• 5/5 from James Banwell, attended Jan 2026: Angie and Steve are the most welcoming and supportive couple. It was one of the best experiences I’ve had. Absolutely worth the money. Myself and my partner will be going back to do the baubles.
• 5/5 from Andrew Curle, attended Jan 2026: Brilliant few hours spent learning some techniques of glass blowing. Incredibly nice and helpful teachers, really knowledgeable and friendly. We made 3 little items and I can’t wait for them to be sent out to me! Highly recommend.
• 5/5 from Allun Johnson, attended Nov 2025: Absolutely brilliant time. Both Angie and Steve were so friendly and welcoming.
• 5/5 from Andrew Connor, attended Nov 2025: Really enjoyed this session, which because the other attendee had to reschedule, became a one to one workshop. This enabled me to make a lot more pieces of glassware than expected which was a real bonus. Steve and Ange are fantastic teachers, moving through the session at a manageable and relaxed pace. Their knowledge and experience are very evident. The time seamed to fly by but it was incredibly rewarding to watch the results of my efforts being stacked in the kiln ready for collection in a weeks time. I can't recommend this experience enough as a really worthwhile way of spending three hours.

• 5/5 from Mike Collins, attended Aug 2025: Absolutely amazing morning spent with Steve & Angie. They were so welcoming and friendly. Steve is a great teacher, very patient and explains everything. The 3hr course is well worth the money and makes a fantastic gift. My wife came to watch and ended up making a bauble herself. Highly recommend!
• 5/5 from Tamsin Christofides, attended Jul 2025: Such a fantastic taster session. Steve and Angie are so welcoming and knowledgable, they know exactly how to make you feel at ease, which is impressive given that glass blowing is such a skilled art. We made a few different pieces using different techniques whilst being talked through the process. I would highly recommend the taster session. We have already decided to gift the bauble making session at Christmas! Thank you Steve and Angie, absolutely unforgettable!

• 5/5 from Sarah Bird, attended Mar 2025: Great fun! Loved my glass blowing workshop, which was a 60th birthday present from my parents. Steve and Angela were great - very informative, supportive and friendly. Steve is clearly a highly skilled craftsman in his trade, but he, along with Angela, were very patient and able to explain what I needed to do, while creating a relaxed atmosphere. I made some lovely items (vases, handleless jugs and a bauble). They are now cooling and I can’t wait to get them! I would highly recommend this to anyone wanting to try something new. Many thanks Steve and Angela!
• 5/5 from Michelle Topham, attended Mar 2025: Absolutely amazing morning!! A wonderful hands on class, learnt loads and made a few different items.

I'm hoping to return to do it all again at some point. Thank you!!!

• 5/5 from Katherine Newbery, attended Jan 2025: Amazing experience, I would highly recommend for everybody. I was a little nervous going in but the team did such a great job of settling those nerves and making us feel at home and like pros from the very beginning. My partner was also very welcome to come and watch. The output of the class was great with 1 of the 4 pieces I made now sitting Pride of place on our mantel piece.
• 5/5 from Serena, attended Oct 2024: I received this class as a gift having always wanted to try glass blowing, and it was even better than I had hoped! I wasn’t sure how much complete beginners would be trusted to do with glass blowing, and quite how much we may be involved, but Steve and Angie were fabulous instructors! They did expert demonstrations and step by step instructions guiding us throughout, with really positive, helpful feedback. We were encouraged to try things out ourselves with both Steve and Angie close by to guide us and step in if we needed them. The Studio is a really comfortable space, and Angie checked in frequently to make sure that we felt confident enough, and did only what we were comfortable with being completely new to working with hot glass. I was so pleasantly surprised with how much I was able to do myself to create four pieces to take home. I could not recommend the class and this studio enough, 3 hours flew by and I had such a lovely morning learning a new skill. I will definitely be back, thank you so much!
• 5/5 from Paula Jones, attended Jun 2024: Brilliant workshop for location, tools and most of all the teacher Steve and assistant Angela. They really put you at your ease and talk you through every step of the process. It was great that there were only 2 of us and managed to create 4 lovely pieces. I would love to have a go again and progress a bit further. Great value for money compared to similar classes. Again Steve and Angela were brilliant with their support and encouragement.
• 5/5 from Mark Morrison, attended Jun 2024: Steve and Angie made the whole experience a real enjoyment. Our first time trying this, it didn’t feel like we were in a class. We were able to make 4 items each and there was no pressure of time which meant it was a really relaxed atmosphere.Such a great time, I can see why people get addicted to this fascinating skill. Definitely going back and definitely recommend it to anyone thinking of giving it a try.
• 5/5 from Joan Clark, attended Apr 2024: Super friendly and professional! Steve and Angela couldn’t have been more welcoming and reassuring. This treat was a Christmas present that I eventually got round to booking. I’m famously clumsy so was apprehensive but with their expert guidance managed to deliver 4 items. Small group number means there is plenty of hand-on time. Can’t wait to see the finished products once fired! Thank you both for a great experience
• 5/5 from Emma Hooper, attended Jan 2024: The glass blowing workshop was fantastic. I had a fab experience. I am a complete beginner never having done anything like this before. The instruction from both Chris and Steve was top notch. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend to anyone wanting to have a go. Thanks so much for a super memorable experience!
