"This class is amazing. I've been a number of times now and it's such a mindful and creative activity. Nadine is a great tutor, there really is no substitute for learning from someone with such passion for their craft and each time, you just get braver with what you create. If you have any doubts, whatever they might be, put them aside and try this course out. You won't be disappointed and you'll make something beautiful."

CHARLOTTE BELL reviewed: Creative Fused Glass for beginners and improvers

"Nadine is very knowledgable and generous with her expertise, and lead the group in a relaxed and informal way. She first explained the materials and the different experimental techniques we could use to achieve our designs, then guided us and discussed how different glass elements in the compositions we had made would perform in the kiln. I really enjoyed this approach as it meant that the workshop was very open and everyone came out with very individual pieces. I'd love to go back very soon :)"

Nadine Mahoney responded:

"Thanks for your kind words, so glad you enjoyed the workshop."

Liz reviewed: Creative Fused Glass for beginners and improvers

"A really enjoyable workshop - highly recommended. Nadine explains how to work with glass clearly and has a relaxed, very friendly manner. While there are many examples that could be used as templates for your own work, Nadine encourages everyone to experiment and develop their own ideas for colour and design, and is always on hand to offer advice and help on how to realise these objectives, moving easily between all of the participants in the workshop individually. It was really interesting seeing how differently each person used the various kinds of glass available, and the very different designs that we all produced. I was very happy indeed with the coasters that I created that morning."

Nadine Mahoney responded:

"Hi Liz, Thank you for taking the time to review the workshop. With all the Covid cancellations I am so happy I got to finally run the session for you! Glad you enjoy the coasters."

Yas reviewed: Creative Fused Glass for beginners and improvers

"I just loved this creative, fun and engaging class. I'd never done anything like it, and Nadine was such a good teacher - I soon felt comfortable using the tools, and experimenting with colour, pattern and design. Not only is Nadine very skilled and technical (handy for a newbie like me) - she's also great chat and incredibly helpful. Thanks again, I can't wait for my next class. Yas"

Nadine Mahoney responded:

"Thanks for the kind words, I hope you are getting great use out of your coasters."

Jessica reviewed: Creative Fused Glass for beginners and improvers

"I loved this class. I felt like I could finally relax my brain from all the stress of the last year and just focus on something else! Time flew by. Nadine was very engaging, enthusiastic and encouraging. Very helpful but also allowing you creative freedom to concentrate and develop your ideas. To me working with glass was like holding pure colour and to just focus on colour, shape and design was wonderful. Highly recommend! Thank you."

Nadine Mahoney responded:

"So glad to hear you loved the workshop, it was a pleasure having you in the session."

"I really enjoyed this creative fused glass course. Nadine is a very friendly and helpful teacher, always ready to give a hand with advice on project ideas, and what type or colour of glass would work well for a specific project. I am new to working with glass but found the experience very enjoyable and would recommend this to anyone interested in working with glass. I am looking forward to seeing the finished product!"

Tina Macinnes reviewed: Creative Fused Glass for beginners and improvers

"I thoroughly enjoyed this creative glass workshop ! Nadine is full of knowledge and makes it a fun few hours where you create your own designs and be inspired by others. I had no idea there was so much to know about glass, we could have gone on for much longer ! Would definitely recommend this as a class for yourself or friends , groups or a gift for someone. Will be back to do another one in the new year, if not before !! Thank you Nadine"

Ema reviewed: Creative Fused Glass for beginners and improvers

"I had a wonderful and insightful class with Nadine who was welcoming and well prepared. We sat in the beautiful garden with plenty of space between participants, overlooking the gorgeous canal. Nadine’s knowledge and interest in fused glass was infectious, I personally felt like I learned about both the history and the material before even getting to the creative part. Nadine’s guidance when coming up with compositions, mixing materials and also the technique was expert to say the least - I had a really lovely day and have come away with a new skill and inspiration to do more. Thanks Nadine!"

Sara Lee reviewed: Creative Fused Glass for beginners and improvers

"I had the best time doing this course. Nadine is a great teacher, a good balance of hands on and hands off support, which gives you space to experiment if you wish to whilst you are learning. I enjoyed the fact the stages were clear, from drawing designs, to cutting glass effectively, before being let loose with all the wonderful colours, textures and your imagination, to create (in my case) some coasters which I was totally thrilled with. Highly recommended on every level."

Helen reviewed: Creative Fused Glass for beginners and improvers

"Loved this, great to try a completely different skill. Relaxed environment and an interesting and creative activity."

Lisa reviewed: Creative Fused Glass for beginners and improvers

"I have never had any craft abilities or any previous experience with glass, but Nadine instantly made me feel comfortable. Her creative passion and ability to break down the instructions into simple steps gave me confidence to experiment. The relaxed environment she creates means you feel able to explore the materials and she has lots of examples to copy in case you do not have your own ideas. I thoroughly enjoyed this class and was amazed and pleased by the quality of the glass work I produced with Nadine’s supportive guidance. Couldn’t recommend this course enough!"

Helen Jenner reviewed: Creative Fused Glass for beginners and improvers

"Such an enjoyable morning! Nadine helped us learn new skills but focused on colour and creativity so we learnt new crafts but also enjoyed the glory of glass! Thank you so much."

Mia reviewed: Creative Fused Glass for beginners and improvers

"My friend and I had a fantastic time at Nadine's fused glass workshop! We were total beginners to working with any kind of glass but she broke down each step in a very simple and fun way, and encouraged silly ideas and questions while still guiding you towards a wonderful finished product (that we get to keep!) She really knows her craft and is wonderful at keeping a relaxed and engaged vibe among all her students. Thanks Nadine!"

Catherine Bayley reviewed: Creative Fused Glass for beginners and improvers

"I was purchased this class for a birthday present and it was fantastic. Nadine was very friendly and chatty and gave us all a brief of how to design and cut glass. I walked away with 4 very impressive looking coasters which I have proudly displayed and are being used as coasters in my home. I never thought I could achieve anything half as good but with Nadine’s guidance and the inspiring surroundings of the studio we were in, for someone never having touched this craft before, I came out with something far better than ever imagined. I highly recommend her class. Not the cheapest activity but it is absolutely worth every penny."
