"Stuart was awesome, explained the process beforehand and gently guides you through the process, but also lets you have a go independently too. Such a fantastic experience. Cannot recommend it enough."

Dorset Travelbunny.

"Myself, husband and sister in law booked a glassblowing experience with Stuart. Excuse the pun but we were “blown” away. Stuart is very knowledgeable and clearly very talented from seeing the objects in his shops. Total passion for the craft. Highly recommend him."

Tyler H.

"I went and had the “glass bowing experience” on a whim and it turned out to be a fantastic experience. Stuart is a master craftsman and is very passionate about his work, yet he is very patient, friendly and guides you through each part of the process. I would recommend the glass blowing experience to anyone for a truly unique and enjoyable day out"

Jan.

"We visited for the glass blowing experience as part of a civilised hen do! What a great time we had - Stuart is just the best - funny, understanding, very very patient and absolutely top of his art. We will be talking about this for years! Who would have thought we could make proper glassware! Thank you so much."

S. Griffin

"Stuart makes glass blowing accessible, fascinating, exciting and safe. We were a group of 6 and had an amazing afternoon. We can’t wait to receive our 6 creations in the post after cooling in the annealing oven!Stuart’s work on display in the shop is beautiful and you will definitely find something you like. What a wonderful experience ! Thank you Stuart"
