"I had an amazing Session with Kim. I have never done this before and she was excellent at giving me careful instructions and guidance. I really got into it and really enjoyed my session. I managed to make around 16 beads and walked away with 5 pairs of earrings, a bracelet, key ring and a book mark. Kim was friendly and made the session enjoyable. I would recommend this to anyone. I had an awesome day and will book again in the future."

"What a brilliant afternoon! I booked this course at the last minute, just for myself because I was feeling the January blues, and was looking for a distraction. Couldn't have picked anything better! Kim is a wonderful teacher, patient and full of good humour. She is very generous with her time and advice, and with the materials. I managed to make loads of lovely glass beads, and Kim helped me to make a beautiful bead bracelet as well. I can’t recommend this course enough; I had a great time! (And my January blues are gone 😊)"

Bethyboobeads responded:

" I am so pleased you managed to pick this course and have a lovely time. You are very talented lady and will go onto make some beautiful craft items yourself, thank you so much, it was a pleasure to meet you x"

"Very generous host! No messing about… straight in with making beads. Came away with a really nice necklace and two bookmarks and a few spare beads. Hands on rather than a demo which some classes can be. 👍"

Bethyboobeads responded:

" Lovely to have met you both, you’re very talented and made some lovely bits, a very happy Christmas to you both x"

"An absolutely fantastic afternoon! I booked this as a surprise for my Mum and we both ended up loving it! Kim was a fantastic teacher, really patient and guided us through the process brilliantly. We made lots of trinkets at the end and took home so many wonderful memories too. 100% recommend! "

Bethyboobeads responded:

" A pleasure to have had you both in my class, two very talented ladies, and such good company. So happy you enjoyed your day, and hopefully will see you again, a very happy Christmas to both of you xx"

"We had THE best afternoon with Kim! What a fantastic thing to do and she’s a great teacher, we made 7 beads each and then got to create our own jewellery/bookmarks and bag charms with our handiwork and other sparkles and beautiful beads that Kim had made earlier… and we were spoilt with sweet treats, crisps drinks and nibbles as we were working! I can’t recommend enough! One of my friends couldn’t make it at the last minute and Kim went out of her way to send her a goody bag and ask after her. We were enjoying ourselves so much we totally lost track of time. A huge thank you for a very special experience Kim, we will definitely be back if you’d have us!? x"

Bethyboobeads responded:

" Many thanks Sophie, you were all a pleasure to have taught and so talented. It will be great to see you again and for your poor friend to have a lovely afternoon as well. So glad you love all your bits, they really did look fabulous. See you soon I hope and if not have a fabulous Christmas with the families xx"

"Fantastic experience! It's a difficult skill to get the hang of, but with expert and patient tutelage, we came away with a beautiful selection of beads. Kim was very accommodating in agreeing our booking, as we had two vouchers to use. Really friendly and very thoughtful in terms of refreshments too! Highly recommend, so much fun!"

"We had an absolutely amazing time! Kim is fantastic! From the moment we walked through the doors to the very end when we left with two completely unique necklaces, we were laughing, having a brilliant time, expertly guided, learned so much - and had coffee, biscuits and crisps! Give yourself a treat and book this course with Kim - she is brilliant, and you will come away with heirloom art you previously didn't think you could possibly make yourself."

Bethyboobeads responded:

" Thank you so much, you are both stars and so talented, and always lovely to have such good company for a fun afternoon. Enjoy the rest of your big birthday with some lovely surprises, I hope xx"

"Liz and I spent an enjoyable afternoon (in March) with Kim, Liz learning to make beads and although I didn't make beads (my eyesight problem not Kim's fault) I did have a lovely discussion about machine embroidery - which prompted me to upgrade mine. Kim was very helpful in recommending a great Embroidery machine shop and alerting me that the prices of the machines were about to go up (I ordered with a day to spare, that saved me £600!). I was generously given free reign to make jewellery pieces from Kim's stash. Liz has now bought her own kit with the view to starting a small business. We would both highly recommend Kim courses."

"I had a really enjoyable session with Kim. She is an excellent teacher, calm and inspires confidence. Making the beads was not as hard as I'd imagined and Kim gave me help if I needed it but let me just get on and experiment and learn too. After making the beads we then put them together making a necklace and a key ring in my case. I was so pleased with the results."

"I attended this workshop last week with 2 friends and we had a fantastic time. Kim is a brilliant teacher - so welcoming, enthusiastic, patient and encouraging and so generous with her time and hosting. We all made gorgeous glass beads and incorporated them into lovely items. It was a great experience and I would highly recommend! Thank you Kim!"

Jemma reviewed: Flamework/Lampwork 3 hr beads taster.. super creative fun for 1 or more people

"I spent a wonderful afternoon yesterday making glass beads and jewellery/accessories with my two friends from university. From the moment we stepped in the door, Kim was so welcoming and so very generous with her time and knowledge; she’s a truly fantastic teacher. The girls and I only meet up a few times a year and we like to choose a creative activity to occupy us - we’ve done plenty of crafts together over the years, but were all complete beginners to lampwork. Yet with Kim’s expert tuition, all three of us created 6 beautifully different (and pretty round!) glass beads each, which we then turned into a variety of bookmarks, keyrings and bracelets. We’ll definitely be back for embroidery round two! xx"

Bethyboobeads responded:

" Thank you so much Jemma, it was a real pleasure having such a talented trio. You all are so creative and made some beautiful pieces that I know will be admired. Will love to see you all again. xx"
