 4 glass works. The course went well beyond my expectations and I will defiantly be going back to do more. Also, great value for money - I can't recommend it enough to anyone who wants to have a go at glassblowing...."

"I had a great day on this course. Ricky was a really good teacher, calm and with just the right balance of encouragement and support. The day was an excellent introduction for people who might want to take this further, but also allowed for a really creative and impressive "one off" day out. The pieces we made are lovely. I would absolutely recommend this course!"

"I had an amazing memorable day Ricky is a fantastic teacher and really cares that the blown glass is as good as it can be. The classes are small so that us students have Ricky's almost full attention the whole time. Ricky's workshop is set in a beautiful garden, perfect to stop for a lunch break in between making your pieces. Your guaranteed to come away with some beautiful pieces of glassware xx"

"I've just been to pick up the pieces I made on a one day workshop with Ricky and am so pleased with them! The course was brilliant, a really interesting hands on day and I came away feeling like I'd really achieved something. Now seeing the finished pieces after a break of a couple of weeks, I can't believe how good they look! I would absolutely recommend Ricky's workshop to anyone."

"An excellent day! Ricky was very knowledgeable and patient, taking us through each step with excellent advice and timing. To come away with the items I did (which I could have bought in a shop) with the knowledge that I had made them will give me a lot of pleasure in the future, as well as having a very enjoyable day.5"

"I would like to thank Ricky Keech at Creative Vibe Glass Blowing Course in Bedfordshire for a totally interesting and FUN day. I would absolutely recommend his course. I am a complete novice, but Ricky explained every step in a manner that I could understand. I was 1 of a group of 2 and we helped each other to create 4 different pieces with the sure guidance of Ricky. Fascinating material !!"

"A fantastic way to spend the day. Ricky is an excellent teacher, very clear and helpful. The day is very hands on and great fun. There were two of us on the course and we were involved the whole day supporting each other in the creation of our pieces. We got to make a sculptural piece, paperweight and final piece of our choice. I would recommend this to anyone who wants to have a go at glassblowing."

"We were able to try so many different skills to create some amazing pieces. Ricky is an excellent teacher which is an unusual skill in itself. I'm not at all artistic, but he was able to guide my choices so my creations are really something worthwhile. The course is a full day and very, very productive. Would love to have another go."

"A fabulous day glass blowing, Ricky teaches you in a very clear manner and is very calm which is handy when you are wielding a long pole with molten glass on the end! I made 4 pieces which I am very pleased with, I think next time I will use more colour as the effect I got is quite subtle and I want the next ones to be more vivid. I received my glass this morning and it was all very well packed and very exciting to see in real life. I will definitely be booking another course."

"I was given the voucher as a present off my better half i looked on here to see what course i would like to do and after reading all the good comments left by other people i thought glass blowing that's the one. True to everyone's comments Ricky is one excellent teacher very good in the way he teaches you how to do it. If only i had teachers like him when i was at school i may have gone a bit more. On a serious note if you are thinking of doing glass blowing this is the course to do so. I will be back."

"Excellent course! Ricky was very welcoming and a great teacher. We made 5 pieces each and were amazed at our progress. We both learnt a lot and are aiming to go back - just need a bigger display cabinet!! Thoroughly recommended!"

"What a fantastic day! Ricky is a really inspiring tutor and before I knew it I found myself practicing a skill I had only admired others doing before. The pace of the course is just right and by the end of the day I was so pleased to have made 4 pieces that I could keep as mementos of a very special day. Ricky kept things simple to start off with but soon had us blowing glass objects, adding pigments and learning how to use a whole range of tools and techniques. I can't wait to have another go!"

"I bought a Sunday course for my husband and me as his Christmas gift. We had a really good day. Ricky is a patient and likeable teacher who took us through the craft of glass making from creating a nugget of blown glass, through three other pieces of increasing complexity. The day was good value for money and an experience we will always remember. Highly recommended!"

"I did the beginners glass blowing with Ricky on the 14 Dec 2016. I felt that the course was great value for money, as there were only two students and so we each got a lot of personal attention from Ricky. He is a great teacher, very patient and explains things very clearly. I look forward to receiving my completed pieces in the mail and I hope to be able to go back and do some more with Ricky in the future. Highly recommended!"

"I booked the one day course for beginners for my partners birthday. He has always wanted to try glass blowing so he was very excited and this course didn't disappoint. We arrived slightly early to a very welcoming and friendly Ricky. Throughout the day Ricky was very patient and demonstrated his passion for others to succeed in the art of glass blowing. We managed to create 5 beautiful pieces each and would without a doubt recommend this course to anyone wanting to try the art for themselves. We will definitely be back to compete the follow up course as we had such a good day. Thank you Ricky! Craig & Ellie x"

"This was a great course. Ricky makes you feel really comfortable and ensures that you are involved at all times. Considering it was the first time I have tried glass blowing, I cannot believe we produced the things we did including a sculptural piece and a vase. Having quality photos sent to you of both your work and you producing it is a nice touch. Great value for a full six hours which flew by, a memorable day and one I would recommend to anybody."
