I love sharing my enthusiasm for fusing glass and using my experience to help people make a few pieces they are proud to display at home! I have a small studio where I make my own glass jewellery to sell via shops and galleries and I can teach up to 6 people at the studio in Worcester. I prefer small groups so that I can give each person the individual attention they need to make their creations - I have plenty of examples for those stuck for ideas!
"Four of us spent a fantastic day with Chris and Sarah after I had met them at Edgbaston artisan market and been given two vouchers for a special birthday.
In the morning we were delighted to find we would be working at the wheel and, with a few little mishaps, each of us managed to make three little pots, all completely different! Adding colour with the slip was fun. We can’t wait to see our creations when they have been fired. Chris was really patient and clear, showing us first then giving advice as we went along.
Meanwhile Sarah had prepared a fantastic lunch which we all had together, admiring all the beautiful pottery and glass.
The afternoon was spent in Sarah’s studio learning lots of techniques to make different kinds of glass decorations/pendants/coasters. Again she was a great teacher although it took us a bit longer to get our heads round it - so again she had to be patient with us. Her studio was an Aladdin’s cave of beautiful coloured glass and baubles. We loved it.
Before we left we were able to look at their little shop in the front room and all bought something to take home.
Overall we had a wonderful day and thought that it was good value for the whole experience. Best to wear old clothes for the pottery (some of us were messy although Chris gave us aprons). The directions and instructions were clear and communication before the course great. We were all new to both the pottery wheel and glass, so we learnt a great deal - and were all exhausted by the time we got home. We would all do it again and we can’t wait to go back to collect our creations. Thank you for a wonderful day. "

"Thank you so much for leaving such a comprehensive review - very much appreciated! Thanks, Sarah & Chris"
"Having just done a glass workshop with Sarah we would highly recommend it. We had such an enjoyable experience. It was fun as well as skills building. Sarah’s teaching and support was tailored to our ability, friendly and well prepared. There was choice about what to do and a range of easy and more difficult things to try. Sarah was always helpful and helped us to try things. All the safety about working with glass was clearly and well handled. We love the results of our learning, had a fabulous time, and we really want to do more."

"So pleased you both enjoyed the workshop and are pleased with your results! many thanks for leaving a review."
"My husband and I went to do a day learning how to throw pots and getting to grips so the fused glass.
Sarah and Chris were both fantastic. Encouraging, knowledgeable and really made the day special.
Sarah did the fused glass with us first. She shows us the basics, and then let us work our way from a basic piece to something a little more adventurous. I think there will be some beautiful pieces out of the session.
Chris showed us how to throw pots. He started with the basics, giving real clear and helpful instructions and guidance. I love that he was able to guide us so easily but didn’t once stop us being able to put ourselves right and learn from his years of experience. I loved being able to choose how we slip glazed the pots too - a really lovely element of this particular course.
The lunch was delicious and the drinks flowed throughout the day. No complaints on that front at all and a lovely added extra to the day.
I cannot wait to see the end results.
Would definitely recommend if you’re looking for something a bit different where you really get some focussed tuition and a chance to learn from their skills and years or expertise. "

"Thank you so much for leaving such a great and detailed review - I'm sure that is helpful to others wondering about doing our course! Thanks very much"
"The half day combined pottery and glass fusion workshop was brilliant. My wife and I found it very interesting getting to try two completely different crafts and we really enjoyed the experience. Sarah and Chris are very friendly, personable, and great teachers.
Price-wise I was slightly nervous spending that amount on the course but it was definitely worth every penny. We will cherish our wonderful glass and pottery pieces! Thanks so much :) "

"It was great to meet you both - thanks very much for taking the time to review. many thanks, Sarah & Chris"
