- 5/5 from Emily Swanson, attended May 2026: Such a treat to have a private lesson with Pauline! It was a day full of fun and inspiration.
- 5/5 from Rhonda Ebsary, attended Apr 2026: Pauline is a fantastic teacher. She had patience, knowledge and talent when teaching glass beads. Pauline watches you and nicely tells you what to do and correct you and give you tips and techniques as you make your own bead. By the end of the workshop you be making good or even great beads Pauline explains everything and a master in beadwork. The notes that are supplied are informative and also includes beadwork supplier list if you want to continue with this craft. She also anneals your beads and mail them to you. Definitely recommend doing this workshop
- 5/5 from Catherine Baddock, attended Apr 2026: Pauline took my interests and goals into account and helped me learn and create around them. It was a very good and informative class.
- 5/5 from Marie-Lauren Romano, attended Jul 2025: Super fun session! I had enquired a few years ago with Pauline, I’m glad I finally got to attend her class.
- 5/5 from Ishana Rupasinghe, attended Apr 2025: I loved this class!! Pauline was such a great teacher and taught me so many different techniques - it definitely wasn't easy to pick up at first, but I had so much fun and got the hang of it by the end! Definitely recommend to anyone looking to pick up a new skill and gain some insight into the world of lampwork!! Thanks Pauline :)
- 5/5 from Beth Howard, attended Dec 2024: An awesome day with Pauline who provides great instructions for different kinds of beads. I was able to make 18 beads during the day. My kids had given me a gift card and thoroughly enjoy the class. Will be back! Thanks Pauline :)
- 5/5 from Melanie Heffernan, attended Oct 2024: This class was awesome!! I had the teacher to myself and lots of concentrated instructions and tips for getting the best results. I really enjoyed working with the glass and found using an open flame way less daunting than I had thought. So happy with the beads I made and will definitely return! Thanks Pauline - it was a great day!
- 5/5 from Alana Stewart, attended Oct 2024: Pauline is very experienced and very generous with her time and direction. I would highly recommend her classes if you're looking to get into this as a hobby or serious art practice.
- 5/5 from Alanna Harbey, attended Sep 2024: A date day for myself and my partner. Pauline was lovely, I initially made a booking error and Pauline was very wonderful about getting us re booked for an appropriate time. She coached us throughout the process, we had a lot of fun.
- 5/5 from Olivia Hines, attended May 2024: Pauline gave lots of guidance throughout the day. I made more than ten glass beads. Pauline was also very generous and gave me the leftover glass rods to use later at home.
- 5/5 from Harriet Raleigh, attended May 2023: Pauline and her lamp work glass bead making course was amazing! Loved seeing her studio in all its colourful, functional aesthetic. Pauline was so knowledgeable and so willing to share her knowledge and history of her craft. She was also so patient, clear with instructions and very diligent with safety protocols. I would recommend anyone who wants a small insight into this addictive and meditative art form give it a go. Would 100% go again! Thank you Pauline
- 5/5 from Winter Stagg, attended Apr 2023: WOW! what an experience! this is definitely not a casual 'paint and sip' of situation. the teacher is amazing and her work is just exquisite, but don't be fooled by how easy she make it look! her art is incredible (check the photo!) the first bead you make is going to be the hardest because (at least for me) it's quite an intimidating process! it's like glass blowing bit micro and you really end up falling into another world just you, the flame, the glass and a patient, problem solver with a fast hand to catch you if you start to slip. i can't wait to go back! a few pointers: you need your hands as steady as they can be (i have an essential tremor and i did fine) but go easy on the coffee before you arrive. just concentrate on one thing at a time IF you do mess anything up, trust me, she's going to notice even before you and teach you how to right it. you're in excellent hands. it really is a very unique experience and i would highly recommend it to anyone wo wants to try something creative, challenging and very fun.
- 5/5 from Ci Nguyen, attended Sep 2022: Amazing class! Pauline is so patient and a great teacher! I highly recommend this class!
