"This is the second course I attended with Kate within two weeks because the first one (leaded glass technique) was so good! The Tiffany glass course is just as good and Kate was a great teacher again; she gave excellent instruction and answered any questions we had about the technique and materials."

"My mum-in-law and I attended the introduction to Tiffany stained glass day. We had a superb time. It's hard work (I'm not good at craft) but very rewarding. Kate was a great instructor, fun, very patient, and helped me out quite a lot. I would love to go back and try it again sometime. Sorry Kate ;-)"

"I attended the Tiffany course with my husband as a birthday present. We both had an amazing and highly memorable day. We’d never done anything like this before but were absorbed from the minute the day began. We actually produced some not too shabby pieces of art which hang proudly in our house. Just the ticket to take our minds off other more challenging aspects of life at the moment. We thoroughly recommend you try it!!"
