Jane reviewed: Pick & Mix Glass Fusing Taster Sessions (Open Group)

"Oh wow I had a fantastic experience with Dawn, she was very patient explaining how to work with the glass and I was extremely happy with everything I made. I’d certainly recommend this course to anyone. I enjoyed it so much I booked another session with my sisters and we created some lovely glass pieces we were all very proud of. Thank you Dawn we will be booking another session in 2026. "

"Will be lovely to see you again, Jane, you all created beautiful pieces, and you’re welcome back any time! Dawn "

Sue B reviewed: Pick & Mix Glass Fusing Taster Session (Private Booking)

"Had a lovely morning doing glass fusing for the first time. Dawn was very informative firstly explaining about the different types of glass and how it works. She then did a demonstration and showed us a variety of glass ideas before we were able to make our own creations. Can't wait to see the results when they have been fired and look forward to doing another session. Would highly recommend. "

Dawn Turner Designs responded:

"Thank you for your review, Sue, is was lovely to meet you all and welcome you to the studio - you all made some beautiful work! I will be in touch soon to let you know when they’re finished. "

Elaine Briggs reviewed: Glass Artist's Studio Experience Day - Fusing (Private Booking)

"Had a great day with Dawn. We learned how to cut glass safely. Different methods for different types of glass. Practicing on window glass and made something from the bits we cut. Then in the afternoon we moved onto coloured glass and the different methods and techniques of fusing to get different pieces, textures and finishes. Using frit of different sizes and colours to create a couple of decorative items. Can’t wait to see how they come out of the kiln. Just a couple of weeks to wait for it all to be fired. Well worth doing if you have an interest in glasswork Word of warning in colder months it can get quite chilly in the workshop so take lots of layers to keep warm. "

Dawn Turner Designs responded:

"Hi Elaine, thank you for your review - and indeed, it can be cold! It was great to meet you and your lovely family. You were all enthusiastic, open and willing, and I had a great day working with you all - I will be in touch as soon as everything is ready - thank you again for a lovely day. "
