Sarah Freelove reviewed: Blow a bauble at Chew Valley handmade glass

"This was a gift for my granddaughter’s birthday and somehow she chose a date that was one of the hottest days of the year! However, this did in no way detract from the experience. From the minute we arrived the whole process was explained fully to Ella before she started. Ella was able to choose her two colours and added them in the order that she wanted. She watched while it was shaped, then she blew down the sterilised tube to create her bauble. Finally the loop was added ready for the ribbon once it was cool. Choosing the ribbon colour was probably the hardest choice - lots to choose from! It was a fabulous experience which Ella loved doing. I was extremely impressed with the way that everything was explained fully and it was all done very safely. I can highly recommend this for a gift experience and needless to say Ella is really looking forward to collecting her bauble! "

"Thank you so much Sarah for your lovely review, Ella was a pleasure to work with. Regards Steve and Angie "

Grahame Gould reviewed: Glass blowing course - taster

" I had a 3 hour glass-blowing session on 14th June 2025 and could not recommend it more highly. Steve and Angie were very friendly and welcoming to me and my wife, who came to observe. Throughout the session they gave clear, easy-to- understand instructions, were enthusiastic and encouraging when I got it right and relaxed and supportive when I didn't. Their expertise and long experience was clear to see and I have now got some attractive souvenirs of my session. Brilliant afternoon. Five stars all round. Grahame"

Chew Valley HandMade Glass responded:

"Thank you for your kind review Grahame always great to hear when someone has enjoyed our courses. It was a pleasure to work with you and also meet your wife. Regards Steve and Angie "
