My partner and I did a full day stained glass course with Vicky and Vic. They could not have been more accommodating or friendly, they’re both really lovely! We were pleasantly surprised by how much freedom we were given (even as complete beginners) to choose our own designs and do the work ourselves.
Lunch was also delicious and Vicky made us feel very welcome in her home! Would definitely recommend anyone to give it a go!

A friend and I had an excellent morning doing fused glass with Vicki, she was very patient and really explained things well. We were both amazed by the things we achieved to do. Would certainly recommend.

Another fab and fun session fusing glass with Vicky. This time we took the big kids (aged 30) and they said it was 'just the best' time. We planned in advance of the day so that we didn't waste time deciding what to make - definitely recommend this.
Vicky is helpful, positive, encouraging and has loads of options with glass and equipment to help you make a beautiful piece (or two) out of fused glass. Highly recommended. Thanks Vicky.

Thank you for making my 22nd birthday so special Vicky! Me and my mum had a wonderful experience doing the glass fusing workshop, we also love the art we made and the experience that you gave us was excellent.
I would 100% recommend everyone try this at least once in your life!
Thank you so much.

Kingcot gallery shows and sells a range of lovely hand crafted pieces of art in different mediums.
They also run glass fusing crafting courses, which is what we booked ourselves in for.
The course lasted the whole day and we were looked after very well by Vicky who owns the gallery. Plenty of tea and coffee were provided along with lunch.
Vicky thoroughly explained the different ways we could work with the glass and helped us realise our ideas by supporting us throughout the day, guiding us but letting us create the work.
We had time to make a few panels (the quantity you achieve will depend on your style and the detail you add).
So, we have left out panels with Vicky for fusing in the kiln and will return to pick them up in a few days.
The anticipation of how they will turn out is quite exciting 😊. The photos show the pre-fused panels, once fused the edges soften and join together hopefully creating lovely glass pictures that we hang with the light behind to illuminate them.
If you want to try something new, we thoroughly recommend a day of glass fusing at Kingcot gallery with Vicky.
Ok, so the new pictures attached show how the glass turned out. I'm not an artist but they were great fun to make and will look lovely in our windows.

Absolutely loved our glass fusion workshop. Vicky is very relaxed and knowledgeable and gives you guided free reign which was brilliant. Her gallery is also filled with stunning glass and other art and useful items. Well worth the visit!
