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!
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.

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.
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)
Response from Glory of Glass:
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.
Wendy was a great teacher and taught me all the skills I needed to produce a lovely piece of fused glass work. I had a thoroughly enjoyable time and look forward very much to doing another one very soon!
I would highly recommend a glass making day with Wendy. The workshop is beautiful, light and airy with all the equipment you need fully provided. The tutelage is clear and easy to understand, with plenty of opportunity to have a go before committing to your final masterpiece! The warm friendly environment was lovely, with the whole experience being so relaxing and rewarding. I will definitely be back again. Thank you so much.
I was a complete beginner, but I still managed to have a lot of fun. It was a really nice relaxing course, I recommend it for people of all levels of experience. thank you for a lovely day!
I had a BRILLIANT day, in a wonderful setting.
Wendy is a thoughtful and patient Tutor.
Absolutely fantastic course, always something new to learn.
Wendy has so much patience and clearly loves to see everyones end results!!
Cant wait for our next visit!!
My daughter and I attended an introduction to glass fusion course with Wendy in her beautiful studio. The studio has a wonderful setting, but is also spacious and really well organised with lovely examples of glass work displayed. Wendy has a warm personality and a generous nature, but also, very importantly, she is an excellent teacher. She is very thorough and we felt very safe with regard to Covid and also the use of equipment and methods of working. Once we had learned the technique of cutting glass, both in straight and curved lines we were given ideas to inspire us for our own piece of work.
I think we were probably both quite ambitious in what we tried to do and it was lovely to have this freedom to have a go! Wendy explains things so well and is really encouraging too. We had such an enjoyable day! It was fun, relaxing and inspiring to be in such a lovely setting. Thank you Wendy for your expertise, generosity of time and materials. I thoroughly recommend this course and I hope to return.
What an absolute joy the course was. My daughter and I have been to Wendy's a few times now and always come away happy. Our pieces are on display in our homes and looking at them is a reminder of enjoyable times. Wendy is so patient and provides ideas when 'brain freeze' occurs; we absolutely recommend spending time with Wendy at her lovely studio. Jane W and Sarah W
Relaxed but productive time. Good tuition and lots to play with. Will certainly be doing another course. Really pleased with my lantern!
Thoughly enjoyed doing lantern, never done anything like this before. Very relaxing felt totally at ease lovely people, beautiful setting very well planned out very covid friendly face shields nice small class loads of ventilation. Looking forward to another class well done Wendy your a fantastic teacher.
A very relaxed but well led time with Wendy. She helps you to feel that “you can do this”. The time felt well organised and there was plenty of time to finish your project. Wendy was very helpful, making suggestions and showing how to achieve your goal. A thoroughly enjoyable time. Thank you Wendy.
OMG, I did not know what to expect, and was a bit apprehensive, as I have never worked in this medium.
I should not have worried, Wendy talked me through the safety procedures, and then demonstrated how to cut straight edges, and then onto onto curves, I also had a 'go' at grinding edges of glass. Looking through her extensive collections of photos, gave me the idea for my piece of wall handing, drawing it first, and then onto cutting the many colours of glass that i chose to use. Wendy was attentive, but let me work at my own pace. I was absolutely thrilled with the piece I carefully placed in the kiln, I cannot wait for the finished piece to arrive. Thank you Wendy for such an enjoyable day, I feel i learnt a lot in a relaxing, and beautiful studio with a first class tutor.
What a Beautiful spot to spend the day crafting. Wendy our host was absolutely lovely and was exceptional in her tutoring of fused glass making. We were made very welcome and a cup of tea always available. We made a lovely piece of fused glass to be treasured.
I would recommend Wendy and her classes to anyone and will certainly be returning at a later date.
I have now completed two sessions with Wendy. She is a fantastic, patient teacher for any level of expertise. Her lovely workshop is very organised and it is easy to find anything you may need. She also has lots of pictures of work from previous students for inspiration. She is very enthusiastic about her students work. Everything was very safe in the current times with plenty of precautions due to covid. I'll be back.
