"Really, really enjoyed this course. Never done glass fusing before and Helen was an excellent teacher. Made lots of different things and the others on the course were so friendly too. Will definitely try and book to go again. Thank you for an enjoyable day of creativity."

Butterfly Effect Studio responded:

"Hi Tina & Helen, I so enjoyed meeting you both at the weekend and am thrilled you enjoyed the day. I often have such friendly groups of people on my courses ( I do think ‘creatives’ are a friendly bunch anyway!) I’ll be firing your jewellery shortly and the larger pieces should go into the kiln by the weekend for their first firing, can’t wait to see the results, they looked impressive even in their ‘raw’ state so I have high hopes👍🏻I really appreciate you taking the time to write a positive review and I hope to see you both at some point next year.🦋🙏🏻"

"I had a wonderful day on this course, which was a birthday present. Helen had even laid on birthday decorations and a cake! I’m not particularly artistic but was able to draw a lot of inspiration from Helen’s work and the pieces that the other attendees were creating. I learnt loads and managed to produce coasters and sun catchers that I’m really proud of. Helen’s a great teacher and has some really good advice."

Butterfly Effect Studio responded:

"It was the first time I have ever tried fused glass. I was very nervous when I went into the class but Helen immediately put me at my ease and clearly explained the process. Helen had brought items to show the finished products and encouraged us to experiment with all the lovely coloured glass she had brought along. She was available at each stage and gave me confidence. It was a lovely workshop - only 8 of us so individual attention. The pieces we had created were taken off by Helen for firing and were delivered a few days later - wonderful! So exciting to see the pieces. I will definitely be booking on another course!!!"
