Julie reviewed: Glass Experience Day: Try fused glass, stained glass and enamelling in 1 course!

"A lovely day and a great opportunity to try 3 different ways of working with glass. Sarah was very informative, supportive and patient. Lunch was relaxed and tasty - so much more than the ploughman's that was described! I would recommend this day for anyone who, like me, wanted to try different glass works to see what worked for me. There are separate sessions for fusion, stain glass and enameling if you know what you want to do."

Sarah Greening Glass responded:

"It was great to meet you - I love running this course as it is a lovely way to share my passion for all things glassy! Thanks for taking the time to leave a review, much appreciated."

Jo O reviewed: Glass fusing private class - fun taster class for beginners

"We spent a lovely morning glass fusing in Sarah's workshop. Sarah was very welcoming and explained everything we were going to do during the session, with enough health and safety to put us at our ease and make us feel safe! We were able to design and make several pieces with Sarah giving advice and suggestions without taking over! with a busy job, it was so nice to concentrate on making something. The time flew by and we both agreed how much we enjoyed ourselves. Thank you Sarah for a lovely morning (enamelling next I think!)"

Sarah Greening Glass responded:

"It was lovely to help you both make your fabulous pieces! Thanks so much for taking the time to review!"

Alison reviewed: Glass Experience Day: Try fused glass, stained glass and enamelling in 1 course!

"What a fantastic way to spend a day. Sarah explained everything in detail from cutting the glass to how it changes in the firing process. Then there was a sample of stained glass, even using a soldering iron! The day was finished off with copper enamelling which was amazing to see how the enamelling changed in the firing process. Sarah was always on hand if you had any questions or to point you in the right direction. All part of the 3 in 1 day was a delicious Ploughman's lunch too! Would highly recommend to anyone as no prior experience is needed."

Sarah Greening Glass responded:

"Thanks so much Alison - I loved helping you make your masterpieces! the fused glass is just out of the kiln and looks beautiful too! Thanks for taking the time to leave a review."

Karen reviewed: Enamelling jewellery private workshop

"Wow! I had a fabulous morning with Sarah doing a 121 enamelling course. Sarah is so kind and patient and has a great knowledge but is also keen for you to use your own creativity in making designs. I would thoroughly recommend anyone to do one of Sarah's courses. I was a complete beginner but was made to feel very at ease. Thanks you Sarah."

Sarah Greening Glass responded:

"Thanks so much Karen - I love sharing my passion for the exciting world of enamelling!"

Alison reviewed: Enamelling jewellery private workshop

"Three of us did the enamelling workshop on 6th February 2022 and had a wonderful time creating something unique. It was lovely trying different colours and shapes for our pendants. Sarah helped to make it a very pleasurable experience with her ideas of colour combinations and ways of making the finished pendants interesting. Thank you Sarah for a very enjoyable morning."

Veronica reviewed: Glass Experience Day: Try fused glass, stained glass and enamelling in 1 course!

"I did this course in October with another lady and thoroughly enjoyed it. I have not tried any of the three different glass courses before. Sarah is a brilliant and talented tutor. There was such a lot of different dimensions and colour choices to make. It is good to have a little idea of what you might want to achieve beforehand-Pinterest is a good ‘go to’ for ideas. Sarah can then put it all into context I.e achievable or not! Lunch was perfect- a good relaxing day! Thank you"

Sarah Greening Glass responded:

"I'm so pleased you enjoyed the day so much - we do pack a lot of different techniques into 1 day! Thanks very much for leaving such a lovely review."

Sue Barrass reviewed: Glass fusing whole day private course

"My friend and I had a whole day glass fusing with Sarah, which was great. We made so many lovely things, which we will be able to collect in a few days. The lunch, which was also provided in the day’s course, was lovely and mostly home-grown. Sarah and her husband, Chris, who teaches pottery, are a very talented couple and good fun to meet. All in all it was a fabulous, creative day- thank you."

Sarah Greening Glass responded:

"It was great to meet you both and help you make some masterpieces in glass! Thank you so much for taking the time to leave a review! Sarah"

Tracey Carr reviewed: Glass fusing private class - fun taster class for beginners

"A fabulous 2 hours of creating our own glass pieces. Sarah has great patience and provides all the knowledge you need to make some lovely pieces. Materials were limitless and even when we thought we were finished she encouraged us to make one more piece. My 3 teenage boys were engaged the whole time and learnt some new skills in cutting and using glass. Sarah was happy to work with their ideas and suggest ways to get the best outcome from the glass, introducing foil, bubbles and textures to their creations. The items were posted to us promptly so we arrived home from our holiday to find them in the postbox. I would definitely recommend this experience to anyone, it puts a smile on my face every time I look at our creations!"

Sarah Greening Glass responded:

"So pleased you all like your pieces - a lovely post-holiday perk! Thank you so much for such a lovely review, Sarah"

Paula P reviewed: Pottery wheel throwing & glass fusing 1-day course

"A super day all round. Chris and Sarah are very skilled in their own art and are so patient and encouraging throughout. I felt very safe as the day was Covid complaint at all times and I enjoyed the bonus of lunch and a chat mid day . Chris and Sarah are so warm and share so much of their knowledge to make the day informative and add to my understanding of two crafts. I’ll be back!! Thank you xxx"

"Lovely to meet you! Your glass is all successfully out of the kiln and pots will follow! Thanks very much for taking the time to leave a review. Merry Christmas, Sarah and Chris"

Kay reviewed: Glass fusing private class - fun taster class for beginners

"I went with my daughter in early October.. It was my second time with Sarah. Sarah is great - explains things really clearly, is encouraging and patient, and helps you to make your ideas work. We both made coasters that we were delighted with, as well as a ring, and hanging decorations. Arrangements for our safety were good and we felt very comfortable wearing visors. Looking forward to next time. Thank you, Sarah!"