A really lovely, creative and productive day. As a TOTAL novice I was apprehensive at first but Wendy is an excellent teacher and I was able to produce an interesting piece of work (hopefully!). Wendy is a very welcoming and encouraging tutor and her studio is a fantastic workspace; spacious, clean and very organised. She adhered to all the Covid Protocols and it was lovely to be able to have such an experience and learn a new skill after such strange times. Thank you Wendy :)
An amazing day building memories with my Grandaughter. Wendy very welcoming the studio bright and airy in a beautiful part of Devon. Wendy very attentive and patient...Ellie and I were delighted we were able to demonstrate the skills we learnt and we are excited to see the final finished product. Thank you Wendy for for a great day...
Had a most enjoyable day with Wendy learning how to fuse glass. As a complete novice Wendy clearly explained all the necessary techniques and we had plenty of time to practice before we designed our own pieces. Lots of beautiful colours to choose from. Can't wait to see my finished item once it has been fired.
My daughter and I really enjoyed our day at Wendy’s lovely workshop. Although complete novices when we started, under Wendy’s patient guidance and tutoring, we were delighted at what we were able to achieve by the end of the day. I would thoroughly recommend this course to anyone who has never worked with glass before. We look forward to seeing our finished pieces.
The glass workshop was bought as a Christmas present for me which got delayed because of various lockdowns. However when I attended at the end of April I thoroughly enjoyed it. Wendy was very patient showing me how to score and cut the glass and showed me what could be created with all the various glass etc.
When I came away I decided there and then that I would love to attend another class which has been booked. Wendy was so welcoming and explained the technique so well which made the overall experience a very enjoyable one. I would definitely recommend these classes. Excellent!
Response from Glory of Glass:
Thank you for your review - looking forward to seeing you again in July.Had a lovely day at the Glory of Glass workshop. Beautiful setting, lovely room. Wendy was a very patient and kind teacher and I am looking forward to receiving the finished piece soon, as Wendy has fired it and posted out. I would recommend (and have) the glass workshop to everyone. I will definitely be returning in the future.
Response from Glory of Glass:
Thanks Suzanne - it was a pleasure to have you. Look forward to seeing you again.What a fantastic experience we had today! Wendy's lovely workshop is bright and airy and set in a beautiful location which can't help but inspire you. There is an amazing variety of coloured glass to choose from and Wendy explains and demonstrates each technique carefully. We had such fun and can't wait to come back for another day of creativity!
Had a fab day doing this course. Wendy was so helpful and patient and helped all she could to enable us to achieve the item we had chosen to design.
Nice rural setting and great choice of glass options to work with.
Really enjoyed the day. I had read some basics before attending but had not tried fusing before. Wendy was very informative and helpful; she provided lots of hints and tips and wasn't worried about sharing her experiences or useful ideas. Thoroughly recommend.
Just enjoyed a lovely day with Wendy, my first time working with glass. Pre-course organisation was good, and attention to being Covid-safe was excellent. Wendy was a clear and patient tutor helping me to refine and realise my initial idea... I'm very much looking forward to seeing the final version once it's been fired.
A most comprehensive day of tuition, help and encouragement.
Relaxed, genuine enthusiasm and interest enabled a positive experience.
A lovely day. Even if you think you know how to do some aspects and are aware of things - skills take time, allow even more - especially if like me you talk a lot.
Most enjoyable, thank you.
I brought my Granddaughter as a treat for her birthday. What a fabulous bonding day for the both of us. Wendy explained everything very clearly from beginning to end and had immense patience. Learning to cut glass I found quite frightening to start with, however Wendy inspires confidence and we soon thoroughly enjoyed cutting different size pieces.
Creating our own wall hanging was immense fun. A thoroughly enjoyable day.
2nd visit to Wendy and most fabulous day again! Thought I would do something different and Wendy (as always) is happy to see that come to life.
Will be back for 3/4/5 visits ☺
Excellent
Thank you Wendy. It’s been a really fun day and I loved making my lighthouse! You gave excellent tuition and made wonderful tea! I now have so much respect for crafts people who work with glass! Curves are not easy!!
This has also been really good mindfulness practice, with the rest of my life all put into the background for a few hours.
Thanks again. All the best Rob.
We really loved this workshop! It is our second time here and we shall come again.
Wendy is a great teacher, such a lovely, friendly, softly spoken lady.
My second workshop was even more enjoyable than the first! Absolutely fabulous day Wendy, thank you so much.
I’ll definitely be coming along to see you again.
