Absolutely LOVED the glass workshop class! Jenie has contagious energy and clearly is skilled and passionate about what she does. We learnt some very fun glass facts and made awesome frame-able pieces! We highly recommend Jenie’s classes 🙂 March 2023
“Brilliantly class, fantastic teacher who guides you step by step through out the entire process and you end up with some amazing jewellery to take home :)”
“Jenie was simply wonderful. She is welcoming, supportive and delightfully embracing.
Being in Jenie’s studio was like ‘coming home’. The art process was mesmerizing. Time just escaped us!”
“Absolutely loved the whole afternoon and can’t wait to sign up for another session. I learned so much and enjoyed every minute!”
“I had a great time and learned a lot about working with glass from Jenie, who is a fabulous teacher. Her studio and the artwork in it is impressive. She was fun. We could even choose the music we wanted to listen to. Can’t wait to see how the cheeseboard I made will look like when it comes out of the kiln.”
“Jenie is a fabulous teacher who instantly puts you at ease and is very good at communicating the theory behind glass fusing.”
“It was a fantastic class both fun and educational. Jenie detailed the type of glass we were working with and how it would be fired once we were finished. We got to try cutting glass before we cut the real colours we wanted. Believe me there is nothing more therapeutic than creating a heart in art glass!
I can’t wait to see how my glass heart turns out.
I definitely recommend this class to absolutely everyone.”
“Jenie is a wonderful teacher! She has a huge amount of knowledge that she’s willing to share. She is very generous with all the goodies in her well stocked glass studio. A fun, informative and inspiring time :)”
“Amazing! Everything about this workshop is Amazing!
I found this workshop a great introduction to working with glass. Jenie is an amazing teacher and her studio is pretty relaxed. I did not finish my piece in the given time but was kindly given the opportunity to come back and finish my piece. Super happy with the outcome of my amazing plate.
Thanks Jenie.”
“All the things you wanted to know about glass art but felt too fragile to ask! Jenie outlines the theory and shows how to do the hands on stuff safely and effectively.
You can be creative with your own design or follow some guidelines and still be creative. And like all artistic endeavors, there are no wrong answers; just individual expression. I’m giving this workshop 5 Stars!
What a great way to escape from your comfort zone!”
“Jenie is a great communicator and teacher. The venue for this workshop was fantastic and full of character. All the tools and materials were provided and well organised. I highly recommend this workshop.”
“Easy to find studio plus Jenie was delightful and very helpful. She gave us a run down of all the types of glass to use. My heart turned out fantastically and I couldn’t be happier. Highly recommended.
“Jenie is a brilliant art teacher with a wealth of knowledge on creating glass art. There were plenty of choice in materials to use and making a plate was a very therapeutic experience. This is getting a five star review from us today. I can’t wait to see my cheeseboard. Thanks Jenie.”
“What a fantastic class! Jenie is a great teacher and very thorough with explaining glass art, the different types and rules of glass that need to be followed when creating glass art. Very relaxed atmosphere and plenty of choice in materials to create wonderful art pieces with. I gave this a big 5 stars!”
“Jenie was a fantastic teacher who allowed us to just have fun and guide us along the way. The 3 hours went way too fast.”
Thanks Jenie. I really enjoyed the immersion in colour! See you for another class of something else creative soon.. Steve.
Jenie’s class was a lot of fun! She creates a very friendly, yet professional atmosphere that encouraged me to be creative and experiment! The colour inks are fabulous to work with and I really loved my finished paintings. Thanks heaps Jennie. I’ll certainly do more of Jenie’s classes.. Joanne
Jenie, Thank you for a very special morning. Your class was very well organized and informative. You were flexible, creative and patient. I look forward to attending another class and have recommended you to many friends. Many, many thanks Alessandra x
“I really enjoyed the glass plate making afternoon class. Most particularly the design thinking kpart, that ended up putting me into a ruminating state which was great. Jenie was happy to answer any questions and her instructions were clear. Very much looking forward to seeing the end result – figuring out how the firing process worked on my piece. Would like to do some more glass work – a great blend of the technical, design and colour! Thanks.”
“We had a great time learning the techniques of Alcohol Ink and came away with heaps of art work. A really great day! Thanks. We loved our experience. We want to book in now for a glass session some time. Next time, I’m going to bring my eldest daughter! Thanks again.!
“We had a great time working in Jenie’s studio. Jenie introduced us to the materials and cutting skills needed for our workshop. A wide variety of materials were available at our disposal and support with skills and ideas was given when needed. The studio is a bright and a stimulating space. This was my second time attending one of Jenie’s workshops. I gifted this workshop to a friend as her Christmas present (so she could make her own present) and worked along side her to share the special time together. I would recommend one of Jenie’s workshops, especially going with a friend. Thanks Jenie!”
