Taster Sessions & Workshops
in
Kiln-Fired Glass Jewellery & Glassware Items
All suited to complete beginners and with an emphasis on enjoyment!
At previous workshops, participants have been amazed at how many different pieces
they were able to make, many of which they gave as presents to friends and family.
“Extremely good value “ said one student.
A quiet day of creativity with individual equipment, gentle tuition
and the feeling of going home from a satisfying day.
Most workshops are on Saturdays ( see calendar below), however if three or more people request a workshop, I am happy to arrange a mutually convenient date and run an extra event. The range of workshops changes from season to season and reflects demand and requests.
Participants on full day workshops are welcome to bring their own lunch or you can order from the menu of the local delicatessen “Deliicious” when you are here and it will be delivered.
What can you expect?
*A centrally heated workshop environment
*Top quality tools and materials
*Generous table space
*Clear information and demonstration
*Flexibility and choice
*Small items posted on to you
*Personal and Knowledgeable service
