Fused Glass Course - Christmas Lantern and Decorations

My daughter bought me this course and I loved it. Best present ever! I made so many decorations as well as a lantern and I learnt so much about fused glass. Hilary and Linda are lovely and so knowledgeable. I will definitely be back - I'm hooked!

Angela Wright

Balti Cooking Class

Attended Steve’s Balti class as a birthday present for my son. It didn’t disappoint. Although initially hesitant about booking something in someone’s house, it all worked out very well and was a great success. We were able to write down the method and ingredients so we can recreate at home.Maybe a handout would have been easier? We took pens and paper as suggested. Loved the cooking part + more
