He's managed over covid really well and the class is well equipped and warm, with a weekly cup of tea! The other students are an inspiration and the class is so relaxed and friendly, I look forward to this every week- it is completely addictive!"

"Another excellent workshop from Martin. Martin gives all the explanation and demonstrations that you need, all the equipment and then lots of encouragement to try the techniques. It's fun and highly absorbing and I'm already thinking about the next one. Thank you Martin."

"A fantastic day with expert guidance and support from Martin. Everyone had their own workspaces and tools and all the equipment (glass, paint, brushes etc) was provided for. Martin's demos were super helpful and we had lots of opportunities to ask questions and get support throughout the day. It was great to have the freedom to experiment and make our own designs too! Thoroughly enjoyed the day and can't believe how much fun it was. I've now picked up yet another hobby!"

"I loved this, had a fantastic day. Kate was encouraging and kept us moving on to make sure we'd all finish and take our pieces home. I've wanted to work with glass for a long time, and I'll be trying to find time for the term long workshops. Really really enjoyed it."

"What’s lovely gift this was, bought for my birthday. My wife and I attended. We created a stained glass panel, on our one day course. Kate our instructor, was relaxed, fun and very informative. Everything we needed was supplied with clear, concise instruction. Directions to the location were good, with loads of free parking. I would definitely recommend this course… It’s 5 stars from us!"

Clare reviewed: Make a Tiffany stained glass tea light

"I attended this course on Sat 26/02/22. It was a very intense, satisfying and enjoyable experience. Kate was a wonderful tutor and guided all of us to produce wonderful and very individual tea lights. It was lovely to meet with a great bunch of new people, who also helped me when I struggled a little for which I am very grateful. I would recommend you dive straight in, you will be very happy with the teaching, the atmosphere and your beautiful tea light to take home and cherish. I would do another glass workshop in a heartbeat, I have been well and truly bitten by the glass crafting bug!"

"We booked this for my mother in law as a Christmas present, and I decided that I would go along with her to keep her company. This presented with some level of anxiety as she’s the crafty one not me… but I wanted her to have someone to enjoy the course with. I am so glad I decided to come along. It was a brilliant course, and even novices like me were able to take something home that I’d be proud to put on the side! Kate was a fantastic course tutor, and was really encouraging. I’d definitely be back for another course. Thanks again."

Karen reviewed: Make a Tiffany stained glass tea light

"My friend and I attended this course yesterday - Kate was an excellent tutor, always conscious of safety. A full day of glass making, learning how to cut glass, grind the edges, apply copper bindings, tinning and soldering the pieces together. We both had great fun and came away with two beautiful and unique tea light holders - an excellent day and we can’t wait to return !!"

"I thoroughly enjoyed my first Glass Fusion course. Martin was a brilliant teacher, with very clear guidance and advice in what we needed to know to achieve a good result. The 5 hours went so fast and I would love to repeat it again in the future. If you are wondering about it then go for it, you'll enjoy it I'm sure, even if you don't think you're creative. I can't wait to see my pieces"

"Fantastic course to teach you all the basics for glass fusing. Martin was informative, very helpful and a great pace to the session. We got to create lots of different glass pieces. If you are creative and like trying something new this is the course for you."

Jane reviewed: Introduction to fused glass (1 day) in Sheffield, South Yorkshire

"I spent a throughly enjoyable 5 hours at Martin's workshop. As a complete novice I was not sure how successful I would be, but Martin was a fabulous teacher. Within minutes we were cutting glass and within the hour had our first piece made. It was a perfect way to be in the moment, to leave the hustle of life outside the studio. Martin was supportive but allowed you the freedom to be creative with a range of materials in a rainbow of colours. Can't wait to see my fired pieces. If you are sitting on the fence about this course, get signed up!"

"Attended my first (and won’t be my last) glass fusing day with Martin. Excellent well organised workshop, very clear, precise and simple instructions to follow. Martin was on hand for help and advise but you were given the space to be as creative as you wanted with a large selection of different materials to use. Amazing how much you learn and get to make in the 5 hours, the time just flew by. If your reading this review..go for it you certainly won’t be disappointed ?"

"I attended my first fusing glass experience with Martin on 23rd January. The day was thoroughly enjoyable. Martin is an excellent teacher, explained everything you need to know to create your own individual pieces. The class was a great opportunity to try something different. I loved it. Want more.?"

"I was bought CraftCourse vouchers for my birthday and chose to do a Fused Glass workshop with Martin at Martin McAssey Glass. I was a bit nervous as I don't consider myself especially creative and I was also attending on my own. However, I needn't have worried - I had a great day! Martin was clearly very knowledgeable and helpful, but also allowed us develop our own style as we progressed through our pieces. I didn't feel awkward at all - in fact, I was so into my 'creations', I barely looked up and time flew by. Martin had a great array of materials and we could take inspiration from items Martin had on display or choose our own designs. We made several different pieces on the day and I can't wait to see how they turn out after firing! Hopefully I'll have some lovely personal pieces. I would thoroughly recommend this activity. I had a great time and it was fantastic value for money. The workshop is also easy to get to and had plenty of parking."

"What a fantastic day! Right from the beginning, we were made welcome by Kate, who gave us a safety brief and answered any questions we had. I was a complete novice to glass crafting but Kate was an excellent teacher who gave us step-by-step instructions to ensure we were successful! We learned so many new skills and created some amazing Xmas baubles! I would highly recommend this course and will probably be back myself next year! Thankyou Kate! X"
