"My daughter and I attended an introduction to glass fusion course with Wendy in her beautiful studio. The studio has a wonderful setting, but is also spacious and really well organised with lovely examples of glass work displayed. Wendy has a warm personality and a generous nature, but also, very importantly, she is an excellent teacher. She is very thorough and we felt very safe with regard to Covid and also the use of equipment and methods of working. Once we had learned the technique of cutting glass, both in straight and curved lines we were given ideas to inspire us for our own piece of work. I think we were probably both quite ambitious in what we tried to do and it was lovely to have this freedom to have a go! Wendy explains things so well and is really encouraging too. We had such an enjoyable day! It was fun, relaxing and inspiring to be in such a lovely setting. Thank you Wendy for your expertise, generosity of time and materials. I thoroughly recommend this course and I hope to return."

"What an absolute joy the course was. My daughter and I have been to Wendy's a few times now and always come away happy. Our pieces are on display in our homes and looking at them is a reminder of enjoyable times. Wendy is so patient and provides ideas when 'brain freeze' occurs; we absolutely recommend spending time with Wendy at her lovely studio. Jane W and Sarah W"

"OMG, I did not know what to expect, and was a bit apprehensive, as I have never worked in this medium. I should not have worried, Wendy talked me through the safety procedures, and then demonstrated how to cut straight edges, and then onto onto curves, I also had a 'go' at grinding edges of glass. Looking through her extensive collections of photos, gave me the idea for my piece of wall handing, drawing it first, and then onto cutting the many colours of glass that i chose to use. Wendy was attentive, but let me work at my own pace. I was absolutely thrilled with the piece I carefully placed in the kiln, I cannot wait for the finished piece to arrive. Thank you Wendy for such an enjoyable day, I feel i learnt a lot in a relaxing, and beautiful studio with a first class tutor."

We were made very welcome and a cup of tea always available. We made a lovely piece of fused glass to be treasured. I would recommend Wendy and her classes to anyone and will certainly be returning at a later date."

"I have now completed two sessions with Wendy. She is a fantastic, patient teacher for any level of expertise. Her lovely workshop is very organised and it is easy to find anything you may need. She also has lots of pictures of work from previous students for inspiration. She is very enthusiastic about her students work. Everything was very safe in the current times with plenty of precautions due to covid. I'll be back."

"A really lovely, creative and productive day. As a TOTAL novice I was apprehensive at first but Wendy is an excellent teacher and I was able to produce an interesting piece of work (hopefully!). Wendy is a very welcoming and encouraging tutor and her studio is a fantastic workspace; spacious, clean and very organised. She adhered to all the Covid Protocols and it was lovely to be able to have such an experience and learn a new skill after such strange times. Thank you Wendy :)"

"Had a most enjoyable day with Wendy learning how to fuse glass. As a complete novice Wendy clearly explained all the necessary techniques and we had plenty of time to practice before we designed our own pieces. Lots of beautiful colours to choose from. Can't wait to see my finished item once it has been fired."

"My daughter and I really enjoyed our day at Wendy’s lovely workshop. Although complete novices when we started, under Wendy’s patient guidance and tutoring, we were delighted at what we were able to achieve by the end of the day. I would thoroughly recommend this course to anyone who has never worked with glass before. We look forward to seeing our finished pieces."

"The glass workshop was bought as a Christmas present for me which got delayed because of various lockdowns. However when I attended at the end of April I thoroughly enjoyed it. Wendy was very patient showing me how to score and cut the glass and showed me what could be created with all the various glass etc. When I came away I decided there and then that I would love to attend another class which has been booked. Wendy was so welcoming and explained the technique so well which made the overall experience a very enjoyable one. I would definitely recommend these classes. Excellent!"

Glory of Glass responded:

"Thank you for your review - looking forward to seeing you again in July."

"My second workshop with Wendy, who is a patient and knowledgeable tutor. She helped guide me to create a glass panel to match the one I’d made previously. Sensible and thorough Covid-19 precautions maintained throughout the day so I felt comfortable working at her Bere Alston workshop. Thanks, Wendy!"

"Just enjoyed a lovely day with Wendy, my first time working with glass. Pre-course organisation was good, and attention to being Covid-safe was excellent. Wendy was a clear and patient tutor helping me to refine and realise my initial idea... I'm very much looking forward to seeing the final version once it's been fired."

"I brought my Granddaughter as a treat for her birthday. What a fabulous bonding day for the both of us. Wendy explained everything very clearly from beginning to end and had immense patience. Learning to cut glass I found quite frightening to start with, however Wendy inspires confidence and we soon thoroughly enjoyed cutting different size pieces. Creating our own wall hanging was immense fun. A thoroughly enjoyable day."

"A most comprehensive day of tuition, help and encouragement. Relaxed, genuine enthusiasm and interest enabled a positive experience. A lovely day. Even if you think you know how to do some aspects and are aware of things - skills take time, allow even more - especially if like me you talk a lot. Most enjoyable, thank you."
