FEEDBACK FROM A SIMILAR EVENT HERE
Loved it. Easy to find and park. Write up spot on. Good value for money. I made 20 beads and awaiting post to arrive. Learned a good selection of techniques. Could work at own pace. I didn't feel rushed but felt like I got a lot done in the time slot.
Absolutely loved it – Sarah was a very good and patient teacher and I was amazed at the amount of beads we were able to create in the session. I struggled to get going and get the knack at first but once it clicked I was away and really enjoying it and had a great afternoon with the other two ladies. It’s absolutely value for money – especially as she does a lot of finishing work afterwards and makes your beads up into a necklace for you. That is amazing.
I would definitely go back again – yes all the way from Manchester – and would love to do any of her other courses. Also loved the venue – fascinating to see a bit of history with the
glass cone and exhibition on site.Thanks very much for putting it on!
This was a really good morning. We were made welcome and given drinks. It was better than I expected, as a small group there was plenty of attention. We were given the basics then showed different techniques and encouraged to experiment. I would definitely do it again.
They have plenty of different options on their leaflet that I noticed - and some gorgeous owl vases made in glass. Maybe we can make vases?
