Carolyn Quinn reviewed: Glass bead making / lampwork

"Lovely day learning to make beads, I was imagining I was in Murano. Karen is very knowledgeable and a good teacher. A lovely lunch was provided. Looking forward to attending more of Karen’s workshops."

Penny Porter reviewed: Cold Enamelling/ Enamelling

"I had a very rewarding 5 hours doing this course. Karen was sensitive to my lack of confidence and it was something I'd not done anything like, even remotely, before. Lots of time and patience allowed me progress in an unhurried way, and to decide which of the two methods I preferred. Love the venue, lunch was great and I came out with a lot more than I thought I would."

Catherine R reviewed: Fused glass Penguins workshop

"We had a wonderful two hours in Karen's treasure trove of a studio. We loved the freedom to create our own, slightly mad, penguins and the variety of materials available was great. It was a very relaxed two hours that flew by and my daughter fell in love with Berty the parrot too!!"

Sarah Redfearn reviewed: Silver spinner ring workshop

"Did the silver spinner ring course with my daughter in law. It was well worth the money and as it was just the two of us with Karen it felt like we got a lot of attention and advice as we made the rings. Karen was very patient and everything was well explained and it was easy to ask for clarification or help. Will be doing more of her courses in the future."

Emily reviewed: Glass bead making / lampwork

"Loved absolutely every second of the day. Thoroughly enjoyed ourselves and Karen was a fantastic teacher. Left with enough basic knowledge to consider having another go once I've got some tools together."

Neil Simpson reviewed: Watercolour - Landscapes and seascapes

"Excellent. Karen was very welcoming and happy to help with the project I wanted to pursue, rather than the one advertised ! "

Rhona reviewed: Glass bead making / lampwork

"Really enjoyed the day glass bead making with Karen. I was surprised at the number of different techniques we tried and just how much I learnt about glass generally. The beads arrived a few days after the course having been annealed, so thank you for sending them so quickly and for a very enjoyable day."

"Had a lovely time. Karen was friendly and really helpful. We'll definitely be looking at other classes with Karen, in the future. "

Charlotte reviewed: Silver jewellery making -Ring Taster

"My original course was cancelled due to snow and ice, but Karen rescheduled after consulting me about dates. I joined her friendly group of students doing their five week jewellery course, with Karen giving me loads of individual attention to help me create my silver ring. A fantastic bonus was that I'd taken along some silver rings that I could no longer wear, to ask her advice about them, and she showed me how to enlarge them. So I came away with four wearable rings, not just one! "

BRENDA LORD reviewed: Fused glass christmas wreaths

"Great session with friendly experienced tutor. Fun building the wreath lots of options to choose from, tools provided along with experienced tuition. Great fun in a relaxed atmosphere."

Lesley Breckenridge reviewed: Fused glass christmas wreaths

"Had a lovely afternoon at Redcurrant Glass making a fused glass Christmas Wreath. Karen was lovely, very kind and patient, she helped us throughout the process ensuring we would have a beautiful decoration to take home once it had been fired in the kiln. I also purchased an at home Christmas tree decoration kit that can be posted to Karen for firing in the kiln, and she will post back to me once complete. A great idea for a gift as she does an large assortment of at home kits, great for those who want to try Fused Glass work but cant necessarily get to an in person workshop. I would definitely recommend Karens workshops, and would go again. Thanks Karen x"

KL reviewed: Fused glass workshops for all

"We attended the glass infusion day course. Karen was welcoming and made you feel at ease straight away . She was very informative explaining about the glass used, different techniques, styles etc. During the day we were able to complete 3/4 different styles of glass items such as coasters, tea light holders. After we had completed a glass coaster, the choice was ours what we wanted to make, Karen was always at hand guiding and offering help and suggesting ideas. A sandwich and cake was provided for lunch and a choice of hot or cold drinks were offered during the day. The day was thoroughly enjoyable, and Karen was a great tutor. Looking forward to seeing our creations once they have been in the kiln. Thanks to Karen for a great day, would definitely recommend this course"

Lorna reviewed: Stained Glass - Copper foil Fairies and flowers and more...

"An excellent day. Karen freely shares her knowledge and helps you get the most you can from this course. I came away with three pieces of work and you can see the improvement in technique in each piece thanks to Karen’s help and advice. Would highly recommend if you want to learn this technique."

Gaynor reviewed: Silver Clay jewellery making

"Had a lovely afternoon silver clay jewellery making with Karen. She made the session simple and enjoyable and we were able to design and make a few pieces to take home. Would love to book on more creative workshops with Karen."
