Ann Waterman reviewed: Introduction to Glass Fusing with Enamels - Full Day Workshop

"I spent an exciting and productive day last Saturday working on glass with enamels, something I had never done before. Steve Robinson was patient and informative. He had to cope with two people who had very different capabilities when it came to working with glass. One had her own kiln and had come to learn more about her craft, whereas l had no experience at all. Steve judged the amount of technical information brilliantly, keeping the interest of both of us, whilst still imparting the techniques that the other lady required. We both produced pieces that we could be proud of, and agreed that we would enjoy further courses in the future. Many thanks for a great day!"

"Best Birthday Treat As a complete novice to fused glass, I found Steve to be a very patient, encouraging tutor and nothing was too much trouble. I enjoyed every moment of the day from start to finish! I booked a one day workshop as my recent 60th Birthday treat. When I arrived, Steve was very welcoming and explained health & safety, and how the day would run. He then gave an interesting explanation of the different types of glass fusing, how it is achieved and with numerous examples for inspiration. We would be using enamel powders to create the designs either in a transparent or opaque finish. Steve then demonstrated how to apply the powders in creating a tea light panel, before I had a go at making my own as a practice piece in preparation for my larger wall panel. An included Sunday lunch at the local pub followed and I have to say was superb! Later, I was helped by Steve to draw out and cut stencils for my wall panel design. He cut out some shapes in glass to add layers of interest. In-between colouring my main panel, I was encouraged to experiment with designs on more tea light panels. The finished pieces all went in the kiln overnight. Collecting them the next day, I was delighted with the results. Steve also let me take home his demo piece, so I came away with 4 smaller artworks as well as my main one. A really wonderful day and experience that I will never forget. I can't wait to do another workshop with Steve. Maybe to mark my 61st birthday!"

"My family and I had the most fantastic day on Steve's one-day Introduction to Glass Fusing with Enamels. He made true artistes out of us all!! He was both patient and very good at explaining the process and helping us all to create some beautiful pieces - none of us had ever done it before! Would highly recommend it. Had a beautiful Sunday roast too - the perfect day!"

"Steve is a great teacher, who is enthusiastic about passing on information to his student. He is very easy to talk to and made the whole session very enjoyable. The two hours are packed full of information but Steve makes sure that you are happy with the speed of the lesson and waits patiently for you to keep up with each stage of the process."

Jenny reviewed: Glass Fusing with Enamels Taster Class - Make a Tealight Curve

"This taster evening class was a gift and maybe not something I would have thought of doing, but I found it very enjoyable. Steve explained everything very clearly before and during the process of making our tea-lights. Considering I was a complete novice I am very pleased with the result, which I picked up a couple of days later when it had been fired."

"The taster session was a gift and I had no idea what to expect but I was very pleasantly surprised. The evening was fun, relaxed and informative. Steve is a charming chap who is clearly a very talented artist. I collected my tea light after it had been fired in the kiln and was really pleased with the result."

"My wife bought the taster course for me as a wedding present, one of the best I’ve had! Excellent course, Steve was good company and really knows his stuff, took me through the process and was on hand to help throughout. Plus the added bonus of a tea light made with my own (plus a bit of Steve’s) fair hand! Highly recommended!"

Kathy French reviewed: Introduction to Glass Fusing with Enamels - Full Day Workshop

"Steve explained everything very well (didn't talk down to us) and was very helpful and obliging in assisting each of us achieve our desired result. He's a patient, good teacher. The day was well thought out and busy yet flexible and well paced so that each of us was able to make trial/test pieces before our main project. The advice about having something in mind beforehand was good and Steve even phoned beforehand to help me develop my ideas. A very enjoyable day and I intend to join another class in future."

"I attended a workshop to make a tea light panel. Knowing nothing about glass I didn't know what to expect. Steve's guidance is both interesting and clear, with lots of ideas and support as and when you need it. I don't normally like things I have made myself but this is an exception , I am delighted with it and want to do more! I really recommend anyone having a go!"

"Steve is so helpful and exceptionally patient. It was a fabulous day and Steve encouraged us to make as many things in the time that we had. I had a very special project which Steve helped me to create and I am absolutely thrilled with the result. I would recommend this course for anybody who is interested in doing something a little bit different from the usual craft courses. I did the evening taster class before Christmas which left me wanting to do more. Thank you Steve, my Mum was thrilled with her ‘special’ panel."
