What an amazing artist – Such a brilliant teacher and thank you for sharing your amazing gift with us. With you and your wonderful husband you have restored my belief that we can achieve our own dreams.
One of the best weekends playing with colour. I love my pieces and get lots of compliments. So enjoyable and Clare is an amazing teacher.

I wanted to thank you for a fantastic ‘fusing and slumping’ workshop that I attended over the weekend. It was great, well organised, and so informative. The theory and practical sessions blended well, with plenty of time across the 3 projects we did. The full day experience was well and truely worth it!
I had such a great weekend at Clare’s glass fusing course. Her practical and technical knowledge of glass and the equipment is amazing, and the course delivery was set at a good pace. Given her many, many years of working with glass, as well as the equipment used the course is very good value.I highly recommend this course to absolute beginners as well as to experienced glass artists. Thanks again Clare.
I so enjoyed the weekend fusing class. I learnt so much and my appreciation on the talent Clare has in her field grew hourly! Exceptional teaching.
Completed a warm glass workshop. Was a thoughtfully developed course full of information as well as lots of hands on creating. Had a great weekend.

I recently had the pleasure in completing a Lead Light Glass Beginners course with Clare and her assistant David. It is an incredibly well organised and planned two days. Not only did we create beautiful lead light art but as a group we were all very supportive of each other. I learned so much over the two days covering design information, glass cutting to soldering. I appreciated the OH&S focus as we were using glass and lead products. The insight that Clare and David provided were thorough and clear. I didn’t ever feel overwhelmed and felt comfortable asking for help. I’m eager to try more lead light glass art and hope to attend further classes to learn more.
I recently completed Clare Peters’ Warm Glass workshop and had a wonderful time. Being a complete novice, I walked away with an incredible amount of knowledge, being taken through the why as well as the how. Clare is so welcoming, making you immediately feel comfortable on arrival. We walked away with so many different pieces, each of a different style, using different techniques. Highly recommended.
I recently attended a beginners leadlight class with Clare and her fabulous assistant David. The atmosphere was so welcoming. The class was designed perfectly, giving plenty of time for learning and hands on practice. We all came away with a finished piece to be proud of. There is a strong emphasis on OH&S and the studio facilities are outstanding. I would highly recommend these classes and I am sure I will be booking in for more.
I recently did the Warm Glass Weekend Workshop with Clare. Clare is a very knowledgeable and patient teacher. The workshop was well organised with just the right balance of theory and creative time. We worked on and took home lots of finished pieces, which is a lovely reminder of a busy but rewarding workshop. I am looking forward to more workshops with Clare. Thank you!
I was fortunate enough to gain a place in a two day glass workshop with the very talented Clare Peters and her very innovative husband David. Together they have built a creative space that has been carefully planned and thought out for the purpose of teaching. I felt privileged to be around these knowledgeable people that took such great care to make my weekend memorable. Our class of eight came away with six amazing glass works that we learned how to fuse and slump. It was a great success all round because of the way it was executed. Well done Clare and David. I am totally hooked and am hoping to sign up for a term soon!
Clare is amazing, such a lovely person and so incredibly talented with a fabulous and patient teaching style. She instructs in an easy to follow way and pace, allows her students autonomy but is more than happy to help when needed. Her studio is that of dreams and she is always happy to share her knowledge and years of experience and expertise. David is also a wealth of information and incredible assistance. And Ollie is just beautiful. Excellent value. A fabulous experience. I’ve already booked my next workshop.
I absolutely recommend booking a class with Clare Peters. Her wealth of expertise and experience is extraordinary. She has a wonderful ability to explain everything in a simple easy manner. David was an amazing help and both are an incredible team that brings the best out of the class. The studio was perfect blended into a beautiful bush backdrop . It was such an unforgettable experience we have rebooked and can’t wait to see them again.
The level of expertise and know-how from Clare is amazing! She caters to all ranges of abilities, and is a wealth of knowledge. I felt at home and in good hands when in her “Cottage” (workshop). I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her courses and workshops to anyone who has an interest in glass art. Thank you Clare!
I have been privileged to learn glass fusing under Clare’s instruction, and have no hesitation in recommending her as a glass teacher, no matter which area of glass design interests you
Have done both the leadlight and fusing course with Clare. She is a patient and caring instructor who shares her wealth of knowledge and studio completely.
