"A most enjoyable course brilliantly run. As someone who has done no glass or painting courses, Martin gave clear instructions, was very patient, explaining the processes and techniques several times. Martin offered great support throughout the day, in a well equipped workshop with everything to hand. Would highly recommend together with the cafe upstairs. Thank you."

Martin McAssey Glass responded:

"Glad you enjoyed your day, thank you for the review. "

"This is the second time I've attended a class at Martin's workshop. It's a wonderful welcoming environment. Which is extremely well equipped and offers a spacious work bench for each participant. All materials and equipment needed for your season are readily available and Martin is a very patient teacher. He has many samples on display which offer inspiration and encouragement as to what can be achieved in a day. There's a constant supply of hot drinks to keep you going throughout the day and a lovely cafe upstairs where you can order lunch to eat in or take away. "

Martin McAssey Glass responded:

"Thank you for the lovely review."

"I've been to several of Martin and Kate's workshops and they have all been fantastic. I attended the Painting on Glass Workshop on Sunday 3rd March and once again had a brilliant time and learnt a new skill which I will be able to adapt to the stain glass pieces I make on the weekly workshop. Martin as usual was extremely patient, giving clear guidance and really boosts your confidence. I can't wait to collect the pieces I made."

Martin McAssey Glass responded:

"Thank you for the lovely review."

"There's no real reason to leave a review as such because Martin, I am sure, already has a good number of positive customer reports? Returning students/customers is always the best sign and certificate of something that's good - and there were a few in the room with me? But here I go : Martin takes you through the steps of the process, the methods, tricks and variations of painting on glass skilfully and efficiently. And, if you're unsure, well - that's not a problem as he will go over it again for you and make sure you're fine and ready to go and create. I was the only bloke in the room (obv. apart from the boss!) and he kept an eye on my progress just as much as the others and I did't feel out of place whatsoever as the vibe in the room was relaxed, cool and happy. The facilities are great and if you fancy a full on midday meal there's the restaurant above. I would thoroughly recommend this, and to be perfectly honest, any other course he gives as I am sure he runs those just as professionally. I was there again a few weeks later to collect my kilned pieces and the room was again full of creative and happy sounding people. "

"Thank you for such a lovely review, I'm really glad you enjoyed the workshop."

"I had another pleasant day at Martin's studio, learning new techniques which will come very handy for a new project. The time flies when I work with glass but I managed to make four very good pieces of work. It's a perfect day to take your mind off the real world and enjoy yourself along other keen people!"

Martin McAssey Glass responded:

"Thank you for the lovely review."

"I think I've found my new love! I was looking to add another dimension to my stained glass work - and I am now a convert. Martin is, as always, concise and informative - taking you in small steps through the processes of painting lines, curves and experimenting with textures before moving on to the removal technique. Everyone had the chance to make several pieces during the day, and the opportunity to either use the templates and ideas provided or to use your own. No prior experience of working with glass is needed - and I would definitely not call myself a painter, but I am delighted with the pieces I made. Also a great recommendation for lunch from the cafe next door!"

Martin McAssey Glass responded:

"Thank you for the great review, I'm really glad you enjoyed the day."

Rachel Burdett reviewed: Introduction to glass painting (1 day) in Sheffield, South Yorkshire

"Did this course with Martin a few weeks ago and had a really wonderful time. Martin takes the time to go over all the painting techniques you can use and has lots of different templates that you can try your hand at if you're a beginner, like me. The full day class was well worth the money. "

Martin McAssey Glass responded:

"Thank you :)"

"Another excellent workshop from Martin. Martin gives all the explanation and demonstrations that you need, all the equipment and then lots of encouragement to try the techniques. It's fun and highly absorbing and I'm already thinking about the next one. Thank you Martin."

Jess Dennis reviewed: Introduction to glass painting (1 day) in Sheffield, South Yorkshire

"A fantastic day with expert guidance and support from Martin. Everyone had their own workspaces and tools and all the equipment (glass, paint, brushes etc) was provided for. Martin's demos were super helpful and we had lots of opportunities to ask questions and get support throughout the day. It was great to have the freedom to experiment and make our own designs too! Thoroughly enjoyed the day and can't believe how much fun it was. I've now picked up yet another hobby!"

"Such an enjoyable day. Martin is a very patient, attentive and encouraging teacher and is generous with his knowledge. I loved that Martin was happy to give us freedom in creating our own designs. I recommend it to anyone with an interest/knowledge in the making of traditional stained glass as it complents this skill perfectly. A very relaxing day. I will be booking another course here without doubt!"
