Recent reviews of Glass Fusing Workshop for Beginners

• 5/5 from Carolyn Dennis, attended Sep 2023: I had a great day learning about glass fusing. Fleur was a very knowledgeable and patient teacher. I was pleased to have several options of what I could make for my main piece - it was hard to choose! Am excited to pick up my finished work in a few weeks and see how it looks.
• 5/5 from Brian Wigg, attended Jul 2023: Teacher was very knowledgeable and ran a very informative course. The venue was well set out and equipment in good working order and introduction session on the machinery was wee presented. The course was far better than my expectations.
• 5/5 from Sharyn Fitzgerald, attended Jun 2023: Had a wonderful day learning all about techniques for creating amazing glass pieces. Meryl was so knowledgeable and helpful and explained in clear and understandable ways what was required. Really enjoyed trying different techniques for some smaller pieces working our way up with confidence to complete one big piece. Highly recommend this class for an introduction to glass works and the confidence to undertake new pieces!
• 5/5 from Rebecca Walker, attended May 2023: These classes are so much fun, they do at a comfortable pace ave meryl knows her stuff! And I always love who I meet highly recommend
• 5/5 from Jan Lamb, attended May 2023: Had a great day, felt like I was in Aladdin’s Cave very inspirational. We were made very welcome by Merryl and helped us when we needed it, can’t wait to see final results
• 5/5 from Winter Stagg, attended May 2023: Meryl! How do I start! Just a born teacher, one of those people who can command a room, answer even the most esoteric of questions AND be clipping glass with a giant pair of rubber tipped steel shear things all at the same time. Its is a MASSIVE space too, so you can really stretch out and spread your creative wings. All day long students come in and out to work on their projects and you get so see some amazingly inspirational works! I myself am a lil bit scared of flying shards of glass (some old hospitality injuries) but though the studio is bright and fun absolutely everything is done safely and meticulously. I myself have some spinal trauma and nerve issues like tremors nope, no worries, have a cuppa, i'll show you how to do what you need to you are welcome here. This is the workshop you want to go to to LEARN and maybe just as importantly laugh. Unfortunately our works are still in the oven so all i have is this photo of some unfused pieces, cute, but they do not look anything like the amazing outcomes!

Meryl has obviously perfected the class. There is help and support if you need it too. You make a lot of things and I can’t wait to see them after they’ve been fired. I loved every minute I’d highly recommend this class.

• 5/5 from Kerrie Bridson, attended Nov 2022: An amazing and patient teacher who really enabled you to practice the techniques before completing a final piece.

• 4/5 from Dorothy Correa, attended Jan 2022: Teacher - because of the need for face masks, the teacher needs to speak louder. Class was informative and enjoyable.

Everyone in the class was friendly, including the teacher and assistant. Regards Dot Correa
