Sarah reviewed: Introduction to fused glass (1 day) in Sheffield, South Yorkshire

"Such an enjoyable day. Martin demonstrated techniques and gave plenty of individual help and guidance. The course is suitable for any skill level and a wide variety of materials is provided to enable participants to either make one of Martin's demonstration pieces or something of your own design. The workshop is set in an open air museum and there is a very good cafe on site. Highly recommended."

Martin McAssey Glass responded:

"Thank you for the great review. "

Sara reviewed: Tiffany stained glass wild flowers workshop

"I had been looking forward to this course for months and wasn't disappointed! A wonderful day that absolutely flew by - Kate was a fab teacher and I came away with much more confidence in going forward with glass cutting and soldering (even though I have a long way to go to get to Kate's standards!!) not to mention 7 stems of flowers! Took the opportunity to order lunch from the restaurant on site and can highly recommend this too. A word of warning - if you do this one day course, you'll be uttterly hooked and will spend the following days trying to figure out how to give up the day job so you can dedicate your time to longer courses!"

Martin McAssey Glass responded:

"Thank you for the lovely review."

Aravind reviewed: Introduction to traditional stained glass (1 day) in Sheffield, South Yorkshire

"I was looking forward to the one day workshop on the 22nd of April 2023 with great anticipation to demystify " the how is it that any one could create?" the incredible stained glass windows, which I adore in every church I visited for many years. But I did not expect to get the jackpot and that was the experience, that I received. The teacher, Kate Billington, from start to finish, was beyond excellence, who gave us clear but precise instructions which made the whole learning process easy and relaxed and most of all what I came out with at the end the day was my wonderful achievement to relish with pleasure. The proof was that when I got home, my family could not wipe the smile from me, on the other hand, I could not theirs either, seeing me full of joy."

"Thank you for the lovely review."

" I had a wonderful time on the one day scrap glass mosaic course with Kate. Although I have experience with using glass, there is always something new to learn!

I would recommend this day to anyone. Thanks Kate"

Rachel Law reviewed: Tiffany stained glass wild flowers workshop

"I simply loved this course. You are instructed clearly on how to make beautiful glass flowers. It’s a full day, 10-5, with a break for lunch. I think there were approximately 10 people on the course which felt perfect for our workspace. All the equipment was in good working order and there was plenty of coloured glass to choose from. Everybody took home a gorgeous bunch of forever flowers. All were different as we were allowed to do our own designs….Absolutely recommend "

"Thank you for the lovely review, we're really pleased you enjoyed the workshop."

Georgina Aitken reviewed: Tiffany stained glass wild flowers workshop

"I had a wonderful weekend not only completing this course but also the tiffany tea light course. I achieved a bunch of pretty glass flowers that are now displayed very effectively in a recycled gin bottle I also have a tea light holder that sits proudly next to it sprinkling sparkling light across the table top. Kate the instructor for both days was very knowledgeable, was able communicate and demonstrate techniques and tasks effectively. There was just the right mix between giving practical assistance and standing back and letting you achieve on your own."

Martin McAssey Glass responded:

"Thank you for the lovely review, I'm glad you enjoyed the workshops. We hope to see you back in the studio at some point in the future."
