The lunch was delicious with homemade soups, bread and cakes. These lovely ladies made us very welcome and we’re excited to see the finished pieces on collection in a few weeks. A great day of learning new skills, meeting other crafters and having fun. Treat yourselves to a new experience. Thank you Jean and Janice from Lesley and Karen "

Jane reviewed: Glass Fusing and Slumping for Beginners and Improvers

"After a brief safety talk we were shown 4 different methods of fusing glass followed by time to try out all four under supervision and assistance of our lovely hosts Janice and Jean. This was followed by wonderful homemade soup( choice of 3 ) and muffins out in the summer sunshine. Then the hard work began ,deciding what we wanted to make ,there were plenty of ideas and shapes of glassware to hand and J & J there to advise if we needed help.I managed to make two more things. Such a great day ,can't wait to see my finished items after their double firings .Thanks again Jean & Janice"

Nessy reviewed: Glass Fusing and Slumping for Beginners and Improvers

"Janice & Jean are wonderful teachers and the environment is excellent. We were taught 4 different techniques and then had the opportunity after a delicious homemade lunch to use the techniques we had learned earlier to create larger pieces. Would definitely recommend this course and hope to return in the near future"

Sally Ann Wiles reviewed: Glass Fusing and Slumping for Beginners and Improvers

"I had such a lovely day with the small group of people and two friendly and approachable tutors, nothing was too much trouble for them and they listened to my ideas and told me how to achieve them. I'd highly recommend this course, I'd never worked with glass before so was a bit apprehensive but was soon put at ease by everyone. The homemade lunch was delicious too."

Alison Maguire reviewed: Glass Fusing and Slumping for Beginners and Improvers

"Many thanks to you, Jean and Janice for a fabulous experience at my first fused glass workshop. It was a treat for our friend Jane's 'special' birthday as you know, but we all had a super time. You were both very patient with us all, clear with your instructions and tuition and you never made us feel rushed. Although we were concentrating hard, ensuring we were taking everything in, the time just flew by, which is always a good sign that you are enjoying yourself. The lunch was delicious and we all went back for more!! Thankfully we didn't have any breakages and we are all happy with our creations. Many thanks again Alison x"

JJ Fused Glass responded:

"Thank you Alison, for this generous review. It was a pleasure to meet you all and help to celebrate Jane’s birthday. I’m sorry I couldn’t be there when you collected your work, but we are both really pleased you enjoyed the day and are happy with your art work."

Berni Ashworth reviewed: Glass Fusing and Slumping for Beginners and Improvers

"Went back for my third session today and again absolutely loved it. Drinks and biscuits on arrival and chance for a quick chat with the group then on to the day's fun. After a cutting refresher making two snowflake hanging decorations, it was time to decide on the morning's project. Lots of helpful ideas and explanations on how to put my ideas onto paper to plan them tips along the way. Then a yummy homemade lunch then more time for another piece. Again a great day with fabulous teachers and a lovely group. Everyone made such lovely pieces, I can’t wait for the updates on them going in the kilns. See you when we pick the finished creations up then booking next workshop. Would recommend to anyone wanting to have a go. You will be amazed at what you can learn and create even on your first day. Thanks Janice and Jean and see you soon x"

"Another amazing class last week. Janice and Jean are wonderful teachers who have the ability to cater for different people with varying skill sets with ease. Great fun day. I even managed to incorporate some of my own personal craft stamps into my designs. Can't wait to see how they come out. Would definitely recommend this class to anyone who is thinking about having a go. Already booked my next class and am already thinking about what I want to do."

Berni Ashworth reviewed: Glass Fusing and Slumping for Beginners and Improvers

"A fabulous day practising skills learnt last time and plenty of encouragement to make pieces that I thought were above my skill level. Good clear instructions, reminders when needed, lots of pieces around for inspiration and lunch in the garden. A perfect day of crafting. Eagerly awaiting collection day and next course is already booked. Thanks Jean and Janice, I had a great day x"

Julie Norris reviewed: Glass Fusing and Slumping for Beginners and Improvers

"Just arrived home after my second time with Jean and Janet. The tutors are both friendly and professional and have a wealth of knowledge, the teacher to student ratio is a maximum of 1:4 so there is always help available! I learnt some skills in the morning and completed 4 coasters, each using a different method, and in the afternoon, I completed a fruit bowl and a wall plaque. The lunch was superb !! A choice of 2 home made soups, with a choice of home made bread, and a selection of cakes. I am looking forward to returning to pick up my pieces, and will definitely be booking to come again . I recommend this workshop to everyone - you won’t be disappointed !"

