Sharon Thomas reviewed: Glass Bead Workshop (lampwork glass)

"I loved this course. I didn't quite know what to expect and had picked it just as something different to do that looked like fun - and it was amazing! Sarah is a brilliant teacher - helpful, patient and encouraging (and she's just lovely to talk to too). I was really impressed with the beads I created. Sarah explained every step very clearly and I tried a variety of different styles so I've ended up with some very colourful, beautiful and unique beads. Thanks so much Sarah - I'd definitely recommend this to anyone."

Penny reviewed: Handkerchief Tealight Bowl

"A really enjoyable 2 hours focusing on creating something that ended up looking amazing! It was so relaxing just talking to Charlotte about glass, glass techniques, life in general, and making my creation. This is the first time I have ever done anything like this and I was truly amazed when I collected my finished tealight holder. I am now a #glassaddict and have already book another session with fam."

Faye Broadway reviewed: Glass Bead Workshop (lampwork glass)

"As a birthday present to me, and a Christmas present from myself to my daughter, we celebrated in style with this course. Received a warm welcome from Sarah (plus the other ladies there) and a cuppa also. Sarah explained everything to us about how we would proceed and also the H&S aspects also. Everything was extremely well demonstrated and explained to us. The colour choices were fabulous. Sarah watched over us and guided us through. I would wholeheartedly recommend this to anyone. We were delighted to see the beads and can’t wait to show them off. We will book a session again to do some independent making (though I’m sure we will probably ask for lots more advice)! Honestly an amazing experience. "

"This was a great course, with friendly knowledgeable staff. There were lots of different options given about what to make, and it was great to learn new skills, like The Terminator - I'll be back!! "

Jane Meek reviewed: Fused Glass Coasters or Small Dish

"Absolutely loved doing this course. I was a bit apprehensive about going on my own and my lack of artistic ability. Jane put everyone at their ease by her humorous approach. Very informative on the instruction part and supportive when we were creating our glassware. I throughly enjoyed it and would like to attend another course in the future. Will recommend it to my friends."

"Charlotte was engaging and knowledgeable in her craft. I purchased as a gift for me and my partner and we weren't sure what to expect having never done anything like it but we thoroughly enjoyed it and can't wait to see our finished items once they've been in the furnace. We will definitely be back again!"

Anne reviewed: Crushed Glass Dish Workshop

"As a complete beginner and self declared as lacking creativity, I thoroughly enjoyed this work shop. Jane was very welcoming, knowledgeable and supportive. After taking us through the skills and tools we needed to complete our project, we had a varied selection of designs and glass colours to choose from. Jane was on hand to give as little or as much support and advice as needed. I really enjoyed seeing what the more experienced and creative people were doing too. Look forward to my dish arriving by post! "

Kathryn reviewed: 2 Hour Fused Glass Workshop with Glass Quarter Designs

"Honestly the most fun I’ve had in ages. Jane is so charismatic and witty, she had us in stitches the whole time. Fab balance between teaching a craft and giving the learner the freedom to express themselves. Jane demonstrated the techniques, then was on hand to help with any tricky bits. She welcomed our ideas and showed us various ways of achieving in glass what we had sketched on paper. She was very encouraging but not patronising and she really knows her craft. The course was fairly priced too. I have attended craft courses before which cost the earth and weren’t nearly as good as this one. There was no scrutiny over the amount of materials we were using to achieve our design which meant it was really relaxed and fun. I will definitely be visiting again. Thank you so much Jane. "

G Vose reviewed: Imprint Glass Fusing

"We had the most wonderful afternoon with Charlotte in the glass workshop. There was an excellent, very wide choice of options of things to make and of possible ways to create your piece with different materials and techniques once decided on. Charlotte’s tuition was excellent - clear instructions given in a friendly, encouraging way. The group size is only 6, allowing plenty of time and help for each participant. We had lots of laughs - plus mugs of tea and biscuits. Thank you Charlotte 🙂👍🌈"

"We all really enjoyed our afternoon with Charlotte. We were very glad we booked the 3 hour course, as once we got started we all had lots of ideas of things to make and didn't want the session to end. Charlotte was very helpful and encouraging. We can't wait to see how our items turn out after firing."

Tracy Passey reviewed: 2 Hour Fused Glass Workshop with Glass Quarter Designs

"I really enjoyed my morning with Jane at Glass Quarter Design. I wanted to learn about fused glass and Jane was really knowledgeable and nothing was too much trouble. I was shown lots of different techniques from cutting and smashing glass to drilling. I drew out my design and Jane guided me suggesting subtle colour changes and ideas. I could quite happily have stayed all day ? Really looking forward to collecting my finished, fired item next weekend. I will definitely be back to do another glass course soon. Thank-you!!"

Beth reviewed: Fused glass, crushed glass dish workshop, Stourbridge

"This course was amazing! It was my first attempt at doing anything to do with glass, I'd been wanting to try something for a while and it did not disappoint. Jane and her helper were amazing with teaching us about cutting glass, giving advice and making us all feel relaxed and creative so that we could make something unique. Brilliant day. The studio was amazing and in a brilliant location, with lots of other arty shops and studios to look around afterwards. Will definitely be going back and would highly recommend!"
