Jo Kelly reviewed: Beginners 1 Day Traditional Stained Glass Course

"The workshop as a birthday present , I was the sole attendee and had 1-1 tuition. Gill made me feel very welcome from the off and the day ran like clockwork. She is a passionate and extremely talented artist who loves to share her skill and knowledge with others. The day began with coffee and a run through of the tools used , the process involved and then having looked at the selection of the stained glass ideas available , I made my choice..... a bird on a branch. At every stage Gill offered advice and assistance. She is totally professional and ensures your finished item is a success. I thoroughly enjoyed the day and have recommended the course to all my crafting friends. "

Gill Rogers responded:

"Many thanks Jo for your wonderful review and it was such a pleasure to spend a fun day together. Hope you enjoy displaying your beautiful bird and hope to see you again sometime in the near future! Best wishes, Gill x"

Trish Irvine reviewed: Beginner's Traditional Stained Glass 2 Day Course

"I have spent a wonderful two days with Gill, refreshing my skills and knowledge of stained glass, that I last did a few years ago. Gill was very inspiring and helped me to combine three elements of stained glass, foiling, lead and decorative wire work as an embellishment on top. She is a hands on tutor giving good examples of how to work and fix problems, if the design needs tweaking. She has lots of patience, gives lots of encouragement and is very helpful with everything . The studio is in a beautiful location with lots of parking, and plenty of tea throughout the day. What’s not to love. I will be doing more courses with Gill in the future."

Gill Rogers responded:

"Many thanks Trish for your lovely review and hope you enjoy displaying your beautiful stained glass panel. Look forward to seeing you again soon!😊 Best wishes, Gill x"

Hannah B reviewed: Beginners 1 Day Traditional Stained Glass Course

"My friend and I had a brilliant time on the one day course, Gill was so welcoming, helpful, encouraging and generous with her knowledge. The studio space is great with everything you’d need and so much glass to choose from to make your piece. She was also very accommodating of my pregnant friend, and showed her an alternative to using lead when fixing all the glass pieces together. I would definitely recommend taking this course with Gill, you’ll have a great day and come away with a gorgeous piece! "

Jo reviewed: Beginner's Traditional Stained Glass 2 Day Course

"I completed a 2 day course with Gill last month. It was a very unique experience and I hugely benefitted from a one to one course. Gill is a delightful, calm & professional tutor, & easy to communicate with prior to my visit. We had a great couple of days and I learned new skills (as I’d completed small leaded panels & copper foil before). Gill was very generous with her time & very patient with me as I’m a bit slow! Gills’ studio is a very comfortable place to create & the fabulous cooked breakfast from the cafe was delicious and plentiful. Thank you Gill so much, this was a really positive & enjoyable experience in gorgeous surroundings with such a lovely atmosphere. I hope to attend again before too long!"

Gill Rogers responded:

"Many thanks Jo for your wonderful review and hope to see you again sometime in the near future!👍🥰 All my very best wishes to you and Tim, Gill xx"

Wendy Pitman reviewed: Beginners 1 Day Traditional Stained Glass Course

"Gill is an amazing teacher, very approachable, easy to get along with and incredibly talented. The day started with us choosing a stained-glass pattern and everything we did from that point was geared to us producing an amazing stained-glass piece of art. To do this required us to learn how to cut glass, straight lines, and curves, use a special machine to grind and smooth the glass and to build the pattern up on a pre-drawn template. The glass techniques are timeless and all the glass inter-locked into preformed lead channels. The final part of the process was using a 100w soldering iron to weld the lead strips together. Gill guided us all the way and the end result was an amazing piece of stained-glass artwork – artwork produced in similar ways to artwork in churches. Gill provided all the necessary PPE. Can’t thank Gill enough for an amazing day. The artwork is now proudly displayed in my living room. "

Gill Rogers responded:

"Wow, thank you so much Wendy for taking the time to write such a wonderful review! It was so lovely to meet you and I had such a fun day too. Hope you enjoy displaying your beautiful stained glass panel and well done you, it looked absolutely stunning! All my very best wishes and hope to see you again sometime in the near future, Gill x"
