Helen reviewed: Introduction to fused glass (1 day) in Sheffield, South Yorkshire

"I thoroughly enjoyed this course. Martin was excellent with his explanations of techniques, advice and guidance. I have never worked with glass before but the day was so informative and has given me inspiration for a new and exciting hobby. I didn’t think I was arty but I was proud of my achievements from the day. I would definitely recommend this course to others."

"Really enjoyable day with an excellent teacher. We used a variety of glass techniques and it was like being in a sweet shop with many different colours & sizes of glass to use. Great value for money and suitable for all ages and abilities."

"I’ve been attending stained glass courses for some time now and would recommend whole heartedly. Martin has made the space COVID safe and it feels just that, while remaining a friendly and sociable place to be. Whether a beginner or more experienced no project is too big or too small and Martin will always try to help you succeed in whatever you plan to do. Just do it"

"I have been attending Martin's class for a while now and continue to enjoy the session, learn new skills and gain in confidence. Martin is an excellent teacher, enabling students to learn the necessary skills in order to find ways to express themselves in the craft. Since Covid, and having to have a break of a term and a half, Martin has worked hard to make the studio Covid secure and it is wonderful to be back at work there. It is well organised and comfortable and Martin works hard to ensure that everyone is safe."

"I have really enjoyed the course and Martin is an excellent tutor leading you through each of the different techniques and stages of production step by step. Martin has laid the workshop out very well with all the tools you need easily to hand and he has taken a lot of trouble to ensure it is COVID safe. Nice atmosphere to work in and a great opportunity to learn new skills and produce some lovely work including a project of your own."

"Martin is an excellent teacher. I was new to stained glass but the way he leads you through the process, making small pieces to build up your confidence to make a larger piece of your own is really well thought out. The premises are beautifully laid out and everything you need is on hand. I thoroughly recommend him and am in fact continuing as I’ve enjoyed it so much."

"I have been attending these workshops for the last 3 years and cannot recommend them highly enough. Both Martin and Kate are excellent in every way with expertise, patience, help, encouragement and ideas and the atmosphere is always positive and welcoming. I have attended the one day workshops in fused glass and mosaic glass and had the same experiences. Martin has adapted the workshop to the present covid situation so that it has still been possible to work in an extremely safe way, something for which we have all been so grateful."

"Kate is a really lovely tutor - offering expert advice and guidance with her infectious love for glass and her friendly encouragement to everyone. All teachers are jugglers and she is very generous with her time, sensing when someone needs extra support. She offers praise regularly - I was hanging onto receiving her rarely bestowed ‘perfect’ as much as a Paul Hollywood handshake. The Studio is fully COVID safe and it’s a wonderful gift to switch off from outside pressures and immerse in creating. After 6 hours every Friday for 10 weeks I have caught the bug and am returning for more in the Spring. Can’t wait!"

"Great day for beginners, knowledgeable and supportive tutor. COVID-19 secure environment. Kate was patient but kept everyone motivated and moving forward, giving extra support to those that needed it. I have been working with fused glass for 5 years but learnt something new about cutting. Really enjoyable and I will be back!!"

Fiona reviewed: Introduction to glass painting (1 day) in Sheffield, South Yorkshire

"A great day of learning how to paint on glass. Martin is an excellent teacher. He had gone to great lengths to ensure his studio was Covid-secure. He supplies all the materials and there was opportunity to complete a number of pieces by the end of the day. He is very good at explaining the techniques and demonstrating the skills, and good at providing individual help and suggestions during the day. I have been on a number of Martin's Glass courses, and would readily recommend them to anyone interested in trying something different."
