Rachel Langley reviewed: Glass Fusion - Christmas Wreath Tree Decoration Workshop

"Welcomed by tutor and time spent talking through options. Steps shown and guidance given. Able to work at own pace and to use our own ideas. Advice available at all times. Health and safety PPE available. Booking team did not inform attendees to book in and register numberplate. Tutor unsure when items jade would be ready for collection, as this was a Christmas craft perhaps a date late November would be better. Waiting now to be contacted when item ready but unsure who or how we are being contacted. Overall a good course and would attend another glass workshop."

Stanwick Lakes Art and Craft Courses responded:

"Thank you for leaving us a review. We are pleased you enjoyed the course and have taken your comments on-board. Apologies if your vehicle registration details were not taken by our reception team. The 'Access' email you received upon booking should have advised you to give your car details to the team so our apologies if this was not clear or if they did not ask you for it when you booked in. I understand the course tutor has now been in contact with you directly and let you know that your items are now ready for collection here at Stanwick Lakes. Best wishes, The Stanwick Lakes team."

"A very enjoyable 2 day stained glass course. Lots of new skills to practice and everyone came away with some great panels.

Daniela Wolff reviewed: Glass Fusion - Christmas Wreath Tree Decoration Workshop

"This was my first glass fusion course and I thoroughly enjoyed it. Sally is a very patient, knowledgeable tutor and we all produced several Christmas decorations in the 2 1/2 hours. We were lucky to have sunny weather, so the classroom in the Stanwick Lakes Visitor Centre, with its large windows gave us a lovely view outside. I am looking forward to attending future courses with Sally."

Dawn and Julian Bradshaw reviewed: Blacksmithing Introductory Workshop - One Day

"Julian and I were bought this as a Christmas gift. We have done lots of other courses, including glassblowing, mosaics, and a range of other crafts. This was the best and most enjoyable course of them all! The small group (4 in total) was perfect to build a good rapport and to share the experience. The tutor was not only knowledgeable in so many areas, but he taught with sensitivity and real skill, getting to know our strengths and challenge areas, and working with us to overcome them and celebrate our successes. I was so proud of our work when we had finished and cannot recommend this day highly enough. The toasting fork is in pride of place beside our open fire!! Thank you for the lovely venue, great teaching, and excellent support. It was magical."

Stanwick Lakes Art and Craft Courses responded:

"Thank you so much for taking the time to leave us such a fabulous review. We are so pleased that you both enjoyed the workshop and I am sure the course tutor will be extremely happy to learn how much you enjoyed the course too! We do hope to see you both here at Stanwick Lakes again soon. Best wishes, The Stanwick Lakes team."
