Maker's bio

I work as a teacher and artisan both in stained glass and traditional buiding techniques. After a Fine Art degree I first started stained glass myself in 2002 as an evening class and never looked back. I have a passion for traditional crafts and I enjoy being able to bring enthusiam and energy to teaching others. The glass courses I run at our purpose built applied arts workshop are designed to give students the chance to develop their own ideas and it is amazing what gets produced.

Sarah reviewed: One day stained glass classes by Le Breton Traditional

"Thank you Matt for a fantastic day, you deliver something very unique and special. The class was fun, achievable and for myself very therapeutic. I really enjoyed the day and learnt some new skills along the way. Matt is a really nice guy and is a very patient teacher, who allows you to find your way but, is also there to help when required. A great day all in all, will definitely like to come again. "

"Booked this course for my husband and returned with him, I had been before to learn copper-foil. This time we both learnt proper lead stained glass work. It was more involved but strangely very wonderful to learn and do. Matt was an ace tutor, he presented him subject well and with humour. The workshop was lovely and the howling wind and rain were kept outside whilst we beavered away. Everyone had their own workstation and there was a lovely selection of glass available. I did feel like a certain creature out of Lord of the Rings with some of the lovelier pieces of glass to hand. We have already fitted my piece into a door that we have, and my husband is looking for an extra special place to put his on show. Thanks for a wonderful course and if anyone is thinking of going on this course, I would whole-heartedly recommend it."

"A brilliant course, the day went so quickly. Matt is very knowledgeable & so helpful. He explain every process clearly and concisely from a safety aspect right through to finishing off your project. The studio itself was bright and very well equipped. I would highly recommend this course."
