“Fantastic Time and really enjoyed our creations”
We went as a couple and really enjoyed our class with Ricky. The smaller classes because of Covid quite us and Ricky gave us plenty of attention as he guided us through the glass blowing process. We had a chance to personalise our pieces and he was happy to help with gentle corrections and advise and we didn't feel rushed. This is a fantastic way to try a totally new art form.
