I am a self taught fused glass artist with over 15 years experience of teaching the fascinating art of kiln forming glass. At the various craft fairs I attended, I kept getting asked if I taught classes. Could I.....would I? so I started and I absolutely love it! We live in gorgeous North Cornwall where our lovely spacious studio offers the perfect setting for an Afternoon Taster Course, a Full Day Introduction to Glass Fusing or a One to One course exploring the world of glass fusing. And according to my students, the food's not bad either! :)
"I had a fantastic day. Although I have never tried glass fusing before, I found Amanda’s explanation of the day was very clear over our starting coffee/ drink and biscuits. After health and safety, and discussion of different techniques were covered, we had an overview of facilities. We then progressed on to what we wanted to create. Amanda was very good at guiding my ideas to what was actually achievable within the time frame. I managed to create 3 different projects. Cutting the glass was not my forte, but Amanda was very supportive and assisted with this. I think more practice on the trainees part, not that it is a difficult technique to master. First project under the belt before lunch. And lunch was amazing. Two course, menu I guess varies upon season. I had created for me, homemade chicken, sweetcorn and potato soup / stew (keep in mind this is British October) and chocolate brownie and fudge sauce, just to die for! The afternoon was spent creating my two other designs. Again, Amanda was very helpful with direction and suggestion on how to achieve my design ideas.
Overall a very enjoyable experience, a day of learning and fun. A very good tutor having patience with a newbie, and a five star xxxxx chef as well. Thank you Amanda for a very informative and practical educational day."
"I attended the full day glass fusing workshop (Pink House Glass) and loved every minute, literally from the moment I walked in and was welcomed by a warm and friendly Amanda, up to the moment I reluctantly had to leave, 7 hours later! Amanda is a patient and inspirational teacher, full of enthusiasm for her craft, I had an amazing day chatting, laughing, learning and creating, a real therapy. I can't wait to pick up my creations in a couple of days time. The course really is a bargain for the price when you consider that you get to make two lovely good size pieces of glassware to take away, along with the hours of tuition and guidance that you get and not forgetting the lunch of course which was as great as everyone says it is. Thank you Amanda for an unforgettable and joyful experience and of course thanks to Russ who bought this workshop as a gift for me."

"Thank you so much for your lovely review Tanya :) I really enjoyed spending the day with you and sharing the wonderful world of glass fusing. I look forward to your next visit and exploring more ideas and processes."
"Spent a great day with Amanda learning a lot about glass fusing techniques, she is so passionate about it and this certainly came across when she teaches. Having no previous experience, I was able to produce two pieces of glass in a friendly and relaxed environment. Amanda also cooked a wonderful lunch, the whole day was fabulous and I've already asked to put my name down to participate in her Christmas glass workshop. I can't wait to collect my items, so many thanks for a memorable day Amanda."
