  • 5/5 from Rebecca, attended Sep 2025: We booked for my mother’s birthday and everything was great!! My mother and I had an amazing time - she was nervous it would be difficult beforehand but loved it so much as soon as we were there. The process of getting a gift card was easy. The atmosphere was chilled and collaborative and Cathy was a great class leader. We’re coming to another class next month and can’t wait to see how our pieces turn out.
  • 5/5 from Nicola Denning, attended Sep 2025: Very enjoyable class, so many lovely colours and patterns to work with
  • 5/5 from Susan Lees, attended Sep 2025: This fused glass pendant workshop session was bought for me as a birthday present. It exceeded my expectations and I really enjoyed it, although the only downside was the time went by far too quickly, I would have happily stayed all day, it was brilliant. Our teacher was very good and did a great job of making sure everyone had what they needed; which was tough, I'm sure, as we were all keen to learn. The venue was super, what a great place and had a really lovely cafe there too, which I used. I am really looking forward to seeing my pendants finished and cant wait to wear them. Super workshop, hope to be able to do another.
  • 5/5 from Sharon Teear-Allen, attended Jul 2025: Ver friendly. And informative. Good class size.

  • 5/5 from Janet Neilson, attended Jul 2025: Small class; individual attention; could work at your own pace; help sought and help given. Most enjoyable.
  • 5/5 from Su Booker, attended May 2025: Lovely mosaic glass pendant making session. So satisfying and well taught by the lovely Cath.
  • 5/5 from Rebecca C M Jones, attended Mar 2025: We really enjoyed our afternoon creating our pendants. The course was quite informal in a relaxed, friendly atmosphere.

  • 5/5 from Jenny Jones, attended Mar 2025: Loved the guidance and explanations. It was a really friendly experience and a fun class
  • 5/5 from Paul R Varley, attended Oct 2024: Occasion was for my Mum's birthday, both Mum and I attended. We were making pendants out of dichromic glass. Materials were a little awkward to sort through but I suppose that's part of the fun! Teacher was very helpful and supportive. Session was great value as Mum and I got to make two pendants and a Christmas tree decoration each for only £40 each, though this will depend on your speed of working. Venue was very nice and appropriate for the workshop. The best parts were that I got to make pretty much what I wanted to, and also that Mum loved her birthday present.
  • 5/5 from Anonymised ClassBento customer, attended Feb 2024: This was a birthday gift and such a lovely present as you get a beautiful keepsake at the end which is all your own work. It was a very calming environment and felt very relaxed. Even if you don’t think you are artistic or creative, you’ll easily get into this activity.
  • 5/5 from Lacea, attended Jan 2024: Very welcoming, friendly and clear instructions given. Looking forward to seeing the final product. Many thanks will definitely book again.
  • 5/5 from Christine Richards, attended Jan 2024: I absolutely loved this craft session. The 2 ladies who run this course were very friendly, approachable, passionate and knowledgeable. I would recommend this class to anyone and will be looking at other courses run by Glass by Design.
  • 5/5 from Mary Tornabene, attended Jan 2024: We made our dichroic fused glass pendants in a 2 hour workshop. Tutoring and materials were first class. Great value for money. We would certainly go again. I can't wait to pick them up from the fusing kiln.
  • 5/5 from Jacqui Caley-Hawker, attended Jan 2024: It was a Christmas gift from my husband's mum who since giving it to us, has passed away. So it was really lovely to have enjoyed the workshop and have a beautiful keepsake to remember her. Well set up & prepared space, good choice of coloured glass, helpful instruction. We all finished just after an hour so it would have been nice to possibly make another one to use more of the 2 hrs. Not sure what it cost so I sense it was a good value workshop. We loved how mindful it was and got us into a lovely zone.
  • 5/5 from Lowri Beecher, attended Mar 2023: What a lovely class me and my friend had, definitely recommend to those just wanting to spend more time with friends or family and have fun whilst doing too. Felt really comfortable and safe there definitely would recommend to everyone.
  • 5/5 from Carol Cooke, attended Mar 2023: I attended this workshop on 22nd March 2023. The tutor was great, the atmosphere very relaxed and informative at the same timehighly recommended.

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.
