Liz Machin reviewed: A fabulous introduction to fused glass - one day course

"I attended a one day fused glass course in April with a group of family members. We had a really fun and informative day with Siobhan who was patient and knowledgeable. Despite misgivings about our artistic skills we produced items that are (to us) very impressive!! Thank you Siobhan for making a memorable day."

Helen Garlick reviewed: A fabulous introduction to fused glass - one day course

"We had a fabulous workshop day with Siobhan at the Forge. Excellent facilities and Siobhan was a great teacher - she explained all the techniques and how it would look after being in the kiln and set us working on our first piece very quickly. She made the day great fun for us. We were a family group - total novices at this - and Siobhan helped us create a collaborative piece in the afternoon as a memento of a milestone birthday. Really rather special experience! Many thanks and thoroughly recommend to anyone."

Linda Saunders reviewed: A fabulous introduction to fused glass - one day course

"Had a brilliant day with Siobhan doing the fused glass course. Nothing was too much trouble; the techniques were well explained and demonstrated with examples to see in the studio. I managed to produce a window insert for my front door which involved a lot of planning. Mounting was done a few weeks later after the piece had been fired and suitable safety glass to hold the piece had been sourced. A generous and varied lunch was provided and was a welcome break from the intensive work. Thanks Siobhan hope to see you again."

Ian Elder reviewed: A fabulous introduction to fused glass - one day course

"Siobhan Thoroughly enjoyed your -one day course on fused glass. I was surprised to see on my test pieces how well the sharp edges of the glass disappeared with firing. Anyway, to make something really acceptable I would need more practice under supervision. You never know I could come again. Best wishes and thanks Ian"

Jackie reviewed: A fabulous introduction to fused glass - one day course

"This was a thoroughly enjoyable day, and even I (with no discernable artistic skills whatsoever) managed to produce something that will be displayed in the house rather than relegated to the loft as I feared! Siobhan was a great tutor, encouraging and good humoured, she explained things clearly and didn't seem to mind any number of questions. The only problem I have is that I now have a greater appreciation of the immense work that goes into the pieces Siobhan creates herself, and want to buy at least 3 of them! Great lunch too."

Vanda reviewed: A fabulous introduction to fused glass - one day course

"What a fabulously fun day we had fusing glass. I found it a bit stressful at the begining before deciding to design a sunset tile.. and then, once again, it was difficult to decide what to make in the afternoon. But after our yummy posh picnic-y lunch, and once I'd decided on my South Downs Way theme, there was no stopping me. My final 'masterpiece' turned out a bit darker in places than I'd thought it would; and I might go back and have another go. Siobhan is great; leaving us alone to get on with our chosen peices as well as being there whenever we needed help. The whole day was great fun, and the tiny glass cuts on my fingers healed really well within the week......"

"This was a fantastic day. Instruction was very clear with visual help from pieces around the gallery to demonstrate technique and effects. It was absolute immersion in being creative for the day. I would dearly love to go and do another course it was so enjoyable."

Jenny Lawson reviewed: A fabulous introduction to fused glass - one day course

"I had a great day. The instruction was clear, and there was always help when we needed it. Having a small class meant there was time for everyone. I hope I can go again some time and lose myself in the fun of creating whatever I dream up! And, as a bonus, lunch was fresh, plentiful and delicious. Thank you, Siobhan!"

"This is fantastic fun whether you have worked with glass before or are a complete novice.

Christine reviewed: A fabulous introduction to fused glass - one day course

"A wonderful, informative and good fun day. I haven't collected my piece yet, even so I would highly recommend the day. Siobhan tailors the day to your individual needs and experience and lets you get on with it, after the first instructions and examples, but is always on hand for support and advice. I have gone on several craft courses and this one really was excellent. ( I may have to go again!) Very good value for money too!! Thanks Siobhan"

"I spent a really happy and relaxing day learning about fused glass techniques and producing some pieces I and my family are very proud of ! Siobhan was more than very helpful and made us feel at home in her beautiful gallery and workshop- very inspiring surroundings filled with lots of wonderful things. Topped off with a lovely lunch and lashings of tea or coffee ! I would love to return to learn more."

Nancy reviewed: A fabulous introduction to fused glass - one day course

"Siobhan is fantastic - really kind and friendly which makes it so easy to learn the techniques from her, as you don't feel silly asking questions! (And she makes a good cup of tea too!) She had the patience of a saint in working with us all - complete strangers of different ages, abilities and ideas of what we wanted to achieve from the day. I would thoroughly recommend going to do this course, and am sure I'll be back at some point to do some more :) For those who don't drive it also great that the transport links are so good."

David Graham reviewed: A fabulous introduction to fused glass - one day course

"This is fun. You get involved in hands-on technology, and the mysteries of fusion. You will never feel the same way about glass again - what you can do with it, it's properties and it's possibilities. And Siobhan guides you through it, lets you do your own thing, motivates you. Highly recommended!"
