"My sister and I really enjoyed Julia’s glass bead making course. The setting is brilliant - very intimate, Julia was a great teacher - sharing her knowledge and leaving us to experiment. We were amazed how many beads we managed to make and can’t wait to get the finished articles next week. We’ll be back again for another go for sure!"

"I would highly recommend this course. My mother and I had a fantastic time and were really pleased with our beads! Julia is a great tutor. She was excellent at demonstrating and really helpful in answering all our questions. She was also happy for us to play around with the glass beads to see what wonderful and unique creations we could make. 10/10."

"I have now done two bead making courses with Julia and have had a fantastic time on both occasions. Julia is a really good tutor; she explains and demonstrates techniques clearly and is on hand watching how things are going and gives good advice if needed. She is very encouraging and attentive. I felt I really developed some new skills under her guidance. You get going actually making beads surprisingly quickly and both times I have ended up with some beautiful work. The work is really engrossing and there is always more to learn!"

"Fantastic course! I am a complete beginner and wanted to learn the new skill of glass bead making. Found Julia's course through this website and I couldn't have made a better choice. She is excellent at explaining how to make a bead and use different techniques to personalise and decorate them. I was on making a bead within 15 minutes of entering the room and felt very supported, guided and directed throughout the session. I was really pleased with the beads I made and gave the first one to my Mom on a lovely sliver chain for her 94th birthday present. I left the day feeling like I wanted to learn and practice more. I have since done a second day with Julia and made myself some lovely earrings. I can't recommend Julia enough as an competent and encouraging instructor and the course as a great way to learn a new art or refine your existing skill."

"A thoroughly enjoyable activity, very peaceful and highly recommended. Julia gives expert demos then gently guides you through as you make your own beads. I was very impressed how much was achieved and love wearing the beads on a bar brooch."

"Where do I even start? I had an absolutely amazing afternoon with Julia. The time whizzed by and I'm really excited to see the final product (I only did it yesterday. They should be in the kiln as we speak!). I'm definitely going to find the time to go back so that should be enough to tell you to book on yourself!"
