I have never met such an inspiring teacher. There is nothing Jennifer doesn't know about glass fusing and creating beautiful artwork. Jennifer is a wonderful teacher who brings out the best in all of her students... even the lesser talented ones, like me and my husband! A truly creative and indulgent day where we all learnt so much and came away hungry for more of Jennifers time. Amazing experience. We will be back.

This is a wonderful course with an equally wonderful teacher.
If you are thinking of doing it - book now!
Jen is a delight and knows EVERYTHING about glass/ kilns the lot. She is also completely lovely.
Fun, informative and crafty. What's not to like?

I have recently been on a course in Frodsham in Cheshire and had a wonderful course. I loved the results and the teaching so much , I've booked another course immediately. The teacher has a brilliant structure to the course. She has an easy going manner that makes you immediately feel at ease , yet effortlessly took us all through the process of working with glass and inspired us all to make the most wonderful pieces. I don't know how she did it! I don't consider myself to be very good at art, although I love creating! However Jennifer made it so inspiring I feel we just all responded to her inspiring approach. An amazing experience. I can't wait to do the next one. I have mentioned Cheshire School of glass to Wilmslow WI as I think they would love to do it in groups.

I recently did a 2 day stained glass workshop tutored by Steph Brown. It was a wonderful experience and I thoroughly enjoyed learning the basic techniques for stained glass projects. Steph is an excellent tutor and has amazing patience (which she certainly needed with me!) Her gentle approach gives you the confidence to learn , and I was able to produce a panel that I'm really proud of and can't wait to do more. The course is based in a lovely setting and we all got well looked after with drinks, lunch and sweets! As you go through the course, you realise what good value for money it is, and as there is only 4 of you, you get lots of individual attention. Thanks again, Steph ( and Jenny).

Jenny taught us all so much in 2 days. A wonderful experience and we all learnt so much. I had been on a basic fusing course prior to this one and would recommend both highly to anyone interested in learning kiln- based glass skills to anyone.

This was the best crafts course I have been on and I've been on quite a few over the years. Jenny has a lovely studio on a farm with great facilities. We were all welcomed ( there were 4 of us ) , with coffee and cake and given a really good introduction talk that explained the process of glass fusing. The day went far too quickly, it was a wonderful mix of creativity, good company and learning new many skills.
I collected my pieces the next day and couldn't believe how wonderful everything was that came out. Everyone made 3 big wall panels - you can have them framed by Jenny in the week - which I did order, for my favourite piece and it looked really good!

A well put together course that anyone would enjoy who likes being creative. You don't have to have worked in glass before to do this course, there was a mix of people on the course from beginners to people who had kilns. Jenny , the teacher catered for all levels with ease. Wonderful results in a lovely setting. All materials and refreshments included. I will go back and do more courses. It was good value for money I think.

I am a Secondary school teacher in school in Staffordshire. I came with a specific plan to learn how to use kilns , prgramme them, teach pupils glass techniques safely and find out costs of materials and where to purchase them.
This course exceeded my expectations. Money well spent with an exceedingly knowledgable teacher. a wonderful day.

I just have just completed the two day ‘stained glass’ course at Cheshire school of glass.
What an amazing, thoroughly enjoyable experience. Steph the course tutor was simply awesome, she give us all the confidence to attempt and succeed at challenging stain glass projects.
She has extensive knowledge, skill and expertise, but the patient way she demonstrates and helps you is her greatest asset.
Definitely the very best training course I’ve ever attended.....
Can’t wait to try some glass projects at home:-)

I recently did a one day fused glass for beginners and it was a brilliant experience. There were 4 of us on the course and we had an introductory talk and then on to the practical part of the day. Jen was a fantastic teacher, sharing her wisdom and experience yet allowing us to be creative. I was apprehensive beforehand being a complete beginner but Jen has an easy going manner which put everyone at ease. I was delighted with the whole day and would thoroughly recommend it.

Having done a course for beginners, I wanted to learn more. The two day intermediate course was ideal. It provided me with a good mix of technical information and practical work, as well as allowing some time for homework and reflection. I was introduced to a number of techniques including complex glass cutting, casting, sand blasting, metal inclusions, silver stain and enamel work. Jenny is very enthusiastic and she made sure that I was able to carry out my designs. I came away with, what I think, are some fine pieces and desire to continue my glass explorations. The atmosphere in the studio was great and I was sorry to leave. Big thanks to Jenny and Steph for all their support!

I didn't know what to expect but Jenny held my hand and guided me through so many possibilities in making glass designs. this course was an inspirational gift from my husband and what a brilliant choice it was. Loved every minute. Jenny I shall be back! Marge.

We have just completed a two day fused glass course and i can highly recommend Jennie and her teaching skills,she is so generous with her time and patience we had a great time and learned so much. We left with some beautiful pieces and we will be back . My love is painting and to do landscapes in glass was a real thrill thank you Jennie you rock x
Maria Winspear - - #18973
Myself and a friend have just spent two days with Jenny doing landscapes, and a few other projects - Jenny was Absolutely Fantastic - What a warm, friendly and giving person
I can't draw even a stick person, but Jenny made it all so easy, and i finished up amazed with my finished projects, so much that my friend and I are now saving up to go on our next workshop later in the year x
If you don't fancy a landscape, just speak to Jenny as she is so open to any ideas, and has the knowledge to make it happen x

My 18 year old daughter has just been on a one to one course with Jenny at the cheshire school of glass. She had a wonderful time designing and making. Jenny has taught at Art colleges for many years so understands the creative education system and is great with teenagers. Sophie is doing her A-levels at the moment , she benefited so much from Jenny teaching her we have booked another day. The course was catered specifically with Sophie's A-level project in mind so the work can be affiliated in to her course work. A brilliant experience. Sophie came away buzzing with enthusiasm.

My husband booked the Glass for the Garden course for me for my birthday. It was a fantastic day. I made lots of high end stunning garden pieces that I designed myself with Jennifer's help. I was thrilled with results. Jennifer is a lovely teacher with a lot of skill and advice. The best birthday present I've had.

This was an excellent experience. I would go again. I have a kiln already and work with glass, but Jennifer taught me so much. I can't say enough good thing about the teaching and whole experience. As other reviews have said... well worth the money.

I had a wonderful day with Steph at The Cheshire school of Glass. This course was excellent and Steph is a great teacher. She is very encouraging and patient. I would highly recommend this course to anyone. The studio has a lovely barn conversion warmth about it, which was a pleasure to work in.
Karen Brooke - - #18671
The two days went so quickly doing this course. I learnt so much in such a short space of time. I would highly recommend doing this course to anyone before considering getting a kiln of their own. I have done both the basic fusing and intermediate ( with a discount of 10% after completion of one course). Great facilities and a brilliant teacher.
Lynda Gibbs - - #18672
Two days of excellent teaching pushed all of us beyond expectations: individual advice was very helpful and thorough. I have never learnt to do something to such a professional level before. Jenny taught us all some brilliant tricks to create incredible work. Our results were phenomenal.
