Elaine Joy reviewed: An Introduction to Stained Glass - 2 day Weekend Workshop

"Fantastic! Brilliant! Fi is very knowledgeable and puts you at ease from the moment you meet her. The two days are all about being hands on and I have come away thoroughly inspired by the craft and its endless possibilities. I had undertaken a stained glass course before using copper foil techniques but this was a couple of years ago and I have never used lead and so it was like starting again but Fi quickly assessed my capabilities and following discussion we designed my project and got started. With informative help on hand when needed, I was really chuffed with my finished panel. Would thoroughly recommend this class and can't wait to return to do more!"
