"I do a lot of crafts but had never tried working with glass before, but had a clear idea of what I hoped to achieve. Julie, with her artistry, patience and knowledliege, helped me bring my vision to fruition. Julie's studio has an amazing range of materials and she painstakingly explained the properties of each one, helping me to select what best suited my project. The course is two hours, but Julie isn't a clock watcher, at no point did I feel hurried to complete the artwork or rushed out of the door - quite the opposite. Julie is an excellent teacher and a really lovely, welcoming lady. I am thrilled with what I was able to produce and fully intend to return for another class."

"We recently attended a glass fusion class with Julie which was a great experience. Julie has lots of knowledge and skills and was able to advise us how to get the best results from our fusions. We were very happy with the end results and had a very enjoyable time crafting our glass. We will definitely be doing some more classes with Julie."

"3hr AM Workshop 23/02/22 Julie was a wonderful hostess, really welcoming. Julie explained the process well, encouraged any questions as well as having lots of examples to hand to give you ideas (if like me you don’t have a vision of what you’d like to produce). I found the process of creating very therapeutic which was exactly what I was looking for, and Julie helped me produce 3 pieces that I’m really proud of! I thoroughly enjoyed the experience, and will absolutely be booking again - highly recommend!"

Julies Handcrafted Glass responded:

"Thank you Katy I had fun also ."

"4th January 2022- 3 hour workshop - Ann. I booked this workshop for my sister's birthday and we both had the most fantastic time making our own creations. Julie was fabulous in explaining the processes and helping us develop our ideas to produce two unique pieces that we both are so proud of. The actual process of making the glass design was so therapeutic and we were amazed by what we were able to create. Would highly recommend Julie's workshop, she was so friendly and welcoming. We had a really special experience in a very comfortable setting and will be booking for other workshops during this year."

"My sisters arranged the workshop for my birthday in April 2020 and for various reasons have only been able to do the workshop last week. Julie was fantastic and a great teacher. Guiding us on our chosen designs without imposing her own ideas. We all did something different and are over the moon with the results. Would have liked to have done the Xmas decorations workshops but no suitable dates available as nearly all taken. Thankyou Julie, it was a long wait but worth it, we had a lovely morning."

"I bought my friend and I a half day course with Julie for a morning in September, it was a grey miserable day out but we were welcomed and enjoyed our creative morning guided by Julie and were both really happy with our colourful glass waves. An all round great crafty experience ?"

"My daughter and I spent a lovely morning at Julie’s workshop. She was so friendly and helpful, and despite the necessary “Covid” measures, we felt relaxed and safe. We were delighted with our wave picture and coaster set, me especially as I am not ‘arty’ in the least. My picture is now in pride of place in my lounge. Thank you Julie xx"

Julies Handcrafted Glass responded:

"You say your not arty but that didn’t show your works is beautiful . Glad you had a good time. Thankyou ."

"I have recently visited Julie to do a half day workshop. It was very well organised and I felt very safe with the PPE Julie has in place. Julie had time to explain and show me how to create my glass wave I made. I am so pleased with the result. I will be going back to do Christmas decorations with family."

"My friend kindly treated me to a fused glass taster workshop for my birthday. We arrived uncertain about what to expect, but Julie was so welcoming and a great teacher. Her introduction was clear and informative, and under her expert tuition we created two wonderful glass pictures each, which we are both really proud of and which serve as a lovely reminder of a gorgeous day together. Thanks so much Julie!"

Emma Turner reviewed: Fused Glass - Taster

"My Mam and I recently attended a taster workshop with Julie - it was brilliant. Julie is just a wonderful teacher, providing guidance and instruction where needed & really encouraging you to get your crafty/arty side going! I really loved that the workshop was just my Mam and I as it was given as a gift, so it was lovely to have some quality time together. We both made coasters and with Julie's kind guidance, they have all turned out super well and we are really pleased with them. In terms of materials available, Julie has it all which really kick started our imaginations. Honestly cannot recommend Julie and her workshops more highly."

Jenny McLurg reviewed: Fused Glass Half Day

"This was a Christmas present from my daughter. I thoroughly enjoyed the course and Julie was really attentive and nothing was too much trouble. Julie has a vast stock of items to make whatever you would like. There are so many possibilities of creating a unique item for yourself or family. I made coasters, each one totally different by using the various glasses that were available and tools to create my designs. Highly recommended."

Julies Handcrafted Glass responded:

"Thank you Jenny was a pleasure meeting you and being able to help you create your coasters."

Julie’s enthusiasm and knowledge shine through. An all round excellent experience which I highly recommend."

"We were given gift vouchers last Christmas, which we used last month. We thoroughly enjoyed our afternoon workshop. Julie obviously has a great knowledge of her craft, and has the knack of imparting it to others, although it was too much to take in. Julie is constanly available to help and advise. Finally, love my "masterpiece". Highly recommended. Thank you, Julie"

Carol Greenwood reviewed: Fused Glass Half Day

"My daughter purchased a session as a birthday surprise and something we could do together. I was initially a bit nervous because I'm not creative and my daughter is. However, Julie soon put me at ease and I thoroughly enjoyed my session. I was quite blown away by the amount of different products in Julie's workshop - lots of beautiful colours and different textures that I found it hard to choose; like being a kid in a sweetie shop. Julie was very friendly, knowledgeable and encouraging. She was there each step of the process and gave advice but not in an overbearing manner so I felt very comfortable attempting to produce my own glass objects. Julie's mince pies and apple pies which went down well with our tea/coffee. I had a thoroughly enjoyable session and will be returning."
