Recent reviews of Casual Glass Fusing Class

• 5/5 from Siobhan Byford, attended Oct 2026: My teen son enjoyed this class so much he returned with a friend. Now they both want to do more as they loved it. Below is a work in process photo, I can't wait to see the final results. I was delighted to see the workshop was again taught by Gigi, who is a wonderful teacher and so good with teens - knowledgeable, ethusatic and creative, and really helped bring their plans to fruition. Highly recommend. (sorry if this appears twice, the website cancelled my first attempt to review this date).
• 5/5 from Jean Todd, attended Sep 2026: My second class t Merryl’s Mosaics as the first one was so good. I went to this class with my friend for a girl’s day and we had such a nice time. Gigi was a great instructor and explained the basics of the glass fusing very clearly and was very helpful. The class is conducted in a very pleasant welcoming space. We’re looking forward to seeing how
• 5/5 from Jennifer Bowler, attended Sep 2026: I have just spent 3 hours learning how to do glass fusing at Merryl's Mosaics. I had been given a gift voucher. It has been a wonderful experience and Merryl took time and care sharing her vast knowledge with me. Before I attended this class I researched glass fusing and arrived with a predrawn picture so I didn't waste any precious time. Now I am excitedly waiting for the finished product. I was given lots of ideas and have chosen to have my finished work draped so it will be semi circular.

• 5/5 from Siobhan Byford, attended Jul 2026: The class was excellent, Gigi is a natural teacher and so knowledgeable and helpful, and was absolutely wonderful with my young teen son.

• 5/5 from Jade Brockley, attended May 2026: I attended a Casual Glass Fusing Class to learn about the process of glass design and fusing. Merryl is an incredible wealth of knowledge and shared this with passion and enthusiasm during this 3 hour session. The working studio is a large light filled space and there are many examples of fused glass artworks on display. I learned a lot during this short time and came away bubbling with excitement on ideas of making things with glass. Thank you Merryl and Stella for having me!

• 5/5 from Jenny Bamber, attended Nov 2025: I loved it! There were only two in the group and our teacher (Gigi) was wonderful. I found it very relaxing and satisfying making my - to match the bowl I made at an earlier session. Looking forward to picking up my finished piece after firing. Thanks Merryl’s Mosaics.
• 5/5 from Gabby Scambler, attended Oct 2025: Thoroughly enjoyed the glass fusion experience as it was something new to try. Everything was explained exceptionally well and then it was 'dive in' and get creative!! Look forward to returning and exploring my artistic expression. Thank you, much appreciated Gabby
• 5/5 from Celena Sonntag, attended Sep 2025: Loved it! It was so fun.
• 5/5 from Kay Peterson, attended Sep 2025: Merryl is an excellent tutor she has a wealth of experience and explains processes well. I was very lucky to have her individual tuition to make a platter which included learning to use the glass cutter gulitone to cut various colours and sizes. Meryl also expedited the firing process for me as I'm visiting from NZ for a week so I could take back a finished piece.
• 5/5 from Olga Kalweit, attended Sep 2025: I recently attended a glass fusion workshop with Merryl and had a truly wonderful experience. Merryl was warm, welcoming, and made everyone feel at ease. Her professionalism and attention to detail were evident throughout the session. What stood out most was how inclusive and thoughtful she was in guiding each participant, making sure everyone felt involved, supported, and confident in their creativity. The session was not only well-structured and informative, but also deeply enjoyable and creatively fulfilling. I highly recommend this workshop to anyone looking to try something new, learn from a skilled artist, and enjoy a meaningful, hands-on creative experience.

• 5/5 from Lara Chan-Baker, attended Aug 2025: My dad and I had the BEST time doing this class! We were lucky to be the only ones in the session so had Merryl all to ourselves. She was an excellent instructor and helped us bring each of our ideas to life in totally different ways. She even let us stay longer to finish our pieces after the workshop ended. It's a very hands-on session and you learn a lot. I would 100% recommend this class to anyone interested – I can't wait to go back and make more!

• 5/5 from Sharon Bourne, attended Feb 2025: We had a sensational time today in the glass fusion workshop. Meryl is an excellent teacher and ensured that we each created a piece that we were happy with. There are so many options to select from in terms of shape, colour and design. The studio space is a great space to create in. She explains the process clearly and demonstrates how to use each tool, whilst ensuring that we too used each tool prior to commencing our respective pieces. A truly memorable experience. I will be returning to complete another piece in the not too distant future. Great experience. Sharon

• 5/5 from Teresa Hayes, attended Apr 2024: Merryl is an excellent teacher. She is encouraging and genuinely wants her class participants to learn new skills and create a piece they can be proud of. Glass fusing is similar in many ways to mosaics. I want to return and take this class again. All materials were provided and the range of glass was extensive. I have added a photo of my work pre-firing. It takes a couple of weeks to complete the process. Cannot wait to see my finished bowl.

• 5/5 from Carolyn French, attended Nov 2023: Merryl was lovely, patient and experienced with supporting nervous beginners. We were soon put at ease and really enjoyed the introduction to class fusing. Merryl was available and happy to answer questions, give suggestions and guide strategies to achieve our ideas. The studio is spacious, organised and the displays of various glass and mosaic artworks certainly inspired us. It was a great space to relax with friends and create at our pace. There was no rush which enabled time to enjoy the process and complete a piece we were happy with. We plan to return and would highly recommend classes with Merryl.
• 5/5 from Anonymised ClassBento customer, attended Sep 2023: Merryl’s fused glass workshop was fantastic! We were a group of 5, and there was an excellent balance of group instruction, individual assistance, and freedom to play with the glass unaided. Merryl had a huge range of glass materials to work with, and lots of different examples to give us ideas for what to make. We all wore masks for the immunocompromised person in our group, and it was no trouble for Merryl to do the same. I’m definitely keen to do more classes here.
• 5/5 from Beth Howard, attended Aug 2023: Meryl was fantastic! Studio is really well stocked with some beautiful pieces on display. Info provided tailored to experience of participants. I’ll be back!

• 5/5 from Janine Lovell, attended Jun 2023: Fulfilled Christmas gift today and got to spend a fun outing with my adult son. Very warm and welcoming. Excellent introduction to give us some ideas on styles, colours and forms. I’m looking forward to seeing the finished product. Studio clean and heaps of working space. Thank you for an enjoyable visit. Might even extend myself to coming back to make a vase. Janine & Taylor
• 5/5 from Robert Batchelor, attended May 2023: Meryl was a very good teacher; she helped all of us make great glass art!
• 5/5 from Jacomi Preez, attended Feb 2023: We were a group of three and absolutely loved our experience Merryl was amazing and encouraging with every effort. Highly recommend as we are going back!
• 5/5 from Natalie Allen, attended Feb 2023: Merryl and staff have been wonderful. I had made a platter for a friend's wedding that cracked on slumping - no fault of mine or theirs. Merryl tried to repair it but it was unfortunately obvious (again not her fault). So she generously helped me devise a new design that I could use the glass from the broken platter, so I will still have something to give my friends. I think they will like it!
