"Absolutely fantastic. My son did a school workshop with Dawn and was so inspired we looked to book a course for him and it so happened to be with the same person. He has Autism and Dawn fully accommodated for his needs and he's produced some beautiful work. We will definitely be back as I think she's inspired a new hobby in him. "

Bridget Litchfield reviewed: Glass Artist's Studio Experience Day - Fusing (Open)

"Dawn explained everything about working with glass so we understood many of the techniques she uses in her work. She shared lots of her ideas and previous art pieces which inspired us all. Dawn had so many art and glass resources to work with and gave us lots of ideas to help us create our own pieces. Dawn was very patient, helpful and nothing was too much trouble when helping us to create our own glass pieces. I thoroughly enjoyed the day - thank you Dawn. I hope to return again in the future 😃x"

"Thank you for your kind review, it was a lovely session, and you'd be welcome back any time. I can't wait to see what everybody's work comes out like, you all had such different ideas x"

Vickie reviewed: Pick & Mix Glass Fusing Taster Sessions

"Absolutely perfect course. Dawn is very warm-hearted & friendly, highly inspirational and very encouraging. I’d never done glass fusion at all and ended the course feeling knowledgeable about this beautiful art form. Very jolly atmosphere with others doing this too. For those of us in bill-paying, often grey & grim corporate jobs, with little outlet for expression or colour, this is highly recommended. It (really) lifts your heart and soul! I’ll be back! 🤗"

Dawn Turner Designs responded:

"Thank you for your lovely review Vickie, it lifts my spirits to know that it made you so happy! I am so pleased that the group got on well, it makes all the difference I can’t wait to see what you all made, everybody created beautiful pieces"

Yvonne reviewed: Glass Artist's Studio Experience Day - Fusing (Open)

"This course was a small and personal course of only four students which allowed a lot of time for each of us to have interaction time with Dawn and our co-students. A great day to learn about and experience handling glass, glass cutting and producing a number of pieces using different methods. It was very enjoyable and relaxing. It was an experience to be repeated. "

Dawn Turner Designs responded:

"Ah. Thank you so much, it was a pleasure to welcome you to the studio and it was very enjoyable to share my knowledge with you. Welcome back, any time for more glass fun! Dawn "

Jan Dingley reviewed: Glass Artist's Studio Experience Day - Fusing (Open)

"I spent an amazing day with Dawn at her workshop. Her introductory talk about glass reflected her extensive knowledge and set the scene for the practical activities. Before and after lunch we were able to cut, prepare, design and assemble various glass articles. Dawn was always available to answer questions and give advice. A thoroughly enjoyable day -- now need to see how it comes out of the kiln!! "

"Thank you Jan, so glad you enjoyed the day - work is already in for it’s first firing, and I can’t wait to see what you all made! Dawn x "

Highly recommended. "
