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

"Absolutely perfect course. Dawn is very warm-hearted & friendly, highly inspirational and very encouraging. I’d never done glass fusion at all and ended the course feeling knowledgeable about this beautiful art form. Very jolly atmosphere with others doing this too. For those of us in bill-paying, often grey & grim corporate jobs, with little outlet for expression or colour, this is highly recommended. It (really) lifts your heart and soul! I’ll be back! 🤗"

Dawn Turner Designs responded:

"Thank you for your lovely review Vickie, it lifts my spirits to know that it made you so happy! I am so pleased that the group got on well, it makes all the difference I can’t wait to see what you all made, everybody created beautiful pieces"

Yvonne reviewed: Glass Artist's Studio Experience Day - Fusing (Open group)

"This course was a small and personal course of only four students which allowed a lot of time for each of us to have interaction time with Dawn and our co-students. A great day to learn about and experience handling glass, glass cutting and producing a number of pieces using different methods. It was very enjoyable and relaxing. It was an experience to be repeated. "

Dawn Turner Designs responded:

"Ah. Thank you so much, it was a pleasure to welcome you to the studio and it was very enjoyable to share my knowledge with you. Welcome back, any time for more glass fun! Dawn "

Jan Dingley reviewed: Glass Artist's Studio Experience Day - Fusing (Open group)

"I spent an amazing day with Dawn at her workshop. Her introductory talk about glass reflected her extensive knowledge and set the scene for the practical activities. Before and after lunch we were able to cut, prepare, design and assemble various glass articles. Dawn was always available to answer questions and give advice. A thoroughly enjoyable day -- now need to see how it comes out of the kiln!! "

Dawn Turner Designs responded:

"Thank you Jan, so glad you enjoyed the day - work is already in for it’s first firing, and I can’t wait to see what you all made! Dawn x "

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

"My daughter participated in this course and thoroughly enjoyed it. Dawn was knowledgeable and passionate, explaining everything clearly. The items you make are high end and something you will absolutely want to display. My daughter is Autistic and struggles to speak when uncomfortable, but Dawn's warmth enabled her to engage fully. Highly recommended. "

Dawn Turner Designs responded:

"Thank you for this review. It means such a lot to me, that your daughter felt comfortable at the studio, with both myself and the other participants. I loved what she made, and hope she's pleased with the results - look forward to seeing you again soon x"

"Absolutely loved Dawn’s pick and mix glass fusion taster which had lots of choice. Went with a friend and had such a great time.

David Smith reviewed: Glass Artist's Studio Experience Day - Fusing (Open group)

"We received a warm welcome from Dawn who is an easy person to get on with. She is accommodating where possible and has numerous samples and ideas for those of us attending but not knowing what to expect. I am not particularly arty but was able to produce somethings that will hopefully look good once it has been fired. My wife and adult daughter also enjoyed our day and we hope to attend once again to try something else now we are more aware of what is achievable. "

Dawn Turner Designs responded:

"Hi Dave, it was a pleasure to welcome you and your lovely family to the studio, I had a thoroughly enjoyable and amusing day (despite the heat!) I can't wait to see all of your creations when they're fired, and thank you all for embracing the unknown! Dawn "
