I'm an experienced artist, working across the fields of painting, print and fused glass, with works exhibited in London and New York. I love working with glass in particular, as it gives a tactile feeling that's often missing in this increasingly digital world.

I can't wait to share my skills and experience with you, helping you to create beautiful fused glass art of your own!

The class was so much fun! Nadine is an excellent teacher, full of advice and recommendations, and guided everyone in the class on colour and material combinations to make our designs come to life. The materials provided were all beautiful. As I was a little slower than the rest, Nadine allowed me to stay a little after the class ended to finish my last piece. And the room was well heated - as I had cycled there in the rain, Nadine was happy for me to put my wet clothes on the radiator to dry! Thanks for being so accommodating.

Tatiana Zapolskaya • Nov 2023

It’s been a great experience, Nadine was very professional and supportive, the atmosphere was inspirational and relaxed, working with multicolored glass was a pleasure! Looking forward to see the results :)

Rosie Shayler • Nov 2023

I had such a great day with Nadine making my bowls, there was a fabulous range of colours and materials and everything was explained very well. The length of the class was perfect too

Dirk • Nov 2023

Really interesting class! Super welcoming instructor, loads of materials to choose from and plenty of support throughout. Was able to make four very different pieces and I can’t wait to see what they look like after the kiln!

Robbie Giannelli • Oct 2023

Our glass fusing workshop with Nadine was the perfect birthday gift. Nadine was so welcoming and really put us at ease even though we are not arty people. She encouraged our creativity to a point where we were creating without thinking. As a teacher she was fantastic, but moreover she allowed us to be free and create without judgement. I would reccomend making glass with Nadine for anyone who, like me, remembers the joy of drawing as a child but hasn't had the pleasure of doing so as an adult.

Teacher's response

Thank you so much for taking the time to write such a thoughtful review. It was a pleasure hosting you both last weekend and hope the rest of the birthday celebrations went well. The tiles have just had their first firing and look great, I hope you find the perfect place to display them at home.

All the best,
Nadine

Absolutely loved it! I wasn't at all confident but the atmosphere was so relaxing and allowed you to feel safe to make mistakes and finally exceed expectations by the end of the session. I'm certainly returning with friends xx

Lovely morning spent getting creative and learning new skills. Great teacher and lovely space to learn how to create our glass pieces.

This class was excellent - Nadine started off with some history on the glass fusion technique, also sharing her own introduction to the art form.

She gave very clear guidance about how we should approach creating our pieces, which was helpful to a beginner such as myself. There was a wide array of materials from which to choose. I found it much easier to get a hang of glass fusion than other ceramic forms that I have tried. We were all able to make 4-5 pieces, which I felt was a good amount for a one-day workshop. I would consider taking this again in the future!

Great fused glass class at E3 studios with Nadine. Easy to follow instructions, lots of guidance on best ways to accomplish ideas and very relaxed atmosphere. Would love to do/learn more.
Plenty of parking at venue but v. expensive - £19 for 4 hours!

Great class, really interesting experience and the time went very quickly!
Was a small class of 6 people so plenty of time to get tips and support from the teacher. Would recommend!

Chandini Kumari-Webster • Jun 2023

Thank you, very relaxing and enjoyable morning. Great teaching and loved the process of making the glass.

Lia Johnson • Jun 2023

Really fun class. Easy to follow and the teacher was helpful. Small size so you really feel like you're getting good amount of attention. It involved cutting glass, which I wasn't aware of but the tool they had make it easy to cut. Recommended.

Robin Ramsurrun • May 2023

This was a great class to try something new and creative. Nadine gave a quick but thorough introduction and we quickly got stuck in with making our pieces. She continued to provide guidance through the class and had examples from other classes and suggestions for how to make something work. A very accessible and enjoyable experience.

The teacher Nadine was wonderful. Warm, helpful, informative and supportive. The place was comfortable. We were offered tea and coffee with cookies. All the material and equipments were provided. The variety of glass was impressive and plenty.
My daughter and I made several small bowls. We can’t wait to see the result after they are Nadine puts them in the 900 degree kiln.
Overall, we had a wonderful time. It was a great experience.

Michael Goldhill • Apr 2022

Nadine is an absolute delight . We were a trio of elderly brothers celebrating the 70th birthday of one. Another had not done any 'art' since leaving school. We were all engrossed in the technique of fused glass and Nadine helped us all to achieve our aims, whether they were practical (a new number for the front door) or simply artistic.
A thourghly enjoyable morning

Jenny Leuba • Mar 2022

The tutor was absolutely lovely and incredibly helpful! The glass making itself was so much fun and excellent if you looking for a group activity with a close friend on partner. I cannot wait to receive my made glass!
