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!! "

Dawn Turner Designs responded:

"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 "

Rachael reviewed: Pick & Mix Glass Fusing Taster Sessions

"My daughter participated in this course and thoroughly enjoyed it. Dawn was knowledgeable and passionate, explaining everything clearly. The items you make are high end and something you will absolutely want to display. My daughter is Autistic and struggles to speak when uncomfortable, but Dawn's warmth enabled her to engage fully. Highly recommended. "

Dawn Turner Designs responded:

"Thank you for this review. It means such a lot to me, that your daughter felt comfortable at the studio, with both myself and the other participants. I loved what she made, and hope she's pleased with the results - look forward to seeing you again soon x"

"Absolutely loved Dawn’s pick and mix glass fusion taster which had lots of choice. Went with a friend and had such a great time.

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

"We received a warm welcome from Dawn who is an easy person to get on with. She is accommodating where possible and has numerous samples and ideas for those of us attending but not knowing what to expect. I am not particularly arty but was able to produce somethings that will hopefully look good once it has been fired. My wife and adult daughter also enjoyed our day and we hope to attend once again to try something else now we are more aware of what is achievable. "

Dawn Turner Designs responded:

"Hi Dave, it was a pleasure to welcome you and your lovely family to the studio, I had a thoroughly enjoyable and amusing day (despite the heat!) I can't wait to see all of your creations when they're fired, and thank you all for embracing the unknown! Dawn "

Denise reviewed: Pick & Mix Glass Fusing Taster Sessions

"Attended a taster glass fusion course with my 9 year old granddaughter. Dawn was extremely knowledgeable and whilst she gave us lots of ideas and tips she also let us use our own imagination and creativity. Absolutely loved the session and would highly recommend."

"So glad you loved the session; you and your grand-daughter were a delight to welcome to the studio, lots of creativity! I love to see what children do. Work is in for its first firing, I am looking forward to seeing all the work finished. "

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

"Had a great day. Learnt some new ideas. Dawn is very friendly and knowledgeable. Teaches in an easy to understand way. Would recommend."

Dawn Turner Designs responded:

"Aw, thank you so much Stephen, that's very lovely of you to say. As my classes are usually aimed at total beginners with no experience, it's always slightly unnerving when someone comes to the studio who has already done glass fusing to some degree - so I am extra pleased that you still felt that you learned something, and I've got a tip from you too, I'll be getting me some paint-brushes! "

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

"Never done glass fusing before so I didn't know what to expect. Dawn explained everything step by step. Great to create several different glass items using ideas from Dawn's work and from my own imagination. I would highly recommend this workshop to anyone who wants to learn something new."

Dawn Turner Designs responded:

"Thank you Sally, so pleased you enjoyed your day - thank you for embracing the whole process and being willing to give something new a go. I can't wait to see your finished pieces, loved your ideas (I might have to borrow that cat paperweight, lol)"
