I loved Jo’s class! Super fun, just the right amount of time for me (2.5 hours) plus Jo is so lovely. Could have just chatted for ages! Plus I made some very cool beads!

I thoroughly enjoyed learning 1:1 from Jo. She is warm, patient, safety concious and knowledgeable. I thoroughly enjoyed stretching myself into new hot glass techniques, and chatting about our mutual love of glass as a medium.
