"Karen, my sister-in-law and I enjoyed a lovely day with Jean and Janice learning new crafting techniques and through excellent tuition and patient guidance we were delighted to produce a variety of pieces using different processes. The lunch was delicious with homemade soups, bread and cakes. These lovely ladies made us very welcome and we’re excited to see the finished pieces on collection in a few weeks. A great day of learning new skills, meeting other crafters and having fun. Treat yourselves to a new experience. Thank you Jean and Janice from Lesley and Karen "

Jane reviewed: Glass Fusing and Slumping for Beginners and Improvers

"After a brief safety talk we were shown 4 different methods of fusing glass followed by time to try out all four under supervision and assistance of our lovely hosts Janice and Jean. This was followed by wonderful homemade soup( choice of 3 ) and muffins out in the summer sunshine. Then the hard work began ,deciding what we wanted to make ,there were plenty of ideas and shapes of glassware to hand and J & J there to advise if we needed help.I managed to make two more things. Such a great day ,can't wait to see my finished items after their double firings .Thanks again Jean & Janice"

"I had such a lovely day with the small group of people and two friendly and approachable tutors, nothing was too much trouble for them and they listened to my ideas and told me how to achieve them. I'd highly recommend this course, I'd never worked with glass before so was a bit apprehensive but was soon put at ease by everyone. The homemade lunch was delicious too."

Alison Maguire reviewed: Glass Fusing and Slumping for Beginners and Improvers

"Many thanks to you, Jean and Janice for a fabulous experience at my first fused glass workshop. It was a treat for our friend Jane's 'special' birthday as you know, but we all had a super time. You were both very patient with us all, clear with your instructions and tuition and you never made us feel rushed. Although we were concentrating hard, ensuring we were taking everything in, the time just flew by, which is always a good sign that you are enjoying yourself. The lunch was delicious and we all went back for more!! Thankfully we didn't have any breakages and we are all happy with our creations. Many thanks again Alison x"

JJ Fused Glass responded:

"Thank you Alison, for this generous review. It was a pleasure to meet you all and help to celebrate Jane’s birthday. I’m sorry I couldn’t be there when you collected your work, but we are both really pleased you enjoyed the day and are happy with your art work."

"Went back for my third session today and again absolutely loved it. Drinks and biscuits on arrival and chance for a quick chat with the group then on to the day's fun. After a cutting refresher making two snowflake hanging decorations, it was time to decide on the morning's project. Lots of helpful ideas and explanations on how to put my ideas onto paper to plan them tips along the way. Then a yummy homemade lunch then more time for another piece. Again a great day with fabulous teachers and a lovely group. Everyone made such lovely pieces, I can’t wait for the updates on them going in the kilns. See you when we pick the finished creations up then booking next workshop. Would recommend to anyone wanting to have a go. You will be amazed at what you can learn and create even on your first day. Thanks Janice and Jean and see you soon x"
