Recent reviews of Beginner's Fused Glass Decoration Workshop

  • 5/5 from Ros J, attended Mar 2026: This was the first time I had worked with fused glass and I'm not a particularly creative person but I do enjoy trying new things. April provided all the tools that we needed including safety glasses and gloves, and, as they are small classes (up to 7 people in total), she was able to give each of us the attention that we needed. She showed us how to score glass and shape it as needed with the tools provided. In 2 hours, we all made two decorations - a flower and a heart from her templates and we had complete freedom as to the colour of glass that we chose for our decorations. Obviously you won't be able to take home your creations on the day of the workshop as they need to be put in the kiln for about a week before April sends them out to you (or you can collect them). After the workshop, April places a little loop in each of them so you can hang them at home. I'm pretty pleased with my decorations for a first timer! I've attached photographs of the before and after to show what to expect from the class and also how the fusing process changes the appearance. In conclusion, April teaches her craft really well and I would thoroughly recommend this workshop to anyone. I do wonder if a Christmas tree decoration themed fused glass workshop could be fun too. ;o)
  • 5/5 from Janis Thomson, attended Mar 2026: April is an excellent tutor. She provides clear instruction and offers support as needed. The class was thoroughly enjoyable and I’m very happy to recommend it.

April is passionate about all techniques in glass. She became captivated by its luminosity, jewel like radiance and ability to cast shadows of colour. Her own creative practise involves traditional stained glass techniques and warm glass techniques such as fusing. Her work is inspired by nature, folkloric stories and aims to bring about beauty through light.
April teaches in her workshop at Rock Farm in Shepton Mallet. She has also trained as a Stained Glass Conservator at Holywell Glass in Wells and ran therapeutic art sessions for the Charity One25. Her approach to learning is to encourage and problem solve. Being dyslexic herself she understands that repetition and clear instructions are important to help learners get the most from her workshops. Her main aim is for her students to have fun, gain some confidence in a craft and leave with something uniquely beautiful.