“Fabulous fun and lots of support. Jenie made it easier than I had thought it would be and I am happy with the result. Thanks Jenie it was brilliant fun!”
“Jenie is a lovely friendly teacher. Very attentive and helpful. I had a great time to do a heart art. I proposed to do something out of the programmed lesson and Jenie was all supportive and enthusiastic for my idea. Also very generous with her time. I am definitely will be back! “
“A fun and relaxing way to do something creative and learn something new. A great experience! Thank you! I loved the session! “
“Excellent class, with an excellent teacher. Clear and informative instruction in a relaxed and friendly atmosphere. Jenie really knows her stuff, I highly recommend this class. Very happy with my piece, and hope to attend another glass class in the future. Thanks, Jenie, for a fun day. “
“I enjoyed my class very much! Jenie is a great teacher!”
“What a fabulous evening. So much fun and we’re really excited to see what our platters look like once fired. Jenie was so patient and helpful. We couldn’t have asked for anything better. Thoroughly recommend this workshop.”
“This was a great experience, enjoyed in friendly company. Jenie took the time to explain to us the dynamic properties of glass so we’d understand our results. She demonstrated cutting techniques in a careful and safe way. What really excited me was the great range of dichroic glass pieces available to work with as we composed our creations. I’ll definitely be attending more of Jenie’s classes, shes a great communicator and very generous with her assistance and encouragement. “
“Loved doing this class! Went home with an original piece I’m proud of!”
“Such a fun class! Great teacher, will definitely be booking another of Jenie’s classes :)”
My sister and I had a great evening learning about the art of glass plate making. Jenie was very informative and helpful, including providing useful tips and hints. I’m looking forward to future sessions with Jenie.
Jenie’s class was a lot of fun! She creates a very friendly, yet professional atmosphere that encouraged me to be creative and experiment! The colour inks are fabulous to work with and I really loved my finished paintings. Thanks heaps Jenie. I’ll certainly do more of Jenie’s classes.
Jenie was great as a facilator. She gave very good information regarding the venue and where suitable parking was available. All very helpful. Was very patient during the sesssion. Supplied lots of info re glass and offered a variety of choices for the glass jewellery pieces.
Had a great time at this class and came away with a terrific sense of achievement. Jenie provided lots of personal attention so everyone could feel comfortable. Highly recommend it!
“Thank you for a wonderful afternoon Jenie! You are so talented and I feel very lucky to have been able to share some time with you and hopefully absorb some of your creativity!”
“The class taught you about glass cutting techniques and the different results of firing glass. The atmosphere was friendly and Jenie was extremely helpful and generous with guidance and providing materials, tools and examples of other work.
It was really great fun and satisfied my creative urge. I would recommend the class to friends and family.”
“Such a fun class got to learn lot about glass. Had some amazing original coasters in the end. Jenie is a great teacher and so relaxed and informative.”

Jenie was as always very helpful and attentive. So much fun!”

Jenie is a very knowledgeable teacher and makes the class fun and enjoyable for everyone. We had a wonderful time and thoroughly enjoyed creating a plate with our own design.
No prior knowledge needed! Great fun for a girls night out.
This is the second class I have completed with Jenie and I will definitely be back for more!
Highly recommend!”
“I really enjoyed this workshop and highly recommend to anyone interested in working with glass. Jenie has a lovely workshop where she creates a very warm and welcoming vibe.
She took us through all the tools and showed us what to do at the start and then looked on and supported us as we created our pieces.
She is a good teacher, very patient and supportive and a really nice person. I am looking forward to trying out one of her other classes.”
“A fun and informative workshop. Will recommend to my friends.”
“Jenie is such a lovely lady. Is my first time doing this kind of class but Jenie is very patient, she teach me lot of stuff. I really have fun during the class. I will definitely go back again for other classes. Thank you Jenie!”
“It was great! Jenie was good fun and a great teacher, she was extremely help and informative without being prescriptive about how your heart should look.”

“Thank you so much for a fantastic workshop, I learnt so much and loved the theory session just as much as the actual making of the pendants and earrings. I am really looking forward to seeing you again on Thursday to finish them off.” (Marina will come into the studio to add her own “findings” to her jewellery pieces.)
“I had a great time creating a slumped glass plate. Jenie was great, giving us all the help and advice we needed.” Neville.
