I received a voucher for this glass as a Christmas gift from my BF. It was a great experience and our teacher, Nick, was the perfect guy for the job. It was a nice and relaxed environment and all the tools we needed were supplied. We made a paper weight AND also a tumbler which was a pleasant surprise. Thanks for giving us a great experience and day!!!

Purchased as a gift for husband who was a bit apprehensive about going. He loves woodwork but wasn't sure about woodburning.

The practice wood was really useful moving forward, too. Highly recommend for a relaxing day!

The class was a surprise birthday gift for my sister. She is going through a nasty divorce and has been describing herself as 'broken'.

Brokenness is temporary, just for the moment until we pick up the pieces and make it into something more beautiful!!!
