FAQs

Do I need any experience to take part?

Not at all! My workshops are designed for complete beginners as well as those who’ve tried glass before. I’ll guide you step by step.


What will I make in a workshop?

Depending on the session, you might create a small fused glass piece, a coaster, or a decorative item to take home. Each workshop description will tell you what’s included.


Is everything provided?

Yes — all glass, tools, and safety equipment are included in the workshop price. You just need to bring yourself (and maybe an apron if you like).


Is it safe?

Absolutely. You’ll learn how to handle glass safely, and I’ll be on hand throughout to support you. Safety goggles and gloves are available if needed.


Advice before attending a workshop

Find some simple images you like that might inspire your unique piece of glasswork. If you are designing a kitchen panel or glass handles, your personal colour schemes are also useful to bring with you as reference.


How long do workshops last?

Most sessions run between 2–3 hours. Longer courses may be available for those who want to develop their skills further.


Can I take my piece home on the day?

Not straight away — glass needs to be kiln-fired, which takes time. Your finished piece will usually be ready to collect within 1–2 weeks (or can be posted for a small fee).


Can children join?

Workshops are generally aimed at adults, but older children (12+) can sometimes attend with a paying adult. Please check before booking.


How do I book?

You can book directly by contacting me. Spaces are limited, so booking early is recommended.
