Julies Handcrafted Glass reviews

Jeni reviewed: Fused Glass Half Day

"I had a lovely afternoon trying the different techniques and was so pleased with the results once they came out of the kiln. Julie was a very good teacher and a lovely hostess and made me feel very welcome. I had been wanting to try glass fusing for a long time and Julie really explained things clearly and gave me the right foundation to take this further if I want to in the future. Already booked to go back, this time bringing my Mum with me to do some Christmas decorations!"

"We both had a really enjoyable and productive afternoon. We had had no experience but Julie was a helpful, knowable and welcoming host. We both produced some lovely pieces and found it a very relaxing experience. We had booked to do another course ( short Xmas decoration course) before we left based on the afternoon's tuition! Neither of us would consider ourselves artistic but the pieces we produced are really lovely -we were given free reign with design/colours but Julie was always there as a guiding hand if required. We would both recommend this course as one you could repeat and still enjoy."

"My daughter and I had a fantastic morning with Julie - Julie made the experience very informative and relaxed. Making our pieces was so enjoyable (and I found it very therapeutic). When we picked up the pieces once they'd been in the kiln I couldn't believe that I could make something which looked so professional! Thoroughly enjoyable - would definitely recommend."

"I was bought this workshop session as a Christmas gift from my husband who knows I love anything crafty! I really enjoyed the session and made a lovely piece of glass art which is now standing in my lounge. There is a huge range of lovely things to do and Julie carefully guides you through the options. I have done lots of craft sessions over the years and thoroughly enjoyed this 1-2-1. I am sure I will be back to make something else. I will be recommending it to others."

"It was a family treat for my husband, myself and two daughters, and we had a lovely time. Our biggest decision was what to make! Finally, we made our choices and they've turned out beautiful. Julie was really enthusiastic, knowledgeable and helpful."

Sally Wilkin reviewed: Fused Glass - Taster

"This was an excellent taster session and left me eager to book a second session. Julie was a very encouraging teacher. She shared lots of information and was eager to give you the freedom to make your own design successfully. My finished item was ready the following day and I was very pleased with the outcome. I plan to return soon with my daughter. Thank you Julie for a great taster session."

Diane Rodger reviewed: Fused Glass Half Day

"I attended Julie's fused glass workshop with my partner & nine year old son. We had no clue what to expect. Julie was very welcoming, patient and passionate about the fused glass process and the kind of things that could be achieved. We all tried very different projects and were amazed with the results. Throughout the workshop Julie was very knowledgeable and encouraging. She really brought out our creativity (we surprised ourselves). Our fused glassware will be a beautiful reminder of the wonderful time we had and I would definitely recommend this course to others."

Charlotte Howell reviewed: Fused Glass Half Day

"I was lucky to be gifted a voucher from my partner, and spent a very enjoyable afternoon with Julie, and am very proud of my first piece of fused glass art! Julie encourages and advises - but doesn't take over - and has great knowledge of what may work and what definitely won't! She has helped me make the decision to start being more crafty in this area - and I'm looking forward to working with her more. Definitely the best gift I could have been given!"

Jo brackley reviewed: Fused Glass Half Day

"I did a workshop with Julie today having received a voucher for Christmas. Julie’s communication prior to the workshop was great and the workshop itself was brilliant. Julie helps you by knowing what is possible or not but let’s you decide on what you want to do and helps you to execute it by giving you tips without taking over. Haven’t seen the finished product yet but it won’t change my review. I’d definitely recommend this course!"

"5 of us attended Julie's glass fusing course which we all throughly enjoyed. We made coasters, Christmas decs and a window plaque. I picked them up a few days later after they had been in the kiln, we couldn't wait to see our finished pieces and we were not disappointed. Julie is a great laid back teacher, we all recommend this relaxing creative course. Thanks julie x❤x"

"An excellent afternoon making Christmas glass decorations. Everything was laid out and ready for us, and there were plenty of decorations to choose from. Julie was an excellent tutor and host.

Helen Binks reviewed: Fused glass Xmas decorations: morning workshop YOU MAKE YOUR OWN GROP UP

"I have recently retired and this was my first outing "doing something different" - it couldn't have been a better choice! I have done nothing creative in the past but Julie was a really encouraging and helpful teacher. She began with a very warm welcome to her home to put everyone at their ease, then told us some fascinating facts about glass before explaining how to make our decorations. She was always on hand to give advice and, as a result, I now have two decorations that will definitely have a place on the tree! I'm looking into giving vouchers for Julie's classes as Christmas gifts for my nieces too..."

"I went to Julies wanting make a picture in a theme of a beach view. Julie explained how everything worked and how the glass changes in firing I learnt about glass making and the process far more than I expected . After looking at examples of Julies work . I decided to make a field of poppies picture and I love the result. I really did have fun and found it relaxing thank you."

Showed work that had worked and some that didnt which helped me understand the glass process and firing. My work of art is now on my dining table for all to see. I am going back in the new year to create more . Thank you again for this wonderful experience ."
