It was a surprise birthday gift to a good friend of mine, The teacher was profesional, good natured and made the whole experirence easy to understand and we both walked away unqiue scents. I would definately go back again - great for personlied Chritmas gifts, BIrthday treats and to create a unique scent rather than over the shelf usual sents. Would highly recommend + more

Excellent session, expertly guided. Went in with pretty low expectations about what I'd be able to produce as a total first timer, but managed to produce 3 'olive' dishes. It was great fun and I was joinedExcellent session, expertly guided. Went in with pretty low expectations about what I'd be able to produce as a total first timer, but managed to produce 3 'olive' dishes. It was great fun and I was joined by my bestie (this was my birthday gift to her) and she loved it too! She was another first timer and produced 5 varied items. All credit to our teacher who was really patient and helpful, rescuing many pots which had gone array. Wouldn't hesitate to recommend it - book it! You won't regret it! + more

Ffion was a fun, bubbly and great teacher/facilitator, providing helpful guidance and tips (and a great selection of pressed flowers/leaves) but also giving us time and space to enjoy the experience with each other. We also learnt a very cool and unique new skill of copper foiling, which was very interesting. Highly recommended! + more

I made a circularI had a wonderful time with Claire making a bowl using fused glass. I wasn't sure what was involved but Claire was patient and explained everything really well. The four hours just flew. I made a circular flat shape which will be and shaped into a bowl by Claire during the firing process, and I can't wait to see the finished article after it is fired. It will be ready to collect in a couple of weeks. I'd recommend Claire to you if you want a fun, relaxing day out or if you want to give a special gift to a friend. She also sells her work which is beautiful and would make a lovely gift. Thank you Claire. + more
