Linda reviewed: Glass in Concrete for Beginners

"I cannot rate this course highly enough. A thoroughly enjoyable time with Ruth learning a new way to work with glass. Ruth is a very welcoming, encouraging, supportive teacher. As well as creating something I am really pleased with, spending time with Ruth was a joy. The time goes really quickly. I can't wait to pick up my stepping stone and show it off!! I hope you book a course and enjoy spending time with Ruth creating something you're proud of too."

KelZig responded:

"It was a wonderful day. Amazing conversation and time to zone out from the outside world. You also made a really amazing stepping stone. Definitely going onto the Instagram wall as a showpiece! Thank you for the lovely review and I hope to see you again next time you're in our neck of the woods."

"This was a really enjoyable session. Great to try something new, under the expert guidance of great tutor. Also really enjoyed the chats that we had whilst creating. Would definitely recommend this session, looking forward to trying out some more in the future. Thanks."

KelZig responded:

"It really is such fun, when the conversation, the joy of making something new and the sense of achievement come together. I look forward to seeing you back and I’m thinking of setting up some term time weekend classes too. I enjoyed your delivering your class immensely."

Ruth Kelsey reviewed: Glass in Concrete for Beginners

"Had the most amazing time with Ruth and Carol (my fellow attendee). It was such fun to learn a new skill. Ruth was so helpful and encouraging and really made the session one to remember! There really is something therapeutic about making things by hand. What can be better than spending time with lovely people learning something new. The time went by far too quickly and cannot wait to get back and try something else ❤️"

KelZig responded:

"Over the years I have discovered that an informal joyful environment works best for most attendees. Mix that with such joyful attendees and that sense of achievement extrapolates. It was really great fun having you with us and the relaxed conversation was fab. Definitely hope to see you soon!"

Carol reviewed: Glass in Concrete for Beginners

"This course was amazing on every level, Ruth is an excellent host and a great teacher, it was a fantastic way to spend a morning. I learned a new skill, and was so immersed I didn't notice the time, can't wait to go back and try another course."

KelZig responded:

"Carol, you blew my mind. While the idea is to give the attendees a great time, I really had fun too. I cannot wait to see you at a follow up course or one of the other courses. Working in small groups is so rewarding and as a single sex group it was simply amazing. Remember slower setting concrete is better!"
