Reviews for Martin McAssey Glass

I have been attending Martin's class for a few years now as I love the relaxed creative environment. Martin is always supportive and gives great advice on ideas for the projects that I have carried out. I also love being able to see everyone else's projects and share ideas/get inspiration from them. The time spent in the class flies every week, and is very enjoyable - a great way to forget all of life's stresses.

A great course for beginners, or even as refresher course. Something new learned every week. Individual equipment which is good, lots of help from Martin who is an excellent teacher. A very motivational course. Definitely returning with a new project.

Classes are fantastic. Martin is a great teacher with a lot of patience and gentleness. I feel a real sense of achievement and he has helped me find skills within me that i didn't know existed. Looking forward to September already.

What a delight to get along to glass class each week. Martin is an excellent teacher who gives each of us the individual attention we require - from first timers to ambitious glass artists we each get just the right amount of support and encouragement. And at half way through each class he brings us a cup of tea - what's not to like?

The course is very well run and inspirational. It offers a good introduction to stained glass techniques for beginners in the class and encouragement for more experienced students to develop their preferred projects. The atmosphere is friendly and non judgmental which makes for enthusiastic and supportive classes. There are a large selection of books and the website gallery of students work provides plenty of ideas.

Martin is a brilliant teacher, calm, unflustered, clear when explaining different processes, patient, and always positive and affirming. The purpose built studio is equipped with everything needed by each student without having to share. This is a fantastic course.

I’ve done fused glass workshops as well as the stained glass course and absolutely love it! As a beginner it’s taken me a while to get the techniques right and thanks to Martins incredible patience and encouragement I am continuing to create lovely glass pieces I am very proud of. I highly recommend Martin McAssey Glass.

I have signed up for my third course with Martin starting in September. He has created a lovely relaxed place in which to study this craft. Always welcoming, friendly and patient, Martin encourages you, supports you and nothing is too much trouble for him. “Don’t worry, it’ll be alright, I can sort that for you” are words that spring readily from his lips, if things aren’t going as they should. I thoroughly enjoy the sessions.

A brilliant day and course. Martin is a wonderful teacher , explains everything really well and is on hand to offer advice and help when you need it. I love my traditional stained glass piece that I completed during the day.
Highly recommend this course

Brilliant! We learnt lots of new things, Martin demonstrated everything really well and was very patient. We all came away with a beautiful piece of stained glass. A great day. Thank you

martin is such a nice man and a really good teacher he is fair in that if you miss a class he really does his best to fit you in some where I love the classes and I so enjoy what I produce.

Love these weekly classes, very friendly, easy going and learning to do something a little out of the ordinary. Martin is helpful and knowledgeable and goes out of his way to make sure you don’t miss out on classes if there’s a week you can’t get to. He’s also very positive and works hard to help you produce some stunning work, however unusual the idea he’s presented with.
Highly recommended.

I have attended the classes with Martin for the last year. Martin is always encouraging and supportive, giving advice, praise and constructive criticism where appropriate. My confidence and skills have developed considerably since joining his course.

I have attended the class for just over a year, with no previous experience of stained glass work! Martin provides advice and instruction which has enabled me to have the confidence to produce work that I am pleased with. He is very helpful and the atmosphere in the class is great, working alongside other students and seeing their ideas and finished artwork. I would thoroughly recommend the class. lenda

I have attended classes for almost a year. The workshop is well equipped, well organised and safe. I was very unconfident at the start , however the course is well structured and Martin provides clear guidance and advice and encouragement. I really enjoy attending the classes, I have become more independent and confident in stained glasswork and pleased with the things I have made. Highly recommended.

My husband and I were looking for something that we could do together and he found Martin. Without question we enjoy every week that we go and have already booked into our second session of classes. We have learnt so much thru martins extensive knowledge and nothing is too much trouble no matter how many times we ask. I would recommend this course to anyone looking to do something different as a hobby and interest.
