Amy reviewed: Fused Glass Easter Eggs

"What an excellent course! With a wide range of materials, beautiful examples for inspiration and expert advice from Diane, we were able to create our own stunning floral Easter eggs which we can keep up all year round. I bought this course as a gift for my mum for Christmas and we had a fabulous two hours of crafting which just flew by! Diane was generous with time and offered that we could stay as long as needed to complete our pieces. Quality time spent with mum and a lovely opportunity to meet Diane and Andy who helped guide us. Hosted by very friendly and welcoming people who just loved to share their passion for arts and crafts. With a wide range of gorgeous pieces to buy from the store, we didn't leave empty handed either as the bird boxes and glass pieces were too lovely to leave behind and great value for money. Thank you for a fabulous day- I can't wait to collect the finished pieces once they've finished fusing in the kiln! We'll definitely be coming back for more courses- glass or other otherwise! "

Crafty Diane Gift Shop, Art Gallery and Craft workshops responded:

"Thanks Amy for the stunning review. Your eggs cooked beautifully last night and will be ready to collect from Thursday. Let me know when you are calling if you can. We both enjoyed meeting yourself and your mum and look forward to seeing you again soon. X"

Margaret Walton reviewed: Fused glass lanterns Large )

"This was my first adventure with fused glass! Diane was great. Very helpful and on hand to answer any questions. She explained the process and the different kinds of glass to help get me started. I created 4 glass panels for a lantern. I was really pleased with my endeavours! There was lots of colours and options to choose from for the creations. I left them with Diane to put through the kiln process, and I will return to pick them up in a few days. It was a very enjoyable few hours of creativity spent in the company of other crafters and in a lovely creative space. Thank you Crafty Diane. "

Crafty Diane Gift Shop, Art Gallery and Craft workshops responded:

"Hi Margaret , Thank you so much for the lovely review. So glad you like my place too. Your lantern is all fired and ready to collect when you can get here. Crafty Diane x "

Janet Tai reviewed: Fused glass art for the garden

"Had a wonderful day with Diane in the Fused Glass workshop. Diane is easy going and offers plenty of encouragement and ideas. I was delighted with the artwork that I made for the garden. You don’t need to be arty to produce something original and eye catching. It’s a wonderful place to come with friends to chat and craft. Would like to come back and make some Christmas gifts. There’s a great cafe on the site and Diane’s shop is full of original art work and gifts. Thanks Diane"

Crafty Diane Gift Shop, Art Gallery and Craft workshops responded:

"Thanks Janet. You did really well and you are “arty” ;) Look forward to seeing you for a Christmas workshop x"

"My nephew and I had a great time on this course. The instructions were clear and support was always on hand. The hosts were very hospitable and Diane was very knowledgeable about all kinds of glass art. We were complete beginners to fused glass, but we both produced a lantern to be proud of. Thank you to Crafty Diane!"