Thoroughly thoroughly enjoyed every minute. Can't wait to see the finished result. Wendy is lovely and very helpful. Calm teaching technique. Thank you for a lovely day I shall cherish with my daughter forever.
Fabulous day! Great level of instruction. Good resources and lots of help from Wendy in order to create a quality final product. I'll come again.
Absolutely fantastic experience. Wendy you are a fabulous teacher and your patience is second to none. Lovely small group today which made the whole experience so very enjoyable. Will definitely be booking a full day course in the near future.
Thank you again, Sarah x
PS: I think this may be the start of a new hobby :)
I had a fantastic day. Lovely environment and excellent teacher.
The time went so quickly and I learned so much. Lots of encouragement and fantastic ideas. Can't wait to get my glass work back.
Wendy is an inspiration and so patient, welcoming and kind that you can't help but enjoy the day and celebrate what you have achieved.
Thank you so!!! much. A pleasure to have been taught by you :) x
Thank you Wendy!
Amazing resources, very well organised and friendly tuition. I was inspired and thoroughly enjoyed the whole glass workshop experience.
I thoroughly enjoyed my day - Wendy explained the processes and gave good tips, and I was delighted with the finished product. I can thoroughly recommend the experience - thank you.
I found the day very informative. Wendy patiently explained how to cut the glass, enabling us to have hands on experience of the whole process rather than be given cut shapes and then we had a great day cutting, shaping and grinding the glass before assembling our creations.
I can't wait to see my birds when they come out of the kiln - thank you so much.
Excellent day and very informative. I loved being able to create something so beautiful and freely. A lovely relaxing way to spend the day. Wendy was very welcoming and so helpful. Thank you for sharing your skill with us xx
Awesome day. Learnt so much, thank you Wendy. Feel really inspired to become involved with my art once again.
I have been to the glass studio before. I enjoyed it so much I brought my Mum and 2 sisters back.
Wendy is very patient. She listens to what you want to achieve and offers you ideas of how to achieve this. A thoroughly enjoyable day - would highly recommend.
Thanks to Wendy we had a lovely day creating our unique sun catchers. We learnt many new techniques and had great tuition for a new craft to us.
A really great, therapeutic day out!! A chance to learn something new and to create a souvenir to treasure!
Wendy was wonderful, patient and inspirational. We had a great introduction into techniques and plenty of practise cutting glass. I really enjoyed the relaxed, friendly atmosphere. I'm so pleased with what I achieved and loved the whole experience. I can't wait to see it on my wall at home.
Thank you so much Wendy!
Helen
It was a complete surprise to attend the workshop (birthday treat). Glorious location and great facilities. Wendy is a great and very patient tutor who really supports your ideas and helping you create a personal piece.
I would really recommend the day course as you will learn so much and have a piece of work to remember it. Wonderful x
Thank you so much for your patience and advice. I am really impressed with the course and the end result is something I will treasure. The Studio and facilities are perfect and the whole experience was brilliant, especially for a non-artistic person!
Wow! I have had a wonderful day and learnt a lot about Fused Glass. Wendy our tutor was very informative and patient! Loved every moment and would recommend the experience.
Did a half day workshop with Wendy which was thoroughly enjoyable. She is a good teacher - gentle guidance while letting us do our own thing creatively. Highly recommended.
Just did a one day course with Wendy. We were late as we got lost- this was not with Wendy’s instructions which were more accurate than our sat nav. I had a one to one session with Wendy as the other students had to drop out so I enjoyed learning about a more detailed look at fused glass techniques. It is a beginner’s guide to the craft and you are guided step by step by Wendy.
Wendy started at the beginning, having me break practice glass so I knew a range of different methods to break the glass, helped me with my design then helped me cut the glass according to the way it was designed, she showed me all the different options that I could use which is not only glass panels and she helped me put my design in the kiln. She was very patient with me as it took me a while to get to grips with the craft. She offered plenty of cups of tea, it was a lovely location and would definitely do another course with her. With your piece, you have the option of picking it up at her studio or getting it sent to you which cost £4.
A really great experience! and a very enjoyable introduction to working with glass. Definitely something I'd like to revisit. Clear informative instruction from Wendy in a very relaxed environment. Beautiful studio setting! Simply put - thank you very much Wendy :)
An amazing experience set in a tranquil studio. Wendy is all you could hope for in a teacher. My daughter and I had so much fun and created our own masterpieces.
