Rachel reviewed: Glass fusing workshop - half day

"We did the 1/2 day course and had a lovely relaxing time. You do not have to be artistic to produce some lovely pieces. Also was really nice that you could choose what you wanted to make and what techniques you wanted to use. Would definitely recommend this course to a friend 😁"

Fired Glass responded:

"Thank you Rachel for your kind words and we are pleased to hear you enjoyed your time with us and our approach to running our workshops. Kind regards John and Jill"

Daxa Riley reviewed: Glass fusing workshop - 1 day

"I was really apprehensive about what I would produce in a single day but with Jill's help I was able to produce four beautiful pieces of glass. She gave support and confidence when I needed it. Both John and Jill welcomed me into their beautiful house and made me feel at ease. Lovely lunch and plenty to drink. I would highly recommend this course to anyone with even a passing interest in glass making."

Fired Glass responded:

"Thank you Daxa for your glowing review. We are pleased to hear you enjoyed your time with us, we're glad we made you feel welcome and you got to make some great pieces. "

Karen reviewed: Glass fusing workshop - 1 day

"Had a fantastic day, learnt so much. Jill is very knowledgeable and an excellent teacher. The art room is so well stocked it's like a glass sweet shop, so many options. Lunch and snacks were delicious and filling. Jill was very generous advising on other mediums that she also teaches. Truly enjoyable, definitely will be back."

Fired Glass responded:

"Thank you Karen, we do like your sweet shop analogy that sums up the studio perfectly. So glad to hear you enjoyed your session with us. We would love to see you again. Regards John and Jill"

Anita Justice reviewed: Glass fusing workshop - 1 day

"We had fantastic full day with Jill. Plenty of time for tuition and making a number of pieces. It's best to go with some idea of what you'd like to make and to contact Jill beforehand so she can set up accordingly. Though if you have no idea that works too, it just means you'll spend a bit less time making. "

Fired Glass responded:

"Thanks Anita, pleased to hear you and Kim enjoyed your time with us. First time sessions are always tricky as most people don't know what to make or what is possible. If you decide to return then it is so much easier second time around. Jill has started to fire your pieces already, some went in the kiln today! Very exciting. Kind regards John and Jill "

"This was the most amazing course. Jill and John welcomed me into their home and craft studio. I felt relaxed and at ease to create some fantastic pieces. Jill's expertise was amazing and we chatted all day whilst working on my projects. The icing on the cake was John's baking, both muffins and lunch. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this course and I will definitely be going back again to do more. "

Tina Walpole reviewed: Glass fusing workshop - 1 day

"I have always loved glass pictures and items so I thought I would give this a go. A complete novice but that doesn't matter. Jill was a fabulous teacher and John and Jill were both fantastic hosts. A very warm welcome with drinks and cake as soon as we arrived and a lovely home made lunch as we were there all day. There is no limit on what you can make - the only constraint is the time. I decided to make a large 'wave' piece of a beach scene with some different powders for colour and with Jill's help, it looks amazing. She is an amazing artist and her guidance can turn any novice into a budding Picasso!! This took some time as my first piece but there was still time in the afternoon to make a pair of tea light holders. The friend I was with made a similar wave piece but with less colour and so this took less time and she also made a couple of pendants along with tea light holders. To buy anything like this in a shop would cost more than we paid for the course and we have the added bonus that we made the items ourselves. And if there is anything specific you want to make or give as a gift then this is brilliant. We are definitely going back again and now we have a basic knowledge we can make even more in the time. I would advise anyone to have a look at their website and have an idea of what you would like to make before you go otherwise you will waste time deciding. Having said that, Jill will always give you some ideas and improve on what you have suggested. So in summary - brilliant hosts and facilities. Can't fault it."

Fired Glass responded:

"Thank you for your glowing review Tina, this makes us very happy. We are delighted you both enjoyed your time with us and that you were pleased with what you made on the day. This is our aim. "
