John Dunn - testimonials

Hi John,

I just wanted to thank you for a marvellous course the other weekend.

I had a great time ‘making’ glass things again, and I really found your method of teaching helpful.

I got a real buzz opening the package when it arrived – I love the piece with the pink background (it was what I was trying to envisage.) And it is likely to be given to my mother as an 80th birthday present – assuming that i can bear to part with it!

I hope to be able to come back down to Brighton for one of your manufacturing days once my diary becomes a little less hectic.

With many thanks,

Jill (March 2010)

Hi John hope I don't sound too impatient, but would like to know when to expect the bowl I made on Sunday.

Hope the firing and slumping went well. As you can guess, I can't wait to see the end product.

I also wanted to thank you very much for running the course. I really enjoyed it and am full of ideas. Everyone I know is asking about the course and admiring the pieces i brought back. My son has commandeered one of them already and two friends have their eyes on others.

Also thank you for yours and Jan's kind hospitality, it made a big difference to me having lovely friendly people to talk to and keep company with.

I would definitely recommend this course to anyone, from creative beginners to experts needing advice. Its amazing the amount of skill and advice you receive from a weekend course! You learn everything from how to make dichroic glass pendants and earrings, where to buy your supplies, how to work the kiln, and how to sell your jewellery. You get the chance to experiment and find out what works well, and the outcome far exceeds your expectations! John Dunn is friendly and experienced so you feel like your in good hands, and he gives you one on one help and guidance. Its a pleasant environment right on the beach, and a brilliant ego booster when you receive compliments on something you made. An experience that is worth every penny!

P.S. Thanks for the glue advice! I know your busy so much appreciated.

Thank you for sending my pieces through they all arrived safely WOW WOW WOW!!!! Theres a few more!!! I was really pleased with a couple of the pieces but I now know where to go with what works and what doesnt and have definitely learned from my mistakes!!

I had a fantastic time on the course and cant wait to start fusing glass myself. Im looking into buying the small kiln on the Warmglass website that you suggested.

The only thing im having problems with the moment is that I would like to buy some of the black glass that we used as a base for the pendants etc and I cant seem to find it on the Warmglass website... Would you have a name of the glass? Also Is it 2mm or 3mm? I also want to buy some of the clear capping glass. As soon as i know this info I can get started!! Cant wait!!!

Hi John,

Just thought I’d let you know that I am now a proud owner of a kiln. I invested in a Skutt Hotstart and I love it.

I’m really enjoying experimenting with it; in fact I’m a little obsessed actually. I’ve been doing necklaces and earrings, but hope to move onto larger things in the next few months.

Thanks for the fantastic head start that you gave me,
