“I can't recommend this enough. From the moment we arrived, everything was well organised and friendly. Jerry explained both the safety side and the techniques in a really easy-to-understand way, giving everyone confidence to work independently. I loved that each flower turned out completely different, and it was amazing to see everyone's creativity come through. I'd happily book another workshop here.”

“Such a unique workshop. The atmosphere was relaxed, the group size was just right, and I never felt rushed. Definitely one of the best craft classes I've been to.”

“I wasn't sure if two hours would be too long, but the time flew by. There was plenty of opportunity to practise the techniques and personalise the flower with different colours. It felt like a genuine learning experience rather than just following instructions.”

“We booked this as a family activity and everyone had a fantastic time. Holly was so patient with everyone and made sure we all got individual help when we needed it. Such a welcoming studio.”

“Absolutely loved it! I’d seen videos of lampworking before but never imagined I’d get to try it myself. The tutor explained everything step by step, and I left with a beautiful flower that now sits on my desk.”

“A friend and I booked the two-hour course. I'd say it's much more suitable for people who have done something similar before or who naturally lean towards arts and crafts. For complete beginners or newbies, though, I wouldn't recommend it. The environment was relaxing, which was nice, but I felt like we were mostly left to our own devices. We'd occasionally get a comment if we were doing something wrong, but usually about 10 minutes after we'd started, by which point we'd already spent a lot of time heading in the wrong direction. It felt like a bit of a waste and wasn't particularly supportive when trying to learn a completely new craft. Overall, the class felt quite disorganised. It often felt like the three instructors were just having a chat between themselves rather than actively guiding us. We did eventually make something that vaguely resembled what we'd hoped to create, but at the end we were left standing around waiting for our items to be packaged. No one explained what was happening, so we were just left waiting while the instructors continued chatting. The "beautiful gift packaging" turned out to be a small paper bag with some tissue paper, which was a little underwhelming. To make matters worse, my piece literally broke as I walked out the door, and my friend's broke on the way home. Overall, I was very disappointed and honestly feel like it was a huge waste of money. My friend and I regularly do creative art classes around London, and this has to be one of the worst we've been to. We've definitely made some questionable pieces over the years, but this experience was frustrating because, as beginners, we really could have done with more structure and guidance. As I said, I don't think this is a great class for beginners or first-timers. It's much better suited to people who already have some experience or who are naturally quick at picking up arts and crafts. I will say that the instructors were friendly, and all the information and instructions beforehand were very clear. The venue was also easy to find. Unfortunately, the class itself was rather disappointed.”

“This was my first class in a lampwork glass flower workshop and the teachers were super patient in teaching me the different steps. They were very encouraging in their guidance and I learned varied lampwork techniques. I created different shapes and it was a joy to see the different handcrafted glass flowers come together eventually.”
