Class was very informative and interesting. Learnt how to make and use the glass in so many different ways. This was a 70th Birthday present from my family, so glad they picked it for me

Claire gave clear instructions and was very helpful throughout. Everything was very organised and well resourced. Learned to cut glass and different stages of fusing. No problem for complete beginners. A relaxing way to spend a Saturday. I am looking forward to seeing the results once everything has been taken out of the kiln.

I had a great time cutting and creating Can't wait to see the result once it's fused and slumped! I am going to do this again, but the next time come armed with better ideas.

I had a 1:1 lesson in fused and leaded glass. Went with an idea of what I wanted to create and Claire very helpful and informative to help achieve my vision. I am going back for part 2 (leaded glass) where I will complete all things I have prepared in the fused glass session.
All materials provided, plus hot drinks. Look forward to finishing my A4 ‘window’. Very enjoyable, time passes quickly.

We both really enjoyed our time at the fused glass class. Claire was very helpful and encouraging of our work. It was something different and a great birthday present for me to share with my friend.
One slight concern was the difference in time from Class Bento and Claire. I was advised 9am and we geared ourselves up to be there for then. I received an email the night before the class from Claire stating 10am. Fortunately, this suited us both but I think it’s important for Class Bento to establish the correct time before emailing as this could have been problematic.

Claire was a lovely teacher. Her summerhouse provided a great wee workshop space and she provided all of the materials for the project. Claire was friendly, knowledgable and patient. My project is just getting fired and then being sent to me.

Lovely, patient teacher - nothing was too much trouble. Calm & unflustered, she inspired confidence & creativity! Great venue too. Loved my morning doing something totally new.

The teacher explained everything in detail and was encouraging about the ideas and showed us how to use the glass-cuttung tools and select different glass to achieve a variety of effects. The time flew by quickly and we had a wonderful time being creative.
