"Highly recommended! Our family of four (kids 11 and 14) had a fabulous afternoon with Bill on the beach! After a short introduction to sacred geometry, we set off drawing and just could not stop! So much fun! Bill took amazing pictures with his drone. Very exhausted but very happy we finally stopped and had a last look from above the shore at our art pieces. Thank you, Bill!"

Sara Jane reviewed: Introduction to traditional stained glass (1 day) in Sheffield, South Yorkshire

"Sunday’s Traditional Stained Glass Workshop was incredible - Martin’s teaching is obviously honed by years of experience and was presented in bite-size pieces which meant the day wasn’t overwhelming and you really felt as if you could (and would!) create something to be proud of. As the day progressed, Martin made sure to go round the class ‘checking in’ and was always available to answer any questions, show you how to do something you didn’t understand, and offer guidance and advice (all with infinite patience!) There was a selection of patterns to choose from - not so many to be overwhelming but a selection that meant there was something for everyone’s taste. Choosing the glass, however, was a different matter - so many colours and textures! The day was fabulous value for money (let’s face it, that’s an important factor) - everything you would need is part of the cost (not to mention the constant supply of coffee!), the location is incredible, the workspace is the space of dreams … oh, and the teaching is second to none! Whether you have experience with glass, or are just dipping your toe in the water, I can highly recommend these workshops - don’t be afraid, give it a go and I promise you will be hooked!"

Martin McAssey Glass responded:

"Thank you for the fantastic review, I look forward to seeing you for a weekly class in September."

Mark Robinson reviewed: Beginners Knife Forging Day

"Attended the knife making workshop- wow what a great day! Alex was really switched on, very skilled, knowledgeable and a great communicator. Thoroughly enjoyed the day, as did the other four people on the course. I would highly recommend this, irrespective of if you have any experience or none, like me. Made a great knife I felt very proud of 😀 Would be very keen to attend another of the workshops, maybe an axe next time!! - Thanks Alex"

Paul & Becky reviewed: One day fused glass course at North Norfolk Stained Glass

"My wife and I spent a wonderful day in the beautiful surroundings of Paul's home/studio. Paul is a talented and patient teacher, explaining not only HOW things are done but, just as importantly, WHY they should be done that way. In addition to unlimited use of a great selection of materials, we also received a copious supply of hot drinks, and even lunch. Don't worry if you have never done anything like this before - Paul is very patient, and will allow you to work at your own pace, giving you guidance if required. At the end of the day you will have completed a glass item that you will be proud of, which Paul will fuse in the kiln, and send on to you (or arrange for you to collect) within a few days (we can't wait to see our finished items). Once again, thank you Paul for a very enjoyable and informative day."

North Norfolk Stained Glass responded:

"Hi Paul and Becky That is very kind and thank so much for your review, I really enjoyed our day and it was a real pleasure to have you both around! I’ve fired your projects (lovely!) and as said I’m more than happy to send them on - but if you want to collect, let me know when and I’ll have the kettle on ready :•) See you both soon I hope. Very best wishes Paul"
