Linda T reviewed: Glass heat fused with 24ct Gold and Silver to create a uniquely beautiful artwork

"I’ve recently done this master class course. It was absolutely brilliant. Joy is a kind, talented and patient teacher and generously shared her years of experience so I could create one of these gorgeous glass pieces. This is a truly immersive course, and along with Joy’s excellent tutoring it left me feeling really confident to try new courses. Whether you are new to this art or a professional this course is an absolute must you won’t be disappointed "

Greenhalgh Glass responded:

"Thank you for your kind review Linda. It was a true pleasure to spend the day with you, showing the way. You put your heart and soul into the day, and this shines through in the beautiful artwork you both designed and created. The lovely dragonfly theme you chose compliments the shimmering effects of the gold and silver used in the making . process. I am so glad you enjoyed the day."

"Two of us went on the three hour Christmas decorations course last Monday, it was a great morning in a lovely relaxing setting and Joy was brilliant at teaching and advising the seven of us who were there. I collected our decorations yesterday and my family are very impressed!"

"We made to feel welcome the moment we arrived. The method to fuse glass is very interesting; and it was very easy to get totally absorbed making the pieces, even for those like myself who are not very creative! Go with a few friends as a group for a good natter and some friendly competitiveness!"

"So good I did it twice! Really good and you get an attractive piece of art you have created at the end of it. Christmas decoration making was great. I hope to return and do a half day course. Highly recommended."

"I went with a group of friends and spend a great morning making Christmas decorations (and eating biscuits). Lots of fun, and even though I'm not particularly crafty we managed to make some excellent decorations for the tree."

"The fused glass workshop I attended recently was a fascinating and totally absorbing experience. Joy's teaching was excellent and the atmosphere very relaxed, with plenty of encouragement and technical guidance. I now know that fused glass is a lovely material to work with and I will certainly be returning and recommending the course to others."

"I went to Joy's "taster" workshop recently, and found it a very rewarding experience. Cauldwell Mills, and Joy's studio are very interesting, and worth a visit. Her work is simply stunning and gives you an insight into the depth of her knowledge. The morning session began with coffee and an informal chat. Joy then explained everything clearly and gave us the confidence to start our project. We made a plaque using a superb selection of coloured glass particles. She carefully explained how each colour may work on our plaque but also made us feel confident, and keen to have a go. She was constantly available while giving us the opportunity to enjoy experimenting. I would certainly recommend this course to anyone wanting to try out a new skill and learn more about the art of making beautiful artifacts in glass. Joy certainly lives up to her name!"

"I went to a "taster" workshop session at Greenhalgh Glass studio at Caudwell Mills. The Mill is tucked away in beautiful countryside in Rowsley village in a complex of art and craft businesses all worth a visit. The session was introduced by Joy Greenhalgh who is simply a brilliant teacher combining a profound knowledge of her subject with the ability to present the essentials to novices like me with a light touch and gentle good humour. After a short introduction a group of us set to work creating a design of our own choosing on a piece of glass. You can either work from a template or freestyle. Joy gave advice as required and was supportive and encouraging throughout the session. The coffee and chat flowed and at the end of it I finished up with something that I can hang on my wall. A very happy and rewarding experience. I shall be going back."
