Beautiful North Devon

The Glass Workshop is based in Bideford (an historic port town), however many students come from Barnstaple, South Molton, Torrington, Tiverton, Crediton and Exeter across the South West.  For those further afield, please see my 'Where to Stay' section which has a list of local Bed and Breakfast and guest house accommodation offering a good range of facilities and tariffs.  There are some stunning places to stay in North Devon and some within walking distance or just a short drive or bus ride away from my studio.
