Katie N reviewed: One Day Stained Glass Foiling Method Course

"My husband and I had the **best** time at Cheryl's brilliant foiling class. Cheryl is a wonderful teacher, not only is she extremely experienced but she's also patient, and will do everything she can to help you achieve what you want. Even if it means staying late to complete your creation. She knows how important it is for participants to go home with something they enjoy. We also loved her studio and all the beautiful artwork that is hanging there. Even though it was a freezing cold day, the studio was cosy and warm with plenty of tea, pastries and other snacks to keep us going. Cheryl is a complete inspiration, and I loved being in the presence of someone so creative. Thanks for an unforgettable experience! "

Cheryl Powling Glass responded:

The process of creating a felted bag was so much fun, and the hands-on guidance we received made all the difference. They clearly demonstrated the techniques and gave us plenty of opportunities to practice, ensuring everyone felt confident and capable.

Jo Flanagan reviewed: Stained Glass Copper Foil in New Romney, Kent

"I had never cut glass before, let alone held a soldering iron, but by the end of just one day, I had created a magical copper-foiled piece that I was genuinely proud of. The experience was not only fun but surprisingly beginner-friendly. The guidance and support throughout made the process enjoyable and manageable, even for someone with no prior experience. Whether you’re a complete novice like I was or have some creative experience, this is an activity anyone can dive into. Highly recommend giving it a try—you might surprise yourself with what you can create!"