Great day! Wendy made us feel very welcome. Brilliant information on everything. You can really feel her passion and love for this beautiful art work. Today has given me the push I need and re-ignited my love for art. Thank you so much.
It's been a fantastic day, learnt so much and really enjoyed making my own piece. Lots of lovely colours to choose from and great advice all the way. Thank you!
Really relaxing and enjoyable. Clear guidance but freedom to feel comfortable with my work. Just made me want to come back for more classes. Thank you Wendy, it's been a great day.
Firstly, thank you for your time and patience with us! I had a great day learning a new skill and thoroughly enjoyed it. Fingers crossed our artwork comes out of the kiln as good as it went in! After a blank mind at the start of the designing process, Wendy helped with some design ideas enabling my design to look much better!
I really recommend this full-day workshop, a chance for some real 'me' time away from the kids! Thank you!
Wow, what a lovely day! Everything was taught step-by-step so it was easy to pick up. There were loads of skills to learn, but we were supported through all the processes. I was amazed by my final piece of work - I was very proud of it. There was scope to make pretty much anything you wanted, so all our group had completely different designs which was lovely.
Wendy was a wonderful teacher - I had a brilliant day!
What a fabulous host, Wendy, so calm, patient and helpful. I can't believe how good our artwork has turned out for beginners. I can't wait to come back!
Great day - everything I hoped it would be. Wendy was knowledgable, enthusiastic and encouraging. Definitely recommend the day. Many thanks.
A fantastic day. Wendy was very happy to share her experience and knowledge to help give me confidence that I could design a piece. Very practical, but with a good eye on my health and safety - I had to be reminded a couple of times.
What a wonderful insight into the world of fused glass. Wendy, you made me feel welcome from the moment I arrived and gave me the confidence to create something I was proud of when it went into the kiln, so thank you. I would definitely recommend this to friends and will be back again to create some more stunning artwork.
My friend and I thoroughly enjoyed our one day fused glass workshop with Wendy.
Wendy was kind and very patient with us!
Great choice of projects we could do, and fantastic range of glass colours.
Wendy was an excellent teacher, and importantly we were both really pleased with what we managed to produce!
I enjoyed a great day with Wendy on this full day glass fusing workshop. The studio is lovely and bright, and there are so many different materials and beautiful glasses to use. Wendy is a brilliant teacher, we started from scratch as I was a complete beginner, but I quickly gained confidence and am so pleased with the final piece I produced. Would definitely recommend and look forward to returning soon. Thank you Wendy!

A really good day and productive! Wendy was very patient and helpful with lots of helpful suggestions.
* Enjoyed the creativity!
* Endless patience
* Great fun in group
* Looking forward to end result
Absolutely brilliant day and I am 1,000% hooked!! Wendy is a great teacher, with a huge amount of knowledge about glass and it's flexibility, flow and limits, but encourages you to push your boundaries as an Artist, which is amazing and hard to find on some courses. She allows you time/freedom to experiment but is always there to help and assist when needed.
I highly recommend this course!! Fantastic studio setting also ... love working to the sound of chickens ... makes me feel at home.

Lovely day learning an interesting new skill and the result was surprisingly good! Teaching was very thorough and encouraging and Studio is a great space. All very welcoming and professional while being relaxed and comfortable. Many thanks. Stuart.
Thank you very much for a relaxing, enjoyable and productive day! A lovely studio space, with an excellent range of tools and materials, plenty of inspiration and lots of friendly expert tuition and guidance from Wendy. Thanks again!
Fantastic selection of glass. Relaxed and enjoyable day.
A really enjoyable day. Lovely workspace, excellent selection of glass to use. Lots of advice given.
Lovely day, patient teacher relaxed atmosphere and lots of tea. Looking forward to seeing my masterpiece. Would definitely recommend this course to anyone interested.
I have thoroughly enjoyed this experience. Wendy's studio is light and airy, a very pleasant space to work in. Wendy is well organised and attentive. The day was well planned and carefully tailored to give an individual learning experience. You will just love the glorious colours of this beautiful medium.
A thoroughly enjoyable day, in a beautiful environment. Learnt a great deal. Really pleased with my finished piece. Wendy was a joy to spend the day with.
