Recent reviews of Copper Foiled Feather Workshop

  • 5/5 from Mara Hernandez Diaz, attended Jun 2026: Amazing experience! I had high expectations for this class and I was not disappointed! The tutor is lovely and ever so knowledgeable. I had the best day and I was very sad when it came to an end. I will for sure attend other glass classes offered at this venue. The tuition was of great quality - lots of patience and the material and tools provided where of high quality. Health and safety was also great. We were given many tips in case we decided to take this as a hobby at home. I walked away really excited to buy a kit and try it at home as well. The venue is lovely and conveniently located. Plenty of parking around and a few coffee shops to grab something to eat if needed.
  • 5/5 from Amber Wheeler, attended May 2026: Such a lovely day! The teacher was great and explained everything really well and made everything feel doable. It was so nice to go home with the finish product and not have to wait for it to be finished further.
  • 5/5 from Teresa Beever, attended Jan 2026: I’ve had the BEST day! What a great day. I’ve always wanted to do something creative but with little talent or ability ‘ art’ was not for me. This was great. There were four of us on the course and we all came away with something to be proud of. I’m so happy! It was a great way to spend the day and a wonderful distraction from the day to day hum drum. I’ll be signing up for more.
  • 5/5 from Sharon Benton, attended Jan 2026: Lovely class. Very experienced and patient teacher, Karen. Loved making my beautiful glass feather
  • 5/5 from Kerry Clear, attended Jun 2025: I had a great time at the copper foiling glass workshop on Friday 20th June. Karen was a great teacher and was happy to share her knowledge with us all. I am going to have a go at making some more copper foil glass items soon. Thank you Karen for the workshop and I will definitely recommend you and the creative space to friends. Thanks again. Claire
