Ruth and Andy Harrison are full time self-taught lampwork and fused glass artists based in Burton-On-Trent.
Glass and jewellery design began as a hobby, quickly became an addiction followed soon after by us selling our business and creating our own studio to work with glass full time.
"Fantastic course - we attended with 2 children (aged 8 and 10) and it was perfect for them as well as the adults. All the glass was pre-cut so just needed to use our own creativity to make the pieces. Glass was fired and returned to us quickly too and we are pleased with the results."
"What a lovely day! My daughter & I booked a half day to make some beads with Ruth. We both thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. With absolutely no prior glass bead making experience we came away with a small number of really beautiful, fully formed, extremely precious beads! Ruth was wonderfully patient, very welcoming and gave great instruction. I've followed up this half day of lampwork with a full day just for myself..."

"Thank you Sasha, glad to hear you enjoyed your day and will look forward to seeing you again soon. "
"The two of us really enjoyed our introduction to glass fusion with Andy. Following a demo we were able to make 4 pieces between us with botanical and sea themes, either a wave piece or panels for a lantern, and we can't wait to see how they turn out. In this workshop all of the decorations are pre-made ready to decorate the glass panels as we wish, but this suited us as we had never handled these materials before. Andy was friendly and we enjoyed chatting with him about the various production processes involved and the other types of glasswork they do there. He also makes an excellent cup of tea! We are keen to return to try a more advanced workshop."

"Thank you Laura, glad to hear you enjoyed your day, you made some great pieces too."
