The workshop itself is laid out very well with anything that may be needed not far from hands reach. Michelle was warm and inviting from start to finish and the lunch prepared was fantastic.

This studio is located in a beautiful, peaceful rural setting. Michelle is a wonderful host, with very entertaining stories and is so knowledgeable regarding glass art. She has some amazing pieces in her studio. Would really recommend it for groups, families or a day out with friends. She also provides a wholesome homemade lunch. I'm looking forward to visiting again. Claire (Sea Dew B&B)

I enjoyed visiting and working on my first piece of fused glass. It was a Boat and Michelle suggested I have it mounted on toughened Glass - Brilliant idea! Thank you Michelle. It was a great day and the class enjoyed lunch at the long Table surrounded by many wonderful pieces of her Fused Glass Creations - Michelle is a Very talented Artist.

Had an absolutely fabulous time and learnt new craft. Michelle is so great with all the tips, trucks, ideas, stories! Really recommend a full day, as you get to try two techniques, and have a great craic over lunch too is a super cosy and friendly atmosphere in a lovely sunroom. I was at two full day workshops and also went to a Memory 1/2 day workshop, where we were making pieces in memory of those we lost, and it was a very touching and friendly event where we could chat, support each other and share stories of those we love and lost. Whichever workshop you go yo, you are guaranteed to end up with your own masterpiece from top notch materials. Would put 10 stars if i could ☺️
