“My friend and I had a lovely time today making our coral bowls. Merryl gave us lots of information to help us make our creations and the class was relaxed and fun. We are both very keen to go back and do another course.”
“Absolutely loved this class, Merryl is very knowledgeable and the studio is impeccable and a lovey space to work in. The concept itself I found much easier than I had anticipated, cutting and laying out the cut glass in an organic way was very relaxing and fun. A great activity to do on your own or with friends, I intend to return and make some more bowls as special gifts for family and friends. Thank you for a very informative and enjoyable class - I highly recommend this class and I can't wait to see my finshed bowl!”
“This was an amazing class and our first Class Bento experience. What a day! My dad and I have never done any craft that involved glass before and Merryl was a fantastic teacher who went through the cause and effect that could be expected when creating shapes using short rectangles and multiple layering of glass pieces to create a desired outcome. I love organic shapes, but opted for a bowl that would be slightly more symmetrical and mandala-like in design, while my dad went for a look that would allow the glass when fused to go however it wanted. Merryl was able to help give us smaller pieces and ensured that our designs would work and stick, but the creative expression was on the whole ours. We are looking forward to our pieces being fired and hope that they look just as amazing as the ones in the photos as part of this experience.”
“Lovely afternoon learning the art of glass fusion. Really well organised, set up and lots of flexibility. Calm, creative and engaging Teacher. Loved how easily I could pick up this craft and hearing about how the glass is made and where it comes from. This is for everyone at any level.”
“Our instructor, guide and colour mentor :) went above and beyond, provided hints and what would take things to the next level without diminishing our idea. lots of materials to use (perhaps too much choice :D), the hardest thing is waiting till you can get your finished work, but its worth it. Would definitly do another class.”
“Absolutely loved our session here- Merryl was an amazing instructor and we got on so well with the other participants. We are looking forward to seeing our finished pieces and taking more classes here!”
