Martin C reviewed: Tiffany stained glass wild flowers workshop

"I had a really good enjoyable day. My first time working with stained glass. The workshop was a Birthday present. Kate is friendly and welcoming. She was brilliant demonstrating each skill as we progressed through the day. She was happy to go over the techniques again ensuring we understood each stage and spent time with us individually providing encouragement and advice. I even managed to produce 4 bits of work which I was really pleased with. Booked in for another course in a couple of months."

Martin McAssey Glass responded:

"Thank you for the lovely review. We look forward to seeing you again in a couple of months."

Amy-lee Edwards reviewed: Tiffany stained glass wild flowers workshop

"Kate was amazing!! What a really fab fun filled day with so much to learn and experience. Kate made jumping back into the learning process a doddle and so clear with her guidance that everyone picked it up in no time. I had never even cut glass before (broken tonnes by accident!) but by the end I had the most delicate blue bell flowers with embellishments that dazzle when the sun hits them and some stunning pink daisies. I would love to do this again and I think I'm going to invest in her suggested starter kit to have some fun with! You honestly will not regret this course, see it as an investment in your fun!"

Martin McAssey Glass responded:

"Thank you for the lovely review."

"Having done the Stained Glass Workshop previously, I tried my hand at the Fused Glass 1-day workshop with Martin, and once again enjoyed myself immensely! Martin is a patient and encouraging tutor. The classes are set at the perfect pace to learn but still get a lot done. Fantastic experience once again, I will be back. "

Joy Keywood reviewed: Stained glass weekly classes in Sheffield (South Yorkshire)

"Having attended 3 terms I would highly recommend Martin's classes. They are affordable, supportive and friendly. Martin has taught me so many new skills and given me the confidence to create large and small pieces of stained glass, both in lead and Tiffany, independently. These classes have been life changing for me, more like therapy, and have given me a whole new craft to lose myself in and something that I never realised I was capable of. Thank you Martin."

Martin McAssey Glass responded:

"Thank you for the lovely review."

"Thank you for the review."

Patrick Crowley reviewed: Stained glass weekly classes in Sheffield (South Yorkshire)

"Update 2024: Another weekly stained glass course completed successfully, and I am very pleased with the Art Deco Tiffany lightshade that I made this time. The course has allowed me to build solidly on the skills that I learned in previous courses. This project involved a lot of pieces of glass and it really made me realise how these courses have helped me grow my glass cutting skills. Kate and Martin are excellent tutors and are always approachable for any questions during classes. On the Friday afternoon courses, even if not asked, Kate regularly checks on students progress. In this way she caught a (somewhat basic!) mistake that I was about to make when soldering my latest work :-) The atmosphere in the classes is always friendly, industrious and creative. It is great to see and be inspired by the other students work, gain tips and bounce ideas around. I was especially pleased on this course with the steady introduction of the new improved glass grinders, illustrating that Martin is always investing in his workshops with the latest kit to ensure efficient and up to date skills learning. I would gladly recommend anyone to give learning stained glass at Martin McAsseys workshop a try. "

Martin McAssey Glass responded:

"Thank you for the great review."

Gillian Hogan reviewed: Tiffany stained glass wild flowers workshop

"Great day learning how to make these lovely flowers. This is the 3rd workshop day I've been on, the others being Painting on Glass and Scrap glass mosaic stepping stone. Both Kate and Martin were clear in their instructions and would repeat and show as many times as necessary. Very encouraging and calming when I thought I would never get things finished. Came home with some fantastic glass art. Now to choose my next glass workshop :-)"

Dodie Rutherford reviewed: Stained glass weekly classes in Sheffield (South Yorkshire)

"I have been fortunate in being able to join Martin’s weekly course for the last two and a half years. He has taught me through introductory phase, mastering basic skills then on to more demanding work which have been really pleasing. He is great at helping through the tricky bits then recognising when you can cope and run with the piece. The day courses have been great at giving new experiences in glass work. Great all round. "

"Thank you for the lovely review."

Karen reviewed: Stained glass weekly classes in Sheffield (South Yorkshire)

"I have just completed my third 10 week course and have enjoyed every single session. Martin is an amazing tutor. In the first course he guided me through all the steps in a very clear and concise way - spending a good amount of time demonstrating and checking up on progress. In the following courses Martin is always on hand to provide guidance and reminders of the steps, as needed. The workshop is well stocked and a great environment for working in. Really enjoying the craft - would highly recommend."

"Thank you for the great review."
