Lewa Glass acknowledges the traditional custodians of all the lands of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples. I honour the sovereign spirit of the children, their families, communities and Elders past, present and emerging. I also wish to acknowledge and respect the continuing cultures and strengths of Indigenous peoples across the world.
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!
I just wanted to say Thank you for firing my jewellery pieces and making them look so good.I had a lot of fun in the session itself . It was the highlight of my week.
Fused Glass Jewellery Workshop
Never done anything with glass before but that didn’t matter. Shea was a great teacher, very patient and well organised. Different kinds of glass were used to make earrings and pendants. We learnt different ways to create colourful glass fusions. Class is good value.
