"What a great way to spend a Sunday, the day just flew, Matt taught us all we needed to know to create a glass piece from our own design, I really look forward to joining him again for another workshop. Would recommend to anyone with no knowledge of glass working or artistic flair (like myself) as you can still make a piece to be proud of."

"OMG what a course, what a day and what a fantastic stained glass design that we walked away with. From the very first contact made in booking the course to the last box of tools that we carried downstairs for him on the day itself this was a complete joy. Payment was easy, booking was easy and working within a classroom environment was made easy by Matthews professionalism and passion. Delivered in a friendly and personable style that encouraged me to believe that were I to attend again that I would be capable of designing and making one of those massive windows in Wells Cathedral. My partner and I designed and both worked on a large and complex design but others in the group went for a more simple design. Both looked absolutely fabulous. Come on folks find your creativity (let Matthew encourage even more creativity than you could have imagined) find a suitable day and have the best fun ever. 5 stars every time"

"Fantastic day at the Welsh Mill workspace in Frome. Matt is a very patient and engaging tutor and we all learnt so much. Everyone took away an amazing piece of stained glass using our own designs and nothing was too much trouble for Matt to help us with. Great fun and very inspiring to do more of this wonderful craft. Thank you Matt."

"This stained glass making day was bought for me as a present. It exceeded all my expectations and I had the most brilliant day. Matt is an excellent teacher so that processes which might at first seem daunting we were all able to take in our stride. All on my course were able to produce stained glass pieces which were beyond our hopes and expectations and there was a huge sense of achievement at being creative in a new way. Those who dropped out of the course at the last minute don't know what they were missing! Thank you, Matt, for a totally fantastic day."

"Last week I attended the glass painting course run by Matt and was delighted (to my surprise) I produced a lovely piece of artwork ! The class was thoroughly enjoyable having the benefit of Matts' knowledge and guidance in his field of expertise and the day flew by so quickly with being so absorbed in creating. Very highly recommended and I certainly would like to return."

"I had a most enjoyable day on this course. Matt was a great teacher and has a volume of knowledge which he passes on to his pupils, giving lots of advice and tips along the way. It has inspired me to want to do more and I would have no hesitation in recommending to anyone who would like to try Stained Glass,you’ll have a great day for sure. Thanks Matt."

"I’d tried making mosaics previously but my glass cutting was abysmal. It’s so much easier with the right teacher and tools! I’ve done 3 of these days now and each time Matt has been brilliant. He will help you develop a design beforehand if you contact him and I’d recommend doing that as the day feels like it goes very quickly. He brings a lovely selection of glass and you can learn a range of techniques dependant on your chosen project. Careful though, you might get hooked!"

"Matt is very knowledgeable and I was impressed with his comprehensive explanations of the process and variety of methods and materials used in his workshop. A very enjoyable day and although mentally taxing for a complete beginner an excellent end product. Thanks Matt."

"I attended the course as a total novice and was delighted with the results. Matt was patient and always on hand to step in with advice & assistance when needed but was encouraging in making the piece your own and letting you test yourself. The group was diverse and friendly and it was great to see other people working on different techniques. I would thoroughly recommend this course to anyone keen to have a go, never have 7 hours flown by so quickly."

"Was a complete novice and delighted with end product. A truly therapeutic day fully focused on learning new skills and creating your own design. Glass is such a beautiful medium and Matt's teaching' patience and enthusiasm are fantastic. Good bunch of people all acheiving their own amazing designs. Fully Recommend the day whether you are a complete novice like me or more experienced wanting to hone your skills. Worth every penny."

"Having already dipped my toe into the stained glass water, I came to the class with 2 techniques I wanted to master and left knowing so much more. 2 terms of evening classes had taught me the confidence to cut glass and copper foil it, but even the tuition about cutting on Matt's course was valuable as I learned new techniques and improved my speed and confidence. I feel ready to try came work now as well. Matt is very patient and clearly has a passion for this type of work. His enthusiasm is infectious and I only wish I lived nearer to attend again. Handouts supplied after the course were an unexpected and helpful addition. How many times have I wondered at the array of glass available to buy and never felt certain about the choices I was making? Thank you, Matt. Your course comes highly recommended."

"Absolutely loved the course. An excellent introduction in to the world of Stained Glass. Matthew is a great and enthusiastic teacher. Having already been on a glass fusion course last year, I feel that I picked up so much more from my day with Matthew. In particular, thanks to some great tips I am now so much more confident and accurate at cutting glass. I left the day with a lovey piece and I am now truly hooked. I can't wait for another day of stained glass and I'll be booking my wife on to the next course. I recommend this course for anybody with an interest in glass. Thank you Matthew"

"Wonderful course for me and my 12 year old. The time went very quickly and we learnt so much. We are both very proud of our pieces. Well done Matt for managing such a diverse group all working away on their own designs and each person requiring your attention!"

"Great course and tutor. Matt gently introduces you into the world of stained glass, including the various techniques available, for you to produce a unique piece of work. He tailors the pace to the course members and before long, after making a few tentative cuts into practice pieces of glass, you are creating all sorts of shapes with confidence. He provides all the required tools and an amazing array of stained glass for you to use and be inspired by. I attended the course in Frome, and had discussed with Matt (via email) what I wished to produce prior to the course taking place. Where possible I would recommend this as while 7 hours is enough to produce your piece of work, the time goes by so quickly. I would fully recommend this course. Matt is very approachable, and as well as providing all the practical knowledge, he is very patient giving encouragement, advice and assistance."

"I came to this course with my granddaughter. Although we were both complete beginners we were encouraged to design and build our own projects. Through the day Matt introduced us to the techniques we needed while at the same time assisting other participants who were more experienced and working on some advanced work. He described this as keeping all the plates spinning. We thoroughly enjoyed our day and, most importantly, managed to complete our designs successfully. I would recommend this course to anyone who would like an introduction to stained glass work."

"Always wanted to try stain glass crafting but thought it would be too difficult. I need not have worried because under Matt's tutorlage I came home with a lovely piece of stain glass art. The whole day was concentrated and I learnt so many techniques, so happy that I have enrolled for the next course at Bradninch. Thank you Matt for your patience."

"As a young artist many decades ago, I always wanted to create a stain glass piece. We have been so blessed to have our wonderful stained-glass artist Matt Le Breton in Bradninch. My husband and I booked on one of his courses a couple of years ago. We created a sun inspired design to be installed above the portal of our house. I must admit. as painters, we were so unfamiliar with the technique, though Matt was very patient and supported us with the completion. So many friends and neighbours have commented on our beautiful stained-glass piece, and we are very proud of it! Matt is an excellent tutor and communicator. He has a powerful vision, and is an inspiring, energising tutor and artist. Matt also has a warm and friendly personality, and is very instructive and encouraging. We look forward to attending another one of his courses in the near future, and they are to be highly recommended!"
