Mark Turnbull reviewed: Fused Glass Candle Curve

"The glass course was a 50th birthday present for my wife and we loved it. The workshop is in a fabulous setting looking over the river, has plenty of space and all the materials necessary. Wendy was fab, with some great ideas and examples of previous work from which to gain inspiration. We made glass candle curves which Wendy was happy to arrange delivery upon completion. It was an extremely cold day, but Wendy provided plenty of hot drinks and biscuits to keep us going. All in all a great morning, thoroughly recommend it. "

"A wonderful day and experience. The Studio was in a stunning location. Wendy was a really great teacher. We had not attempted anything like this before and she was patient and informative with us. We made some lovely things which we would not have thought we would be able to produce on our first try in a day. Would highly recommend this course. "

"Wow, what a lovely day. The venue is in a beautiful setting. Wendy is very patient and informative, the skills and techniques learnt allowed me to make something that evolved into something to be a bit proud of. Thank you Wendy, I'd like to come again. "

"A group of us booked a day at the fused glass workshop. None of us had done fused glass before. We had a lovely day. Wendy is an excellent teacher and talented craftworker. She has some beautiful work on display at the glassworks. By the end of the day, the four of us had each made very different wall hangings. Wendy has a well equipped workshop and was a very patient tutor. We had an interesting, fun and friendly session. Would definitely recommend it."

"Lovely meditative morning creating glass designs ready to be fired and fit into the lantern. Wendy was really knowledgeable and helpful when it came to applying the finishing touches before it went in the kiln. Can't wait to pick it up in 2 weeks."

Penny Scutter reviewed: Fused Glass Candle Curve

"Thank you for a very special day, from finding the studio in its tranquil location, to meeting Wendy, spending the morning with a very talented tutor who was willing to share the techniques of her craft she had with you to achieve your very own work of art. A thoroughly enjoyable day, cannot wait to see the finished piece after the magic of the kiln has done its job and brought the colours alive. A day to treasure, felt so comfortable and relaxed, a real tonic for a little bit of time for one's self. Cannot recommend this course highly enough....book yourself a course..... Thank you Wendy....until the next time....regards Penny"

"My daughter and I did a half-day lantern-making workshop with Wendy and had a real blast. I've done this workshop before and was thrilled to have another go to try and improve my technique. It was my daughter's first try at fused glass work but as an illustrator she had a grand idea and pulled it off under Wendy's guidance and tuition. Wendy is always so patient and helpful which results in lovely finished pieces for everyone. The studio is in such a wonderful setting, you can't fail to feel 'restored' after a visit and the fact that you come away with something you've made yourself (even though you wait for a couple of weeks for it to be fired - that helps build the excitement!) just adds to your sense of well-being and achievement. I can't recommend Wendy's workshops highly enough - they are a tonic for the soul!"

Trish Reynolds reviewed: Lantern Making with Fused Glass

"Definitely a five star experience. Learning to work with glass on our fused glass lantern course was really great. The setting, the studio, the relaxed and peaceful atmosphere all added to a wonderful morning. Wendy helped us to create lanterns that each of us that attended as a group are proud of. Thank you for a brilliant time. "

"I had a really lovely morning and using a candle to bend glass was a particularly interesting technique to learn. It was a little tricky to find the venue though."

"Wow! Wendy was absolutely amazing and so was the day! She is gifted, thoughtful, personable and inspiring. I bought the day course for my daughter who is at University Arts London and she absolutely loved it!"

"Had a lovely, inspiring morning making a candle curve with Wendy, would thoroughly recommend. A beautiful, tranquil setting (though make sure you read the instructions carefully as to how to find it, allow yourself plenty of time to get there & don’t rely on your Sat nav!). Wendy is keen to make sure everyone has a great experience & we finished the morning feeling really inspired & pleased with our creations."

"I had a lovely morning with Wendy and two other lovely Ladies. Had a great time and look forward to seeing my finished work when it’s been in the kiln. Hopefully before the summers finished I will be doing a full day's workshop. Though the venue is not the easiest place to find, it is well worth it when you arrive: wonderful views and peaceful location. Thank you Wendy for your inspiration, help, knowledge and hospitality. See you again before too long. Caroline"

Linda reviewed: Fused Glass workshops at Bere Alston, near Tavistock, Devon

"Had a lovely day yesterday at Wendy's Fused Glass day course. What a fabulous studio and setting, overlooking the Tamar river, wow! Even though I've done a Stained Glass course i.e cutting glass, I have learnt so much more from Wendy, and now feel confident in using different tools. She gave us loads of advice and help. Thanks Wendy for our really great day and I'm really looking forward to seeing my finished project/picture once it's been fired. (p.s love your sheep)"

Glory of Glass responded:

"Thanks Linda - my pleasure; I enjoyed having you both at the Studio yesterday."

"Last Saturday I attended a whole day Glass Fusion Workshop lead by Wendy Bradberry at Glory of Glass. What a fabulous day! First the setting: a cosy, light studio overlooking the beautiful River Tamar. We were a small group of novices and we soon settled and gelled over cups of tea and coffee and enjoyed a morning of learning how to cut glass. Wendy competently instructed us in various techniques, showed us samples of previous work and then led us in creating our pieces of glass. We wait to receive our glasswork after it’s been through the kiln. It was a totally enjoyable day in good company. I’d highly recommend the workshop."

"Wendy is highly qualified, some of her work displayed in the workshop (a beautiful converted old barn) is stunning. Only after completing the course can you appreciate the skill Wendy has. She is a great teacher, quickly puts you at ease and teaches so many aspects of glass fusion. It is obvious that Wendy wants you to, not only enjoy your course, but also the whole experience. The converted barn is in the most beautiful secluded spot overlooking a lake, so serene and just adding to the whole experience. This was bought as a gift for me and it's the gift that just keeps giving, as the wall hanging I made, I will give to my daughter as a huge thank you for having had a wonderful day. Thank you Wendy for making the course so special. I will be back in the summer."

The tutelage is clear and easy to understand, with plenty of opportunity to have a go before committing to your final masterpiece!
