Recent reviews of Glassblowing Workshop: Taster

• 5/5 from Meg D, attended Sep 2026: Our instructor for the glass blowing taster class was excellent. He gave really clear steps and tips for making our bird sculptures. He also went above and beyond to accommodate my shoulder injury, being my second arm for me and changing the whole set up around so I could work with my left hand. I can't wait to see the results when my husband and I pick up our birds tomorrow!

• 5/5 from Amy Caspar, attended May 2026: Teacher communicated and demonstrated clearly. Was a really lovely guy with a great breadth of experience. Pity my brain finds it hard to do two actions at once, unlike the rest of the class. Very fun and eye opening.

• 5/5 from Elizabet Galaktionova, attended May 2026: If only I could give 100 stars! Absolutely loved this workshop! The class was super easy to follow, really well structured, and just genuinely enjoyable from start to finish. I also loved that the group was small — it made everything feel really friendly and comfortable, like everyone already knew each other ️ Nick was so friendly and accommodating, and explained everything in a way that just made total sense. I originally booked this as a birthday gift for my boyfriend, but honestly… I think it ended up being more of a gift for myself :D And the best part is what you get to take home afterwards! I absolutely love my bird, and it feels so special knowing you made it yourself. Such a fun and different experience — definitely recommend this workshop! 100/10

• 5/5 from Julie Papazisis, attended Mar 2026: A fantastic experience, Justin was simply wonderful!
• 5/5 from Sammie Lee, attended Mar 2026: I honestly cannot recommend Nick and Ruth at ClassBento enough! From the moment we walked in, the entire experience was nothing short of incredible. I booked the Taster class for my partner and I to celebrate our 3-year anniversary, and it turned out to be one of the most fun, memorable things we’ve done together. Nick was absolutely amazing; so welcoming, patient, and genuinely passionate about what he does. He guided us every step of the way, made us feel completely comfortable (even as beginners), and created such a relaxed, enjoyable atmosphere. You can really tell he loves sharing his craft, and it made the whole experience even more special. We laughed, learned something new, and walked away with not only our creations but also such a beautiful shared memory. It was the perfect mix of fun, creativity, and connection. We’ll 100% be back to do the beginner class. This was just the start for us! If you’re even thinking about booking, do it. You won’t regret it.
• 5/5 from Joanne Harrison, attended Mar 2026: Glass blowing review. Christmas present from 3 years ago, life got in the way. Use of molten glass, how to added colour, use of tools & saftey. Teacher was great, assisted when needed but let you make the object, great instructions made this possible. The atmosphere was quite & clean which was a good thing as saftey with the equipment was important. I absolutely loved it, learned alot and could become a very addictive hobby. Here’s a polished version of your review while keeping your voice and experience: I attended a glass blowing workshop that had originally been a Christmas present from three years ago — life got in the way, but it was absolutely worth the wait. We learned how to work with molten glass, add colour, and use the different tools safely. The teacher was fantastic — always there to assist when needed, but also letting you create the object yourself. The instructions were clear and easy to follow, which made the whole process achievable and enjoyable. The studio atmosphere was quiet, clean, and very organised, which was reassuring given the importance of safety when working with the equipment. I absolutely loved the experience, learned a lot, and can definitely see how glass blowing could become a very addictive hobby.
• 5/5 from Limor Glazer, attended Mar 2026: I had a great time in this workshop! The teacher was professional and friendly. It was a great fun! Thank you!!
• 5/5 from Samantha Taylor, attended Mar 2026: Nick was amazing. Explained everything to make sure we came out with beautiful paperweights. It was a fun and inclusive class. Definitely will do another one ️
• 5/5 from Ashley Hastings, attended Mar 2026: Excellent class! Wow, had never done anything like it before -- and Nick was so easy and fun to work with. Great teacher, and with a group of just four of us, we were each so engaged and part of the process. Ruth's studio is fantastic and really inspiring -- will be checking out future classes, and can't wait to see my little bird :)
• 5/5 from Kirsten Gillottie, attended Mar 2026: A lot of fun and great directions from the teacher
• 5/5 from Ron Roach, attended Mar 2026: Teaching/instruction clear and precise. We made a bird bauble.
• 5/5 from Emily Rutherford & Mafruhur Rahman (Gifted To This Person, Booked By Margaret Rutherford), attended Mar 2026: It was very hands on and a really fun creative outlet. The passion for the craft shone through in the conversations with Nick.
• 4/5 from Maryann Liethof, attended Mar 2026: This experience was a gift, so I wasn't sure what to expect. Nick guided us through the safety aspects before demonstrating the awesomeness of working with molten glass. With his ever present expertise and patience, Nick assisted each of us to make a lovely glass bird as a memento of the class.
• 4/5 from Shelley Christian, attended Mar 2026: Nick was a great teacher. Very patient and answered all my questions. Highly recommend doing this workshop! Can’t wait to bring my little bird home to show my family.
• 5/5 from Robyn Frayne, attended Feb 2026: What a Sunday morning we had yesterday. For Christmas presents in 2025 I purchased my husband, my sister, two of my nieces and I a glassblowing taster. As we get older we are looking at sharing experiences together as opposed from recieving a gift. What an experience it was. Nick was our very patient teacher. He was amazing, he talked, guided us through and made it such a fun experience. Choosing the colors for our birds was lots of fun and we were all different in what we picked. We all managed to make a bird, putting our own spin and personality into it. I cannot recommend this experience more, its fun, engaging and being creative on a Sunday morning is a great way to start your day. Nick is a credit to this studio, he adds so much to the morning I have added some photos, they are the before shots. We are picking up our master pieces this afternoon and cannot wait to see how the colors have turned out (they need to cool properly overnight) Do yourself a favour and book yourself in for a class
• 5/5 from David Mehmed, attended Feb 2026: Nick and Ruth were lovely, explaining everything in an easy way. Nick helped when I was struggling and stepped back when I was doing ok, which is what I want in an instructor. I had a great time overall.
• 5/5 from Emma B, attended Feb 2026: Teacher was amazing!! Very fun, supportive and knowledgeable. Knew when to step in and help but did not take over, we still very much made our own birds :) We liked getting to choose our colours (great selection available) and discussing how the amount/ type of colours look in the glass. Was nice to see examples of previous birds made. Absolutely worth it and will recommend to others!! Lovely to see everything the artists have made for sale. Would loved to have purchased some small trinket type glass things. Cute dog too!
• 5/5 from Tracy Kilpady, attended Feb 2026: Our instructor was so skillful but also made it easy to follow along and stepped in to help readily. Great taster if you’re new to glass or need a date night idea!
• 4/5 from Grace Cunningham, attended Feb 2026: A fun time was had making a little bird. Nick was very patient and friendly and was happy to answer any question.

