I attended the class on Sunday night. Helen, the teacher was great. Very relaxed, approachable and helpful. Her instructions were clear and the aim was to have fun! I was surprised by my results and produced about 7 pieces. The hardest decision was choosing just four that I could get fired and glazed. Some of the first pieces were very little and it would have been nice to keep them as momentos, but not worth an extra $5 for the priviledge. We also had a choice of 4 glazes but you could only chose one colour for all your pieces. A bit disappointing :-(( Overall it was a good experience. Just the couple of changes I raised could make it a great experience though. Thank you.

I loved the experience and Prue is a lovely and very interesting person. The venue was great and inspiring with exhibits of creative work on display. The looms are lovely and very easy to operate. Prue did an introduction about Saori Weaving and herself and we introduced ourselves so the team would get to know each other. There were only 5 people in the class so it was intimate. Prue then ran through about 5-6 different techniques which were not too difficult but I would have appreciated some reference notes as it was all a lot to take in, in such a short time. I would have liked a bit extra time. Either making the class from 10-4 or spending less time on the introduction and more on the technique and allow more time on the loom.

I have never done glass blowing before and had no idea what to expect. I must admit I was very excited and a little nervous. But it was an AMAZING experience. The teacher, Nick was very patient and put us all at ease. The class was small only 4 people and it was encouraging to watch the other people create their pieces. Also being able to see work from previous classes gave us an idea of what we could achieve. The whole session was a lot of fun and I can’t wait to see how my pieces turn out . I plan to come back for more fun
