Beautiful North Devon

The Glass Workshop is based in Bideford (an historic port town), in beautiful North Devon.  It is also a part of the North Devon UNESCO Biosphere. I am really proud to be a Biosphere Business Partner which means that I am part of a sustainable business network.  We have all made commitments to conservation, local developement and awareness raising. 
Many of my students come from Barnstaple, South Molton, Torrington, Tiverton, Crediton and Exeter across the South West but many do travel from further afield.  Please see my 'Where to Stay' section which has a list of local Bed and Breakfast and guest house accommodation (including fellow Biosphere Business Partners) 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.
