There is plenty of fun to be had playing with and arranging scraps of glass without cutting any glass at all! This makes is suitable for learners at different levels of ability to still enjoy working with glass. *Copperfoiling is a way of assembling differently coloured glass pieces, a technique used in the making tiffany lampshades. You will end the day with a vibrant piece of glass to hang or place in your window, and be uplifted by the wonderful coloured light it harnesses.

Alexia Passmore reviewed: Modern Calligraphy with Danielle Lummis at Cambridge Art Makers

"What a fabulous day. Danielle is a wonderful tutor, the pace of the course was just right, we received plenty of individual help when needed. I have never tried calligraphy before but now have enough knowledge and equipment (supplied on the day) to practice at home. Looking forward to the “flourishing” course next. Many thanks Danielle. "

Cambridge Art Makers responded:

"We're so glad you enjoyed the course. Happy practicing! "

Susie reviewed: Spoon carving with Bobby Spooner at Cambridge Art Makers

"Such a fun day! To start with it was challenging getting to grips with the different tools but we all got the hang of it and Olly was very encouraging and patient. I am thrilled with my spoon but I loved the process even more!"
