Welcome I love the excitement of introducing students to creating with glass.
I have been working with glass for over ten years and always feel excited about opening the kiln.Since starting to run courses in 2019 more than 600 students have attended workshops, while many return with family and friends and get the GLASS BUG! All courses are suitable for beginners so don't be afraid to have a go.
Courses are currently run from Oakle Street in Churcham ,Gloucestershire. All courses are suitable for Beginners.
