"Very enjoyable day learning how to throw pots with loads of time spent practising while Richard gives helpful advice. A great way to share a creative experience with friends or family. He’s a good teacher and also makes very tasty soup for lunch!"

Kerry & Mark reviewed: Full day introduction to glass fusing course.

"My husband and I had a wonderful day. We both had different previous experience of glass fusing and ideas of what we wanted to create - Amanda was able to tailor the experience for each of us so that we could produce beautiful creations to take away. Amanda is an outstanding host and teacher, providing fantastic home cooked food and refreshments. She takes time to understand how we learn to be able to get the most out of the day. Thank you!"
