Hi Shea,
I am emailing to thank you for the enjoyable experience I had at your Melbourne glass fusing class. I consider myself creative but haven’t been able to entertain this creative side in years- so your class inspired me immensely and I can’t thank you enough.
Thank you for all the effort you put into the night. You dedicated time into getting to know each of us individually and generously shared your materials to ensure we were each able to take home some beautiful pieces!
The coffee, tea and biscuits were such a lovely touch. I was so excited to receive my finished earrings and necklaces after you fired them and added the jewellery attachments. I am currently overseas and have received so many compliments on these unique pieces. I cannot wait to book another class with you and take my mother. Please share this as a review- I hope you continue to inspire people with your incredible talent and passion!
Kind regards,
Adele
