Christine Lewington reviewed: Stained glass taster day in Worcestershire

"Brilliant! Brilliant! Brilliant! is all I could say when I got home. What a fantastic wonderful course. Vicky was just the most amazing patient, funny teacher. I had the best time ever. Having wanted to do Stained Glass for so long I could not have expected to have learnt so much in such a short space of time. Vicky is a very talented lady, willing to share all her trade (even its secrets). The whole day was hands on and I have been able to bring home a beautiful stained glass pane which is very personal and special to me. Thank you so so much Vicky and I am definitely going to bring my friends along for another session with you. Chris"

Kingcot Gallery responded:

"Dear Chris, thank you, I'm just trying to stop blushing as I type..... So pleased we made a piece that had a personal connection, it does make the day a bit more special. All the best Vicky "

Sally reviewed: Fused glass introduction 1/2 day at Kingcot, Worcestershire

"Thank you so much for a really enjoyable morning learning a new craft ... it was quite absorbing & really fun and to our surprise both produced more than we expected - athough we haven't seen the finished pieces yet! The success of the experience was all due to Vicky... her care & attention teaching us the basic skills and then taking us through every step, helping to make sure we realised our ideas and learned new things along the way. I suspect we may be back for another go sometime ..."

Kingcot Gallery responded:

"Dear Sally, thank you for your kind words, they are appreciated - and making me blush...... It's always good to make pieces that have a bit of a personal thought behind them, it gives us something to focus on! All the best Vicky"

Julie reviewed: Stained glass taster day in Worcestershire

"I had a great day learning to do stained glass with Vicky. Vicky is an extremely good teacher going through each process clearly and concisely especially as I was a complete beginner. I was pleased to find that it was a one on one day with Vicky. I think that I found the soldering the hardest part of the process - definitely need more practice with that. Cutting the glass was not so easy on the curve but I was very pleased with the final piece and loved the vibrant colours. Thank you Vicky for your patience and expertise and thank you for the lovely lunch."

Kingcot Gallery responded:

"Dear Julie, thank you for your lovely review, it is appreciated. There is always one process that people find a bit trickier than others but you overcame it and have a piece that will stay vibrant for years to come. All the best Vicky "

Paul reviewed: Stained glass taster day in Worcestershire

"We had a fantastic day. Both Vic’s were absolutely fantastic and very knowledgeable. We learnt so much and were given help when needed but also given the chance to go at it alone learning by our mistakes. A very wide range of glass to choose from too. Lunch was very tasty. We would highly recommend and will definitely be going back again. We love the pieces we made "

Kingcot Gallery responded:

"Dear Paul, thank you for your kind words, they are appreciated. It was good to see the progress made and even better that the pieces were personal to you. I trust you enjoyed your time in the area and it would be good to see you again! All the best Vicky"

Su reviewed: Fused glass introduction 1/2 day at Kingcot, Worcestershire

"As an absolute beginner I was not sure what to expect. Vicky soon put me at ease with a warm and friendly welcome. Her tuition was crystal clear and I soon felt confident to begin my design. Vicky gives you free rein to create whatever you would like and is there to support every step of the way. We chatted the morning away while creating it was like meeting an old friend. I will definitely be returning as she got me hooked! "

Kingcot Gallery responded:

"Dear Su, thank you for your wonderful words, they are appreciated. Your pieces are well thought out and will make a lovely set once fired!. All the best Vicky"

Richard Brookes-Bland reviewed: Stained glass taster day in Worcestershire

"We had an incredible day of making our stained glass. Aside from it being a lot of fun, we learnt a lot and had support all along the way in case we started to go awry. It was a personal setting - the two of us and one other couple, both of us having our own instructor, so at no point did we feel neglected. Plus, a free lunch lovingly cooked to keep us going!"

"Dear Richard, thank you for your kind words, they are appreciated. Hopefully the day helped know what's what so you can carry on in your own work space - good luck with this, any questions just ask!"