• 5/5 from Chris Mackey, attended Nov 2025: 4 generations with the oldest a neon sign glass blower back in the late 60's! We made birds and paper weights with the most patient and fun host Nick! We loved the thrill of feeling the heat and sculpting molten glass.
• 5/5 from Dean Vards, attended Nov 2025: The whole experience was brilliant. From first impression of workshop, facilities, teacher instruction, the process, to conclusion. I first noticed the super tidy and organised workshop - very impressed. The instructor Nick was superb. One of the best teachers I have experienced. I was very impressed. I loved how he was able to use relatable concepts to explain the intricate glass making process, reassuring me that I could do it. Robyn the assistant was also on point. She was attentive, super focussed on assisting Nick and their teamwork was fluid. Super professional. Their attention to safety was also impressive and reassuring. It made the session feel safe and allowed me to focus on enjoying myself. It is easy to relax when doing a repetitive process, but these guys were always attentive and highly focussed on every aspect of the task. I really could not fault one thing. Ruth, you have an excellent operation and crew! Well done all!
• 5/5 from Martine Nield, attended Nov 2025: Highly recommend - loved it!

• 5/5 from Neville Turner, attended Oct 2025: Great fun class and Nick was great. Looking at booking a longer class to do more and cannot wait to pick up the bird
• 5/5 from Arielle Bateman, attended Oct 2025: Nick was an incredible teacher. Very encouraging and engaging. I made a bird and it came out so great with his guidance. I really loved the hands on technical process of creating in a glass medium. Everyone was really excited to be there and the energy of the class made it even more fun. There were only four people in total so it was a perfect size for each person to get one on one time and support.
