Mary Brown reviewed: Lantern Making with Fused Glass

"Wendy was friendly, welcoming and a great teacher. The course is held in a beautiful location overlooking the river Tamar. My Daughter and I had a wonderfully creative time and cannot wait to see the finished product after the glass has been in the kiln and fitted to the lantern. I cannot think of a better way to spend a morning"

"The glass course was a 50th birthday present for my wife and we loved it. The workshop is in a fabulous setting looking over the river, has plenty of space and all the materials necessary. Wendy was fab, with some great ideas and examples of previous work from which to gain inspiration. We made glass candle curves which Wendy was happy to arrange delivery upon completion. It was an extremely cold day, but Wendy provided plenty of hot drinks and biscuits to keep us going. All in all a great morning, thoroughly recommend it. "

"A wonderful day and experience. The Studio was in a stunning location. Wendy was a really great teacher. We had not attempted anything like this before and she was patient and informative with us. We made some lovely things which we would not have thought we would be able to produce on our first try in a day. Would highly recommend this course. "

"A group of us booked a day at the fused glass workshop. None of us had done fused glass before. We had a lovely day. Wendy is an excellent teacher and talented craftworker. She has some beautiful work on display at the glassworks. By the end of the day, the four of us had each made very different wall hangings. Wendy has a well equipped workshop and was a very patient tutor. We had an interesting, fun and friendly session. Would definitely recommend it."

"Lovely meditative morning creating glass designs ready to be fired and fit into the lantern. Wendy was really knowledgeable and helpful when it came to applying the finishing touches before it went in the kiln. Can't wait to pick it up in 2 weeks."

Penny Scutter reviewed: Fused Glass Candle Curve

"Thank you for a very special day, from finding the studio in its tranquil location, to meeting Wendy, spending the morning with a very talented tutor who was willing to share the techniques of her craft she had with you to achieve your very own work of art. A thoroughly enjoyable day, cannot wait to see the finished piece after the magic of the kiln has done its job and brought the colours alive. A day to treasure, felt so comfortable and relaxed, a real tonic for a little bit of time for one's self. Cannot recommend this course highly enough....book yourself a course..... Thank you Wendy....until the next time....regards Penny"

Alison & Ruth reviewed: Lantern Making with Fused Glass

"My daughter and I did a half-day lantern-making workshop with Wendy and had a real blast. I've done this workshop before and was thrilled to have another go to try and improve my technique. It was my daughter's first try at fused glass work but as an illustrator she had a grand idea and pulled it off under Wendy's guidance and tuition. Wendy is always so patient and helpful which results in lovely finished pieces for everyone. The studio is in such a wonderful setting, you can't fail to feel 'restored' after a visit and the fact that you come away with something you've made yourself (even though you wait for a couple of weeks for it to be fired - that helps build the excitement!) just adds to your sense of well-being and achievement. I can't recommend Wendy's workshops highly enough - they are a tonic for the soul!"
