Kathryn teaches technical background and practical application, by the end of her classes all students are designing their own original glass beads! More than a year later I could not be happier with the professional instruction and personal attention that Kathryn has given to me, I am really happy with the beads I make now and still refer back to the notes written in class time.

I am inspired by Kathryn&#8217;s knowledge of her art. During the workshop Kathryn skilfully and gently builds up your confidence and skill level, letting you find your style while watching you like a hawk &#8211; not only for your safety but for others around you. At the end of the week we were left with the skills and confidence to continue working with a hothead but also a collection of lampwork to be proud of. Personally this workshop unleashed a skill and passion that I did not know existed. I have since spent countless hours over the torch perfecting my own skills and developing new ones. This has lead to some fantastic commission opportunities for me as a textile artist.