JJ Fused Glass responded:

"Thank you Julie for your kind review. It was good to see you again. We’re pleased you enjoyed your second visit and hope it helped to cement some of the techniques involved. We are always as excited as you to see the results of your labours. Kind regards Janice"

Linda Duckworth reviewed: Glass Fusing and Slumping for Beginners and Improvers

"A very enjoyable day as a beginner. The time just flew by with Jean and Janice providing their expertise, help and guidance whilst letting the students do their own thing. Learned numerous techniques in the morning which you could put into practice with your own ideas in the afternoon. Lunch in the garden was lovely. Had a laugh trying to test the tin in the cupboard ?. Maximum of 8 on the course so the tutors can provide as much time as you need. Will be returning."

JJ Fused Glass responded:

"Many thanks for your review Linda. We’re pleased you enjoyed the day and the way we teach. It’s always good when the weather is nice enough for lunch in the garden. Time in the Harry Potter cupboard looking for the tin side can be a challenge ? Kind regards Janice"

Kim Waugh reviewed: Glass Fusing and Slumping for Beginners and Improvers

"My sister and I attended a class (our second, and definately not the last!) on Saturday. Once again completely enjoyed our day, started with a little refresher on what we were doing and then Jean & Janice encouraged our creative inner selves to shine thru! As always, they were very helpful and encouraging...and the homemade soup, bread and sweets were an additional bonus! Well done ladies! If you want a great day with excellent end result - sign up here!!"

JJ Fused Glass responded:

"Thank you for this Kim. It was really nice to see you and your sister once again. You’re both so enthusiastic and receptive to the whole process, it makes our job much easier. I do hope you like your work. We look for ward to seeing you again in the future."

Sarah reviewed: Glass Fusing and Slumping for Beginners and Improvers

"Yesterday was my 4th time on Jean and Janice’s course, always a lovely day. There are tons of resources to get your inspiration going, and the ladies have lots of advice and knowledge to help you, when they “say less is more”, they know what there talking about ( but there’s so many wonderful resources that you will want to put everything into your work). This time we looked at some new techniques as they always try to teach you something new but you can always have refreshers on the basics or any techniques anytime. Jean and Janice always try to keep you learning new skills and try to help you create what you have in mind ( where feasible). It’s always a warm friendly atmosphere, many attendees are repeat customers and everyone always make new comers and those attending on there own feel welcome. The lunch is always fantastic home cooking and baking, the part of the day where less is more and everyone gets to have a chat which is great with the small group numbers. I’m already planning my next trip."

JJ Fused Glass responded:

"Thank you Sarah for your glowing review! It was great to see you again. Thank you for being so open to learning new techniques and trying things out. Don’t forget to follow your work on the FaceBook page and/ or instagram. We look forward to seeing you again soon."

Ann Alder reviewed: Glass Fusing and Slumping for Beginners and Improvers

"I attended this one day course today and was amazed at how much we achieved and how generous the tutors are with their time, expertise and materials. As a complete beginner I was taught 5 different techniques during the morning and was able to experiment with my own ideas during the afternoon. Jean and Janice were always ready to help and advise but were never intrusive and offered support whenever it was requested. I enjoyed the day so much (including the delicious home-made soda bread at lunchtime!) that I've already booked two more days.... Thanks for a fantastic experience. I'm really looking forward to seeing the finished pieces!"

JJ Fused Glass responded:

"Thank you so much for this lovely review. We really appreciate it. It was a pleasure to meet you. You were so open and receptive to the materials and techniques which were all new to you. We look forward to seeing you when you collect your pieces of fused glass art and when you come back for your next workshop."

Alison Day reviewed: Glass Fusing and Slumping for Beginners and Improvers

"Have attended a few of these workshops now and really enjoyed every one of them. Jean and Janice are both great, always on hand to offer help, guidance and support. Days always fly by and great that still getting to learn new techniques. Lunch is always lovely. Looking forward to our next session."

JJ Fused Glass responded:

"Thank you Alison. It’s always a pleasure to see you and your variety of friends on the workshops. I hope you feel your work has improved over the period you’ve been attending the workshops - we certainly do! We look forward to seeing you next year with yet more techniques to learn."

Debbie Bywater reviewed: Glass Fusing and Slumping for Beginners and Improvers
