A little about me
I've worked as a professional artist for over 25 years and love sharing my knowledge and skills during the workshops, helping you create gorgeous artwork. I graduated with a 1st class degree in glass from Edinburgh College of Art in 2000 then received the prestigious Crafts Council Start Up Award to set up my studio.
I have lived in or near Lulworth Cove village for over 20 years and I expanded into an additional studio and workshop space at Furzebrook Studios, near Wareham in 2025.
Lovely places to stay and eat in Purbeck
All these gorgeous places are within a 20 min drive of Furzebrook Studios. If you are coming by train I recommend going to and staying in Wareham, then it's a 5min taxi or 30 min to the studios.

"Thank you so much for a morning of creative heaven! We had such an enjoyable time and it totally exceeded our expectations.
Wendy was so helpful, and ensured we had all the resources we needed to get started. Her passion and knowledge was amazing. We had a throughly chilled out session, which wasn't rushed or hurried.
The studio is an idyllic place, with views are very calming and therapeutic - just what's needed to create some beautiful art. I would definitely recommend it....... a morning of pure bliss".
