Description

Have you ever wanted to create your own personalised stained glass piece? We'll show you how! No experience required Tutor: Ruth Summers - creating bespoke glass art since 1998. Ruth runs workshops teaching the skills of stained glass where you can create your own small copper foiled stained glass creation or unique sun-catcher of your choice which you can take home with you at the end of the day. Prior to the workshop we can work together to design your glass piece so your pattern is ready to be brought to life on the day. We do also have some designs ready to choose from if you prefer.

We both learnt so much and are so pleased with the end result of our Tulips! We cannot stop talking about how much fun we had and how much of a lovely teacher you were!

"What an enjoyable day! So happy to have signed up for this 1:2:1 stained glass making workshop with Ruth Summers, in her perfect studio. Ruth let me do as much or as little as I wanted and I was relieved to have her take over on the really difficult bits, only when I asked! I have now been inspired to start my own stained glass journey. Thank you Ruth."

Blue Skies Glass Studio responded:

"Thank you Hilary, it was lovely to have you here and what a beautiful piece you created! "

Eve reviewed: Half Day Taster Stained Glass Workshop - for 121, 2 or 3 (friends)

"I thoroughly enjoyed my first lesson with Ruth – the 3 hour taster 1-2-1 workshop. It was so interesting and such fun that time flew by. The session was very easy going and at each stage of the process everything was well explained and demonstrated. I learnt lots and had fun along the way. Ruth is patient and explains everything so well and gives you the confidence and encouragement to do well. Her pace is spot on and the facilities are excellent. I enjoyed the course so much I have booked my next session, a full day 1-2-1! I have sent her my next design so that Ruth can design and have the pattern ready and I’m look forward to creating my next challenge to see how far I can stretch myself and have fun and confidence along the way."

Blue Skies Glass Studio responded:

"thank you so much for your lovely review Eve, it was such a pleasure to have you here and very much looking forward to seeing your next glass project come to life at our full day workshop!"

Diane and Martyn reviewed: Half Day Taster Stained Glass Workshop - for 121, 2 or 3 (friends)

"Thank you so much Ruth for a perfectly relaxed 3 hour 1-1 glass art starter session that I purchased for my partner. He really enjoyed it, and was very impressed with the tulip you helped him to create which is now hanging on our tree. I also enjoyed sitting in your garden (having a little peak occasionally!) and kept company by your lovely dogs Luna and Willow - particularly little, lively Luna! Thank you also for the regular offer of drinks which was very much appreciated. The whole 3 hours was neither rushed or stressful - you are a lovely person to be taught by. Having already purchased a starter kit, Martyn is now thinking about his next project! Thank you once again, Diane and Martyn x"

Blue Skies Glass Studio responded:

"Thank you for your lovely review, it was lovely to have you both here whilst Martyn was creating his rather stunning tulip! I'm excited to see what other creations he will be making going forwards, many thanks x"

Marianne Kennedy reviewed: Half Day Taster Stained Glass Workshop - for 121, 2 or 3 (friends)

"I had a lovely afternoon at this workshop, and learnt loads from Ruth, who was very patient and encouraging and good fun too! The whole process is really interesting and absorbing, and I would recommend to anyone to have a go. I appreciated Ruth putting so much effort in, with planning my design beforehand and having the pattern all ready. I love what I made, and I'm keen to carry on and learn more and see what else I could create."

Blue Skies Glass Studio responded:

"Thank you for your review Marianne, it was lovely to spend the afternoon with you and so glad you enjoyed, learning about stained glass, many thanks, Ruth"

Veronica reviewed: One Day Stained Glass Workshop - 121 OR for 2 (with a friend)

"I totally recommend this course as a wonderful way in which to explore using copper foil and creating a beautiful piece under the guidance of Ruth. From the start to finish of the day Ruth was patient, helpful and guided me through making a beautiful dragonfly. I was guided through the steps of cutting glass, to grinding, foiling and then soldering and found each process fascinating in its own right. Ruth was happy to help me solve any problems I encountered. It was a pleasure to spend the day in her workshop and even more so to go home with a beautiful piece of work to remind me of my day. As a result of the day and Ruth's encouragement got the 'bug' and will carry on learning more about the art of working with stained glass. Thank you Ruth for the best day I have had in a long time."

Blue Skies Glass Studio responded:

"Hi Veronica, Thank you so much for your lovely review and for such an enjoyable day at our workshop together. It’s so wonderful that you have now got the stained glass bug and you’ll soon be making more beautiful creations! It was lovely to have you here. Many thanks Ruth"
