" I had a wonderful time on the one day scrap glass mosaic course with Kate. Although I have experience with using glass, there is always something new to learn! The final results were beautiful, everyone being given the chance to allow their creativity to flow. I am really looking forward to using up my scrap glass with lots of ideas already in mind! I would recommend this day to anyone. Thanks Kate"

Rachel Law reviewed: Tiffany stained glass wild flowers workshop

"I simply loved this course. You are instructed clearly on how to make beautiful glass flowers. It’s a full day, 10-5, with a break for lunch. I think there were approximately 10 people on the course which felt perfect for our workspace. All the equipment was in good working order and there was plenty of coloured glass to choose from. Everybody took home a gorgeous bunch of forever flowers. All were different as we were allowed to do our own designs….Absolutely recommend "

Martin McAssey Glass responded:

"Thank you for the lovely review, we're really pleased you enjoyed the workshop."

Georgina Aitken reviewed: Tiffany stained glass wild flowers workshop

"I had a wonderful weekend not only completing this course but also the tiffany tea light course. I achieved a bunch of pretty glass flowers that are now displayed very effectively in a recycled gin bottle I also have a tea light holder that sits proudly next to it sprinkling sparkling light across the table top. Kate the instructor for both days was very knowledgeable, was able communicate and demonstrate techniques and tasks effectively. There was just the right mix between giving practical assistance and standing back and letting you achieve on your own."

Martin McAssey Glass responded:

"Thank you for the lovely review, I'm glad you enjoyed the workshops. We hope to see you back in the studio at some point in the future."

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

"Martin is a superstar as a teacher. He has taught us all the basic skills and then only intervenes when there's a technical problem that we can't sort out for ourselves. There's a lot to learn and he's the person to guide you through. Highly recommended."

Martin McAssey Glass responded:

"Thank you for the review."

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

"Additional review of the One day Scrap Glass course : I also did the one day scrap glass course with Kate Billington this Autumn which I would also highly recommend. Kate is a great teacher, all materials are supplied and we managed to cram in all the techniques and steps leading to a completed scrap glass mosaic piece by the end of the day. It was a great way to utilise spare small stained glass pieces to make another beautiful object! "

Martin McAssey Glass responded:

"Thank you."

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

"This was my first ever stained glass course, having been inspired to try this field from a previous mosaic glass course. I found this course to be excellent in building my skills from novice to having produced three pieces of work by the end of the course using the various techniques listed. It has been a great outlet for my creativity and I have found the lessons very enjoyable, a place where I can just switch off from the outside world and be in the creative zone for a few hours each week. All tools are supplied on the course and a thorough instruction is given in how to use them and any safety procedures to follow. The workshop is modern, purpose-built, well located with parking and accessible by public transport. Martin is a great instructor, offering good quality teaching, advice on all aspects including on my own end project and gave me good encouragement throughout the course which built my confidence further. I would not hesitate to recommend this course and I have already booked for my second course in 2023. "

Martin McAssey Glass responded:

"Thank you for such a lovely review, I'm really pleased you enjoyed the course & we look forward to seeing you in the studio next year."