Janet came to my LIFE’S COLOURS workshop for absolute beginners and created this lovely blue piece of art glass. Janet says of the workshop “I had so much fun and met interesting people at the workshop too. I am going to make more pieces the possibilities are endless and I’m going to make something like this for all the adults in my family. One of the things I like most about this is that I can create something to the tastes of my family and there’ll never be another one just like it. Being in Jenie’s studio actually makes me really happy. Thankyou Jenie very much.”
“I had a great time creating a slumped glass plate. Jenie was great, giving us all the help and advice we needed.”
“Fantastic introduction to working with glass. The class was small and Jenie was such a great teacher and could spend as much or as little time as you needed helping you with the plate design. We had a yummy lunch with another artist. Totally loved it and will be back for more classes with Jenie! “
“I learnt about he various properties of glass, how various firing times totally change the look of the piece, etc. Jenie is very informative and nothing is too much trouble. I look forward to doing another class with Jenie.”
“Lovely relaxed class in an environment encompassing creativity. Jenie’s explanation of the glass process was easy to understand and demonstrates her years of experience too. Jenie’s advice and suggestions throughout the class were purely from the structural perspective and did not interfere with individual styles, which is always appreciated. Great lunch too, shared with other artists in residence on the day. Can’t wait to see my end product and would love to do another class. Its addictive!!!!”
“This was an extremely worthwhile experience, fun, different and creative. Jenie’s instruction was clear and concise without being overly instructional. With all the available choices and possibilities, making decisions was mildly traumatic. I think I rocked in the corner in the foetal position for a short while but eventually made a decision and forged on. I see that this activity could very easily become adictive. Twitch, Twitch. My attendance was by virtue of a gift voucher. Great idea. Lunch was fabulous. The company including other artists ws interesting and enjoyable as was the chance to see their work. This course is a great gift and is the chance to create something truly unique and quirky. Great value!”
“Jenie is great very welcoming and friendly. The class was interesting and even for participants with no glass experience it ws simple to work out what to do. Jenie has lots of “here’s one I prepared earlier” pieces so participants can see the type of effects possible when working with glass as a medium. Can’t wait to see the finished pieces. I enjoyed the experience and would liek to go back to do another calls. Can highly recommend jenie and this class.”
“I had such fun, learning how to make my beautifully coloured pieces of jewellery with Jenie Yolland. I’m amazed at how my first attempts turned out, which is all due to Jenie’s teaching. When wearing a pari of the earrings, I felt qite chuffed by the wonderful comments I received. I’m hooked; so much so that I’ve booked another session so I can make more jewellery for Christmas gifts.” (she wrote this in April.)
“I thoroughly enjoyed learning in a relaxed atmosphere with Jenie willing to share her knowledge and ideas. Was happy with my creations’ that somehow turned out to be wearable pendants! 🙂 “
“I had a lovely night creating my glass heart. Jenie gave us a brief run down on glass cutting and how to work with glass, which was really interesting. Then it was onto creative our pieces. Lots of fun….and my finished heart is beautiful. Can’t wait to hang it on my wall :)”.
“The class taught you about glass cutting techniques and the different results of firing glass. The atmosphere was friendly and Jenie was extremely helpful land generous with guidance and providing materials, tools and examples of other work. It was really great fun and satisfied my creative urge. I would recommend the class to friends and family.”
She added a note to say that she “totally enjoyed your class and walked away feeling as though I had really achieved something. Your patience, assistance and willingness to spend extra time and find the right materials was greatly appreciated. 5 star”
What a great workshop – that was the best 4 hours I’ve spent and I thought it was going to be fun it was so much more fun even than that. Annie, Blackburn North.
Best workshop! See the heart I made, its hanging in my living room now everyone loves it almost as much as I loved making it.
I did the Life’s Colours first. Here’s the piece I made that time.
I’m going to do another one of Jenie’s workshops.
I had seen Jenie’s splat clocks and splat wall features in a gallery and needed something creative and special for a wedding we were going to in London.
Jenie created this 38cm wide splat in black and altered it from a flat wall unit to a 3 dimensional piece. She packed it really well so that I could take it safely on board our flight to London.
The wedding gift was so well received I can’t thankyou enough.
As soon as the happy couple opened the Splat bowl they hung it on their wall and it is still there. The shadows that are thrown from this piece of glass art are simply stunning.
I would work with Jenie again to create something special. Thank you you made the whole process so easy and uncomplicated. Thanks again Jenie Yolland.
I asked Jenie to create a vessel for me that incorporated brown and beige glass. I wanted it to have lots of movement in the glass colours. She made exactly what we wanted. Thanks for your great packaging it arrived safely in BH in record time after you let me know you’d posted it. Thanks.
