Jonathan Rogers and Phoebe Stubbs have set up a new business – Batch offering bench time for rent in their hotshop and teaching for people who are keen to learn.
Jonathan sent me a note to let me know that they will be running a 3 day foundational course from the 27th to 29th of October. This would be suitable for anyone who wants to make rapid improvements in their blowing technique.
They are based in Clavering, Essex.
Seemed like something worth sharing with CGS members and the newsletter.
Please feel free to pass on the information.
