Wildflower and Copper Foiling Workshop Reviews

5 Rating 74 Reviews

This is a fun activity in Bristol.

Join Ffion at her warehouse studio in Bristol, for a creative, hands-on experience! Use hand-pressed West Country wildflowers to design your piece and learn how to solder up your own glass frame. It's a great chance to try something new, spend time with friends, and take home a beautiful piece to keep forever.

Pregnancy Warning:
The workshop involves the use of soldering irons, flux, and other materials that emit fumes and heat, which may pose health risks, especially during pregnancy. It is recommended that pregnant individuals consult with their healthcare provider before participating. Participation is at your own risk, and ultimately, the decision to engage in the workshop is yours.

“Really enjoyable and the teacher lovely. I was very pleased with my crafted stained glass piece and it is hanging in my window. If driving give yourself an extra 10 minutes to find parking (in case not immediately outside).”

“My girlfriend and I had a wonderful time creating a wildflower design in stained glass. Our instructor, Ffion, was incredibly easygoing and empathetic. She communicated clearly and guided us carefully through each step of the workshop. We’re extremely grateful for this unforgettable experience. However, there are a few aspects that could be improved. We attended the workshop on a very cold day, with temperatures around -2°C. Unfortunately, the building wasn’t heated, and although our instructor provided some heating elements, the space itself was far from cozy or welcoming. To be honest, it was uncomfortably cold—my girlfriend’s feet even went numb. Adding to the discomfort, there was no hot water in the building, which made visits to the restroom challenging. The location of the Mivart Studios (or more broadly, the historic building) was another concern. The surrounding neighborhood felt somewhat unsafe, unwelcoming, and quite dirty. It lacked the convenience of nearby cafés like Costa, Pret, or Starbucks, which could have enhanced the overall experience. Additionally, I would have loved to see a greater variety of flowers and stained glass options provided for the workshop. On a personal note, I felt the price for this event was a bit high considering these limitations. That said, we still had an enjoyable time, and we’re looking forward to trying other activities with ClassBento. Cheers,”

“I arranged the stained glass pressed flower workshop as a birthday surprise for my mum, and it was an absolutely delightful experience! There are 10 of us and Ffion was wonderful instructor. Ffion guided us through each step of the process with patience and enthusiasm. She was incredibly supportive, encouraging us to explore our creativity while providing helpful tips and techniques. The atmosphere was warm and friendly, making it easy for everyone in our group to enjoy the experience together. The end results were stunning! Each of us left with beautiful pieces that we were genuinely proud of. My mum was thrilled with her gift, and it truly made her birthday memorable. I highly recommend this workshop to anyone looking for a unique and enjoyable experience. Thank you, Ffion.”