I purchased this fabulous dichroic 3Dimensional pendant for my mum for mothers day. She loves it and thank you Jenie for packaging it so nicely in the little gold box. Thanks again. I’ll be in contact to get another pendant for her when its her birthday in September.
I saw these colours on a really tiny plate on Jenie’s website and just loved the colours so I asked her to make me a set of 4 coasters that are the same. Since then she has made me 4 more coasters as well as another 4 tiny tiny bowls that match. Each one matches the other even though they are all differnt. The tiny bowls measure 8cms across. I love the way Jenie always responds to her customers and creates what they want. Thanks Jenie.
I saw this on Jenie’s website and just loved the colours, these unusual colours are my absolute favourites. Its like a teal kind of green/blue. I love my bracelet and wear it with all sorts of different colors. thankyou.
I saw this sculpture and knew i had to have it for the foyer of my business in Hong Kong. I am going to add a light to the back of it and it’ll look really good. Thankyou Jenie for packaging it so carefully so that I could carry it through in handluggage without worrying too much about it. Thanks very much again.
I needed something special for my new apartment. I needed something that would sit on the dining table which is central to the apartment, you can see it from everywhere including the outdoor entertaining area.
I saw this colorful platter on Jenie’s website and she made one in all the brightest colours she could. I am so pleased with it.
Thanks for my art work I love it.
My niece loves anything to do with dogs and didn’t know what to give her for a special birthday. Jenie created this artglass platter with little doggie paw prints on it.
Tiffany adores this plate and it has a special place in her house.
Jenie did a good job making the paw prints look so real for Tiffany. Thanks a lot!
I asked Jenie to make me a special platter for my son’s girlfriend’s birthday present.
She created this beautiful piece that is absolutely gorgeous and it sits in pride of place in her new home.
Carla simply adores anything with a butterfly on it and Jenie handcut the butterfly and put it on sparkling iridized glass. I was so pleased that she loved it so much.
I would ask Jenie again to create another piece.
Here is a picture of the white glass in my kitchen here in New York. Thanks its perfect.
I am so pleased that I found you on the internet. This piece is 15″ x 15″ and was really well packed. It went from Melbourne in Australia to me here in New York. It did take ages to unwrap and I was delighted when I eventually saw it all in one piece on my kitchen bench. Here it is. I would recommend using this shop whenever you want something unique for yourself or your friends.
I designed this piece of art glass especially for my Christmas table. I love how the scarlet looks against the turquoise opaque glass. I couldn’t be more pleased with how its turned out. Jenie listened to my needs and has come up with a lovely piece for me. I’ll def be back to create more bespoke items with her. Thanks agan Jenie.
Love our fabulous rainbow clock that Jenie made especially for our home. It sits in price of place we love it. Jenie is easy to work with and delivered the clock to us. thankyou *** jenie.
We took a picture of our new giant leaf cheese platter on our brand new board room table. It looks spectacular. Thanks jenie yolland.
Beautiful!! Carefully packed for shipping! My friends loves the blues and greens you chose for the platter. I can’t beleeve how well you wrapped it. Took us ages to get to the lovely woven fruit platter. She loves it. Thanks so much!!!! Its so much better in real life that I even imagined. thanks again Jenie.
Just thrilled with this letter opener plan on purchasing more items…..:):) such a wonderful person also included a small peace to use as a necklace and not charge…Love this Store.:):)♥..
Easy seller to work with!
I designed my own dessert plates that would show off the desserts that I create.
Jenie created samplers and we altered the design a few times before I was totally happy with the finished pieces. They look stunning on my dining table.
I cannot recommend Jenie highly enough to make something special for entertaining our clients in our newly design home.
Beautiful custom pieces, patiently answered all my questions, finished the order and shipped quickly.
Love them, they look great and they arrived securely. couldn’t be happier 🙂
Thank you to JensStudio for this beautiful platter.
I looks really lovely being designed to sit on the side table in my lounge room.
Jenie was so very easy to deal with, and was very prompt in making and posting the piece of art. Thank you.
“Beautifully made, well packaged and very good correspondence with Jenie. An unexpected, free gift also enclosed which is a very nice touch.”
Absolutely amazing! Exactly what I was looking for – thank you so much! 🙂
Gorgeous bangle and the sparkle wattage is high with this colorful creation. Love that it adds just the perfect amount of bright color to an outfit.
The interactions with the artist were warm and friendly and the package arrived from Australia to Chicago within a few days of purchase. I am very pleased with this purchase and highly recommend this seller.
