"I have been on two of Gigha's courses and both were excellent. Gigha gives you confidence to try everything in a quiet supportive way. Hopefully I will try some of her other courses in the near future."

Margaret Price reviewed: Glass Fusing for beginners

"Brilliant day! Pleasant company, excellent tuition and as an absolute beginner I came away with 2 pieces that look really good. We had a lovely lunch and plenty of tea! The choice of items to make suited everyone and the results were fantastic. It was well worth the trip from Kent to Devon. I shall definitely be attending further workshops."

"I found the workshop on line, I booked two places for me and my husband. Never been on a stained glass workshop, cutting glass was not easy. Having spent some time doing the glass cutting, I chose my designs, Gigha has pieces made on a table and patterns in a folder. So many designs to choose from. There is plently of choice of glass, and other bits to add to your work. Lunch is included,plenty of drinks. Its a mixed ability group, some people on their 3rd workshops. Gigha comes around and explains when you need to move on to the next stage. I would book again,we both really enjoyed the day."

"Fantastic day. Gigha is a very relaxed tutor, and imparts her knowledge quietly and creatively. She worked very hard to give us a special experience. We had a wonderful selection of choices of bases to mosaic and a glass sweet shop of colours, shapes, and variety from which to choose. She also produced a delicious sit down lunch. The day was run in a caring and thoughtful way. I will definitely be on another course soon. I am absolutely thrilled with the mosaic I made, and my husband is very impressed with my results."

"This is my second stained glass course and like the first time, I had a wonderful day and came back with some lovely creations. Gigha holds a relaxed informative class and offers good advice and assistance when required. The equipment and choice of products to enhance your creation are superb. I had a fantastic time and will be back again, this time with my husband who desperately wants to try it. Lunch included what else could you ask for."

Alison Penney reviewed: Glass Fusing for beginners

"I’ve now been to many of Ghia’s courses, both Tiffany method copper foil & glass mosaic. I’m now completely & utterly hooked to glass thanks to Ghia's excellent teaching. The groups have a good mix of people & it’s always a friendly atmosphere & excellent lunch provided. I have a tendency to arrive at the workshops with big ideas but limited know-how, but Ghia goes out of her way, above & beyond, to help you create your masterpiece. She is very enthusiastic & has a real love & knowledge of the subject. She is also generous in providing further advice & support in being able to buy correct/best equipment to carry on creating on your own away from her workshops. I cannot recommend Ghia’s workshops enough! Give them a go & you’ll soon be hooked too."

Nicky reviewed: Glass Fusing for beginners

"Mosaics was my first course. It was a lovely day with a very relaxed atmosphere....until I realised I had been over ambitious with my design and had to work faster. There was plenty of materials to choose from and top quality tools. I took home a beautiful mosaic on mirror. Oh, and we had a really great lunch too! I'm looking forward to my second course which is already booked."

I couldn't have asked for a better teacher, Gigha was amazing showing us step by step and very patient going over things. Everyone on the workshop was very friendIy and we all, made lovely glass items which we could take home. Can't wait to go to my next workshop with Gigha. I would highly recommend this workshop.

"I’ve now done a few of Gigha’s workshops and can say that each one has been great fun. I’ve learnt a lot and started off as a complete novice. Gigha is very patient and an easy going tutor. She is there if you need one to one help but for those who have been before she lets you go and do your own thing. A very well organised workshop, lunch, coffee and sweet treats are very nice as well!"

"I went to one of the Christmas workshops and what an amazing, fun and creative day it was. Highly recommended. It’s no worry if you have no clue, Gigha takes you through the processes step by step making it so easy to produce something beautiful. I am really proud of what I created and even my husband said they were good, and it takes a lot to get a comment from him usually."

"I had a wonderful day, learnt so much and gained some new skills. Excellent that there was support there when needed after the first demo. Got on with stuff and guidance and every important step of the way. Then left to it. I could have stayed a lot longer and made much much more. Will most definitely be booking another one. Thank you Gigha"

"My friend and I had a ball. A thoroughly enjoyable day. We came home with several excellent Xmas Decorations. Gigha was exceeding good. Her demonstrations were clear and she was happy to demonstrate again or to help out, but left you alone to get on with it. I can thoroughly recommend to anyone like me who isn't particularly crafty or to people who have a greater knowledge. The equipment and resources were plentiful. On top of that we had an excellent simple lunch with Jacket Potatoes and Salad and a few nibbles with plenty of tea and coffee and biscuits available at all times. I shall book another course shortly. Thank you very much. Marylyn"

"Totally recommend this course. I'm not great at craft work, but Gigha is a patient, wonderful teacher encouraging you to be ambitious and creative and do as much as you can yourself but stepping in when things look like they need rescuing! Lovely to be able to produce the whole thing from initial drawing (taking inspiration from all the beautiful things Gigha has made) to final touches with a bit of help! Came home with a beautiful tea light holder. Thanks Gigha x"

Pam B reviewed: Glass Fusing for beginners

"Very well organised with lots of materials available to use. Each step was clearly demonstrated and if you were still uncertain Gihga helped you through. Gihga clearly explained how to use the equipment safely and kept a watchful eye on us without interfering. It was a lovely day - every one pitched in and the lunch was very good. You don't have to be an expert, just relax and have fun."