Sarah Greening Glass responded:

"Hello Kay - It was great to see you again for a 2nd session and so pleased you both loved your finished pieces! Thank you for mentioning the safety - we obviously take it very seriously but also hope that it doesn't impact on the enjoyment. Many thanks, Sarah"

Matt reviewed: Glass fusing private class - fun taster class for beginners

"We went to a glass workshop at the end of October. Sarah offered us visors to wear instead of our masks, which was a great idea given the duration of the workshop. We felt safe throughout, with the set up allowing social distancing. Sarah was incredibly knowledgeable, encouraging, kind and helpful throughout the session, and I’d highly recommend the workshop for absolute beginners as well as those who do have some knowledge of glass fusing. We made 7 pieces in total between the two of us, and the overall experience is something we won’t forget - in a good way!"

Sarah Greening Glass responded:

"Thanks very much Matt - you made some great pieces and so pleased you enjoyed yourselves! Many thanks"

Georgina reviewed: Pottery wheel throwing & glass fusing 1-day course

"My husband and I attended this course in October. A fantastic way to try some new crafts, lose ourselves in creativity and effectively escape for the day. Both the glass fusing and pottery tuition was excellent. We both made some pieces we feel really proud of and they have just arrived safely at our home having been posted after being fired etc... Must not forget to mention delicious lunch and wonderful hospitality from this creative pair."

Sarah Greening Glass responded:

"Great to spend the day with you both! So pleased you love your finished pieces. Stay safe, Sarah & Chris"

Would highly recommend :)"

Olivia reviewed: Pottery wheel throwing & glass fusing 1-day course

"My 11yo daughter and I had a lovely day with Sarah and Chris. Relaxed, informative and productive, we can’t wait to see how our items turn out. Lunch was delicious too! As our day was during Covid times, Sarah and Chris took care to wear appropriate ppe as did we, the workshops were well ventilated and we maintained a social distance throughout. We’re already looking forward to doing another one! ☀️"

"Thanks very much Olivia! Great to have such enthusiastic learners - hope Sophie enjoys her new hobby!"

Robin Lawrence reviewed: Pottery wheel & glass fusing private course

"Always fancied trying pottery & glass fusion, so was delighted when I spotted Chris & Sarah's courses. So far have only had one half day course, but would like to book more. They both took time & were very patient with me. Would recommend any one to give it a go. Also would make great presents for birthdays or Christmas."

Sarah Greening Glass responded:

"Thanks so much Robin! And thanks for suggesting the course as a Christmas or birthday gift - an activity is a memorable gift for someone and they get to make something to be proud of too! Many thanks"

Debbie reviewed: Pottery wheel throwing & glass fusing 1-day course

"A really positive day with Sarah and Chris doing the pottery and glass fusing day last week. It was just myself and my daughter due to Covid restrictions and the whole day was relaxed but productive. Neither of us have ever done wheel pottery or glass fusion but we both felt we learnt so much in just a day under the calm supervision and teaching of Sarah and Chris and made several pieces of pottery and glass that we were really pleased with. Lunch was lovely and we would really recommend this craft day."

Sarah Greening Glass responded:

"Hello Debbie, So kind of you to leave such a positive review of your day - it was lovely to meet you both a help you make some fabulous pieces! Will let you know when they're ready for you. Many thanks, Sarah & Chris"

Keely Mann reviewed: Pottery wheel & glass fusing private course

"My daughter and I spent a really enjoyable few hours on our half day pottery/glass fusing course. We were both complete beginners but Chris and Sarah took plenty of time to guide us through the techniques needed to make a variety of different pieces in both of the classes. Chris knew that I was a cake maker so suggested that I have a go at making a small pottery cupcake stand, I can't wait to pick it up to see if it survived the kiln or not! We made so many different items in the glass fusing class and are both looking forward to picking them up tomorrow to see what the finished items look like. I would highly recommend both the pottery and glass fusing course to anyone that would like a few hours to relax and get creative. Thank you Sarah and Chris."

Sarah Greening Glass responded:

"So pleased you both enjoyed the half day course! Looking forward to handing over your finished pieces tomorrow! Thanks very much for leaving a review for us too."

Barbara Davies reviewed: Pottery wheel throwing & glass fusing 1-day course

"This day was shared with my husband and me, both being complete novices. Sarah provided a very positive day for me. She clearly explained the techniques and options available for my project and was always on hand supporting (but in an inobtrusive way) so I could try my own creative ideas whenever possible. I was amazed that I was able to make a range of items beyond what I had anticipated, and can't wait to collect the fired items in a few weeks. Would recommend this day course to anyone who wants to bring out their inner artisan. Barbara. I opted for a complete day of pottery with Chris. Obviously very experienced in running courses, he began with the necessary health and safety briefing. After a short demonstration, it was straight into throwing pots, which was just great. He gave just the right balance of advice and intervention and I completed numerous examples refining the shapes and gaining confidence during the morning. There was a chance to reflect over lunch and a much-needed coffee break. The afternoon was spent finalising each pot and decorating with liquid slip. I found the whole day both therapeutic and incredibly rewarding. I'm looking forward to seeing the finished products. Very much recommended. Mike"

Sarah Greening Glass responded:

"Thank you so much to you both for leaving such a comprehensive and glowing review! Very much appreciated - we'll be in touch as soon as your pieces are finished. Sarah & Chris"
