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

"Brilliant day spent learning how to create a stained glass panel. Great tuition as needed, always around to advise when needed, but lots of opportunity to just get stuck in and have a go with the techniques. Would recommend this course to anyone interested in learning new skills to them but are traditional skills."

"Thank you for the nice review, I hope to see you again in the future. "

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

"Just spent a fantastic day making traditional stained glass with my husband and grown-up daughter. We had expert tuition from Martin, who added new techniques at appropriate points during the day, so we could progress at our own pace and not get overwhelmed with too much information. The equipment kits were great, and the choice of glass to use in the well-thought-out designs was wonderful. I would highly recommend this workshop as a lovely, way to spend a day."

"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!"
