The Glasshouse

New front door and bespoke glass panels - beautiful poppies - very proud to be part of making such a fitting tribute

New windows fitted - what a difference! Now to restore the stained glass and pop that back in as the final touch. 😊

Handmade curved pieces of glass had to be made to fix the broken piece in this beautiful lantern.

New door fitted, new panels complete. The compass design has even been designed and fitted so it really does point north! Thank you to our customer for allowing us to be part of this project - we love it

We have some Christmas decorations and a Christmas curve still waiting to be picked up 😊 we will be open Friday and Saturday for collections. Please message us to arrange collection.

Busy time making these door panels

Just been sent these by Jen - made during our Christmas Curve class. Absolutely gorgeous!!!!!

Look who we found snuggled up in The GlassHouse Christmas Tree.......sssshhhhh 😍

Hello Xmas dec makers. Your decorations and curves are ready for collection. Our apologies but we will be closed Friday and Saturday - sorry. Back open as usual from Monday 😊

Went to the Glass House last Saturday with my daughter to make 3 fused Christmas decorations each to hang on the tree. Loved every minute of it, was so interesting. The ladies who ran the class were very patient & nothing was a problem, we're hoping to do a stained glass workshop next. I can definitely recommend the Glass House.

Well what can I say what an absolutely brilliant day I have had today. I attended the beginners class not knowing a thing about working with glass. Angela and Derek are so patient and encouraging you cant help but feel at ease. The class was six strong which ment that we all had a chance to ask questions and have help. The training style is relaxed and a lot of fun. I cannot recommend this course enough its superb. Thank you everyone for making it a great day.

This was a lovely surprise from my daughter for today's copperfoiling class. Just like the last glass fusing class we did just before Christmas, the session was really enjoyable, the tutors are so friendly and helpful when you need it. I would encourage anyone to give it a go . It's lovely to bring something home that you've made yourself and made some lovely memories too. Thank you to the glasshouse.

Thank you for the wonderful Angel workshop this morning. We all came away impressed with our work. Everything was explained clearly and we were guided at every step.

Will be keeping my eyes peeled for more copper foiling .

Thank you for my beautiful, seaside-y window. It makes me happy every day!

Supportive and friendly class . I was initially nervous about working with glass but by the end of the workshop I wanted to do more . A great way to spend the day .

Previously attended the Christmas fused glass workshop and enjoyed it so much, such a friendly atmosphere and great items made. I always keep and eye out for other workshops The Glasshouse hold. I was lucky to win a competition for today to attended a Copperfoil workshop. It was just amazing from start to finish. Great 121 help when needed, Sara was so friendly and a pleasure to have as a teacher. I would highly recommend all the workshops, if you're unsure, book it now. You won't regret it!! You may get hooked though! The work around the shop is unbelievable, so beautiful � Thank you GlassHouse for an amazing day x

On a beginners stained glass workshop yesterday. Had a fabulous time! Instructors were very patient, even when I made a faux pas! Rectified the issue in seconds. Came away with a lovely picec of stained glass. Now intend to take part in the intermediate class.

Would recommend all day long

Love this place, a great fun day out (or several evening!) and you get to come home with something you’re so proud of having made!

I have used Derek for many many years.

From restoration to re-production, also for bespoke pieces for my customers.



Always a top notch service, matched with top notch work.



Wouldn't go to anyone else.



5* from me.

I had a really great time making fused glass Christmas decorations. So friendly and helpful. I can't wait to see them hang on my tree and for many years to come. I must book myself in to try one of the other classes. Thank you. I highly recommend The Glass House.

I am writing this review on behalf of my mother who is not on Facebook. She attended your class yesterday morning and absolutely loved it. The class was excellently ran, friendly and very enjoyable. Everyone was made to feel very welcome and she produced two beautiful decorations. Which will take pride of place on the christmas tree this year. She will definitely be attending another class and recommending your fabulous company to everyone.

Had a large stained glass window in a hardwood frame removed from my house and it was modified, refurbished and then encased in a triple glazed unit. The finished article is stunning. My thanks to the The GlassHouse team. Would highly recommend them.

Had a great time on one of your fused glass classes which I received as a gift for xmas and attended the hearts coasters and magnet class. Lots of fun, great atmosphere, helpful and friendly staff.

Had a great morning with Angela, Sarah and Derek. Now have 3 lovely Chrismas ornaments. What a lovely way to spend Saturday morning. Lovely kind people - thank you for your time today. Really enjoyed it.
