Natalie and Liz reviewed: Pottery wheel throwing & glass fusing 1-day course

"We had a lovely day with Sarah and Chris. I booked it as a birthday present for my mum as she is interested in craft making and I thought this would be something she would enjoy. We made glass pendants and wall hangings in the morning with Sarah and then did pottery, throwing 3 pots each with Chris in the afternoon. It was great fun and we learnt a lot. We had never done either before and we managed to produce items that looked what they were supposed to so always a bonus! I would definitely recommend."

Sarah Greening Glass responded:

"It was great to meet you both and help you make your masterpieces! many thanks for leaving a review for us"

Karen Smith reviewed: Pottery throwing sessions on the potter's wheel in Norfolk

"Booked this for my daughter and I as her birthday treat - and it really was a treat for both of us! Pat is knowledgeable, patient and personable and under her expert guidance we both managed to produce pots! It required concentration and more effort ( but manageable!) than we had expected. The icing on the cake for me was discovering that we had both lived in the same place, travelled on the same bus to the same grammar school! We had a nice afternoon chatting and exploring memory lane! "

Pat Southwood responded:

"Thanks Karen, it was lovely to have you both in the studio, you both worked very hard and it was great to have a catch up from rather longer ago than I care to mention! :-) Pat. "

Hannah B reviewed: Stained glass taster day in Worcestershire

"I spent a wonderful day at Kingcot Gallery learning to make stained glass. Vicky ran a relaxed and friendly session with me and another student. The day was very informative. Vicky had some designs for us to select and was happy to work with us with some source inspiration to create our own simple designs. Vicky discussed the glass cutting techniques, using a jig, soldering, potential pitfalls and ways to elaborate on the craft further. At the end of the course both the other student and I were keen to take another course at Kingcot as soon as possible!"