Absolutely great value for money. Clare is a true professional but down to earth. Fabulous workshop in the most scenic and serene setting plus you get to take the most wonderful pieces home for your efforts. Thanks Clare
Stained glass class was amazing! Clare is an excellent teacher, I loved the studio and her two helpers.
I have just finished a two day workshop with Clare Peters and was most impressed with what I learned from this world famous artist. From the moment she started the day it was all done very professionally. Clare had direction and presented the information in an interesting manner. She was organised and much to my delight, there was plenty of equipment. There was no need to share anything (so important during this pandemic). There were even Perspex shields so everyone could work safely. Over the two days Clare gave us different projects to make out of glass. They were a delight to take home and show the family. It was a wonderful experience, very much value for money. I am seriously thinking of going again!
Just finished an amazing weekend doing Clare’s Warm Glass Fusing & Slumping course. I learnt so much. Clare is very informative & you can tell that she is very passionate about her craft, & loves to share her knowledge. I would highly recommend doing this course, & you don’t need to know anything about cutting glass! Clare will help you. Thank you Clare for a wonderful weekend.
Just completed a wonderful fusing weekend. Learnt so much – the knowledge Clare is willing to share is wonderful. Great value as we made multiple projects, and you could see all the preparation that went I to delivering the workshop. Enjoyable, quality learning experience.
We have just finished a brilliant weekend lead light workshop. Absolutely the best art workshop I have ever done. Enjoyed by all. Thank you Clare!!
Fabulous fun and informative class. Great value for money and Clare is lovely
WHAT AN AMAZING WEEKEND!! Clare started from the very beginning and worked through many layers, techniques and styles of glass!! I’m a sheet metal worker and to learn such a broad overview of glass was very exciting! Thankyou David and Clare!! I had a wonderful weekend and your delicious ‘lemonade’ oranges was a big hit with my family
Attended a Great Warm Glass Fusing and Slumping Workshop over the weekend. Clare is a wonderful teacher and walked away with lots of goodies and a great appreciation of people that work with glass Thank you Clare
I loved Clare’s fusion course so much I joined her workshops and would totally recommend it to everyone. She has a great teaching style, and she is inspirational in what she has accomplished with her own works. Jump in a class you may never want to stop going
Had an absolutely great weekend creating and learning. Clare is lovely, patient and a fabulous teacher. Award winning professional who loves what she does and happy to share her knowledge. We’ve booked our next course, can’t wait!!
I bought my husband and son a class with Clare for Christmas. They completed it this weekend and absolutely loved it. They are really looking forward to doing another one. Thank you so much.
Fantastic class with the fabulous Clare Peters this weekend. Fantastic teacher, studio and experience. Learnt heaps and made several pieces to take home. Highly recommend her courses, workshops.
An excellent weekend spent learning about Kiln formed glass with an amazing teacher. Just fabulous. I highly recommend this course. Excellent studio set up.
Great informative workshops which allow you to create a number of unique pieces to take home.
I did the intro to working with warm glass course and I thoroughly recommend it. Such an amazing informative course and you walk away with so many amazing pieces. I can’t believe it all fit into one weekend. Clare is so approachable and encourages you to get as involved with the medium as you want. Loved it and I’ll be looking at doing more.
I learnt so much. It was a full on weekend and everyone finished a lead light panel. I am totally hooked. Clare is a great teacher who paces the lessons for fast and slow. Definitely returning to do some more.
Great studio tucked away in a rural setting but quite close to the freeway and easy to get to!! Clare knows everything there is to know about glass, and the courses are great at getting total beginners (like myself) to produce cool glass projects!!
Clare is a fabulous teacher. She gives space to learn what’s she’s taught and at the same time she’s available when a helping hand is needed.
The studio, set up in 2003, is a well equipped working studio, nestled into beautifully quiet surroundings in the rural valley of Fountaindale, on the NSW Central Coast. It is here that Clare creates her own artwork, as well as teaching new and continuing students.
In this two-day hands-on workshop Clare will guide you through the traditional method and craft of leadlight panel construction. Topics covered include glass cutting, leading, soldering and puttying techniques as well as health and safety principles of working with glass. Clare focuses on teaching proficient skills and techniques, which form a solid foundation for future projects. No previous glass experience is necessary.
