Denise reviewed: Pick & Mix Glass Fusing Taster Sessions

"Attended a taster glass fusion course with my 9 year old granddaughter. Dawn was extremely knowledgeable and whilst she gave us lots of ideas and tips she also let us use our own imagination and creativity. Absolutely loved the session and would highly recommend."

Dawn Turner Designs responded:

"So glad you loved the session; you and your grand-daughter were a delight to welcome to the studio, lots of creativity! I love to see what children do. Work is in for its first firing, I am looking forward to seeing all the work finished. "

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

"Had a great day. Learnt some new ideas. Dawn is very friendly and knowledgeable. Teaches in an easy to understand way. Would recommend."

Dawn Turner Designs responded:

"Aw, thank you so much Stephen, that's very lovely of you to say. As my classes are usually aimed at total beginners with no experience, it's always slightly unnerving when someone comes to the studio who has already done glass fusing to some degree - so I am extra pleased that you still felt that you learned something, and I've got a tip from you too, I'll be getting me some paint-brushes! "

Dawn Turner Designs responded:

"Thank you Sally, so pleased you enjoyed your day - thank you for embracing the whole process and being willing to give something new a go. I can't wait to see your finished pieces, loved your ideas (I might have to borrow that cat paperweight, lol)"

Chris Browning reviewed: Glass Artist's Studio Experience Day - Fusing (Open)

"As a family of four, we spent the day with Dawn at her workshopand had a fantastic time. The variety of pieces Dawn showed us how to make in the time was quite phenomenal. Freestanding waves, dishes, baskets, coasters, a pendant, hanging pieces..... The day was a present from my family for my 50th birthday and it was a real treat. I'm sure it's suitable for most ages, my sons are 17 & 19 and we all enjoyed the day and meeting the lovely Dawn."
