Recent reviews of Fused Glass Workshop - Christmas Hanger / Candle Holder

  • 5/5 from Felicity Cramp, attended Dec 2025: Both Cath, the teacher, and the workshop were lovely. The atmosphere was one of friendliness, patience and professionalism. I loved working with the glass and learned a great deal. Will definitely recommend it to others and will be choosing another class to do.
  • 5/5 from Andrea Freeman, attended Dec 2025: Thoroughly enjoyed the Glass making class with Kath, 2 hours of calm, creative mindfulness. The time flew by. Kath is a great teacher, happy to let you do your own thing, but very happy to help and give suggestions when needed. Ample supply of materials, so you were never short of options for your creation. The venue was lovely, would happily attend more courses, the cafe on site is an added bonus. Would highly recommend this course and hope very much to attend a second one in the near future.
  • 5/5 from Niki Rosser, attended Dec 2025: It was a get together with a friend. Loved the class and enjoyed making my project. Tutor was great despite me arriving late! I can't wait to pick up my finished project once it comes out of the kiln
  • 5/5 from Andrea George, attended Nov 2025: Such a lovely way to spend a couple of hours. Can’t wait to see the finished product.

  • 5/5 from Sandra, attended Nov 2025: A wonderful way to creatively while away a few hours. In such a small group we had as much help and attention that we wanted. We had an amazing selection of glass to create our ‘masterpieces’. I can’t wait to see it fired. I think a voucher for another class will be on my list for Christmas.

Angelina and Cathy met by chance whilst selling their work in Penarth, Christmas 2013. Their shared love of all things glass saw them develop a friendship and continue to work together.
Their first idea was to develop an Open Studio trail for any local artist/crafter during the annual Penarth festival that following summer. It has fast become an established part of the festival and is developing year on year.
They then joined a designer-maker section in a local Penarth shop where their customer base was steadily growing. Customers embraced the idea of bespoke, locally made pieces, rather than mass-produced imported ones that have saturated the marketplace.
Their next logical step was to be able to work on-site and pass their love of the process of hand-making in glass to others. Hence, Glass By Design was born.
