Very happy to be takings bookings for small group workshops (see my public programme below), private workshops for you groups, birthday/hen sessions in your own venues and 1-2-1s. Get in touch for further details.
I pride myself on being very flexible ad with Covid restrictions still in place, my booking process is transparent. Whether it be my venue or yours, a pre determined theme/make or a tailor made session, I am always happy to talk about all things glassy. I can even travel to you, getting outside in summer 2020 was a fun experience, so keep that in mind.
My Facebook Page is the best place to keep up to date with workshops. I love to share my experiments as part of my workshop planning, as well as many gorgeous pieces completed by workshop attendees! Check out my facebook albums (feel free to tag yourself if you’re a glass addict planning your next creations).
If you’re craving creativity or need a gift for someone who is still waiting for the world to settle a bit more I have an option for workshop gift vouchers for Fused Glass workshops to be booked through me at anytime over the next 12 months (due to Covid I will extend if needed). Gift vouchers can also be redeemed against Sparkling Dichroic jewellery, home accessories, art work, or my create-at-home Project Kits.
