Lisa Stevens reviewed: Two day (consecutive) stained glass starter course at North Norfolk Stained Glass

"I cannot recommend this course highly enough. Paul is the most amazing tutor and explained everything in great detail. He had so much patience and the two days went by so quickly. At the end of the second day we were all able to take home a finished piece of stained glass that we had made from scratch. The other three ladies on the course were so lovely and it was a weekend I will not forget in a hurry."

"What a fabulous course. I am definitely not a crafty or creative person but completely loved this and cannot believe that I have made an amazing stained glass panel from scratch! Paul’s teaching style is really great and gave me the confidence to do things. Highly recommended"

"I had a lovely time yesterday with Paul and Natalie. They made a great team. Paul helped show us the technical side and Natalie steered us with the artistic bit. I'd never done any glass work before but that didn't matter.. I'm looking forward to seeing my finished plaque after it's been kilned."

"A super couple very knowledgeable in every aspect of glass art."

Helen Kurtz reviewed: One day fused glass course at North Norfolk Stained Glass

"We spent a fantastic day with Paul and Natalie yesterday. We learnt how to cut glass first of all and then worked on our own designs. Natalie was so accommodating and helped us to find ways of creating the images we had in our minds. It was totally absorbing and it felt wonderful to be totally immersed in creativity. Would recommend 100% to anyone thinking of having a go. We want to return to do more! Thank you so much ?"

Vanessa Baylay reviewed: One day fused glass course at North Norfolk Stained Glass

"It was a wonderful day- both were very patient with us and Natalie helped us come up with ideas and encouraged us. It would be helpful to have instructions to get there as we git quite lost and were late but they were understanding and didn't rush us. Can't wait to see the end results. Would definitely recommend"

"This was a great way to spend a day! Paul and Natalie made us feel welcome and relaxed, with excellent teaching and guidance, and all in a beautiful setting. You end up with a lovely piece of individual fused glass. Meeting Grace at end of the day was a delightful bonus. I would thoroughly recommend this course."

"An excellent and enjoyable day. Natalie and Paul are fabulous teachers and all three of us made a piece of fused glass artwork that we can proudly hang on the wall. I will be returning for more courses with them."

David Greenhill reviewed: Two day (consecutive) stained glass starter course at North Norfolk Stained Glass

"I attended this brilliant course in December, the tuition was fantastic. Paul took me through every stage of the glass panel making and with his guidance was able to complete a leaded panel over the two days from start to finish. This has given me the confidence as a complete novice to be able to attempt some of my own work. I highly recommend this course."

"What a fantastic day! Paul and Natalie are the kinds of teachers who make you feel able to achieve so much more than you thought possible. I enjoyed every part of the day and will be booking another course with them in the new year. Highly recommended"

Corrina Nicholson reviewed: One day fused glass course at North Norfolk Stained Glass

"Had such a super day with Paul and Natalie and would thoroughly recommend this one day fused glass course. We were in a lovely setting in rural North Norfolk (and were provided with excellent instructions on how to find the venue) and the workspace was set out well with plenty of space for the three of us attending the course. The day started with Paul teaching us about the different types of glass and how to cut glass safely and properly starting with straight cuts and moving on to curved cuts which we were able to practice to ensure we felt comfortable with this. We then worked with Natalie to explore all the types of glass further and to design our own fused glass item. I am delighted with what I achieved and am looking forward to returning in the future to do another course. I would highly recommend this course."

Petra reviewed: One day fused glass course at North Norfolk Stained Glass

"Highly recommended; Paul is a great teacher, his teaching skills were impressive and Natalie is a great fantastic designer with such beautiful ideas; I enjoyed the workshop very much, it was my first experience working with glass and cannot believe to have produced a beautiful outcome. The course is held in a beautiful and calm atmosphere, lunch was so yummy and beautiful served. All in all, I had a very beautiful day and I definitely want to come back! Thank you so much Natalie and Paul for a great experience, for all the knowledge you shared and for just giving us an amazing day, with lots of love, Petra from St Ives, Cambridgeshire xx"

Sarah & Ray reviewed: Two day (consecutive) stained glass starter course at North Norfolk Stained Glass

"We did the 2-day stained glass window course & thoroughly enjoyed the whole thing from start to finish. Paul explained everything so well & imparted his knowledge to us so that we could really engage with the process & execute each step with confidence. Paul was patient & encouraging, only stepping in if we asked for assistance, apart from when he absolutely had to do the polishing! We were pleased to each be able to take home a finished panel which were immediately put on display. If you have been considering learning how to do stained glass we would highly recommend this course. Thank you Paul, & also thank you Natalie for the lunches."

"We had a fabulous relaxed two days with Paul, Natalie and Grace. Idyllic surroundings, lovely food, great conversation and brilliant teaching. And let’s not forget the chance to meet little Gracie. We could not have enjoyed it more, many thanks."

Kevin Cheetham reviewed: Two day (consecutive) stained glass starter course at North Norfolk Stained Glass

"A very enjoyable and informative experience. The two day course has inspired me to take stained glass making up as a serious hobby. From the outset Paul led us through every stage with meticulous attention to detail, only getting involved when necessary. I cannot recommend this course highly enough. And the tea was great."

North Norfolk Stained Glass responded:

"Hello Kevin - thank you for your feedback! Glad you enjoyed the course and the tea ☕️ ? Best wishes Natalie"

Jo lowe reviewed: One day fused glass course at North Norfolk Stained Glass

"Absolutely brilliant! If you are looking at this course just do it. Fantastic value for money, Paul and Natalie are so friendly, welcoming and awesome teachers. Paul was so patient with us, and Natalie really helped find ways to bring more to what we were creating and couldn’t have been more helpful. I bought this as a gift for my mum and sister (along with myself!) and couldn’t have been a better day. Left having learnt something and really wanting to do more of it!! Couldn’t find fault if I tried - lunch and refreshments were brilliant, gorgeous setting, just perfect. You’ll leave feeling really proud of what you create, and have had a great day."

North Norfolk Stained Glass responded:

Adrian reviewed: Two day (consecutive) stained glass starter course at North Norfolk Stained Glass

"I did the 2-day stained glass window course. There was just 2 on the course so got lots of one-on-one tuition. This course is excellent and I really enjoyed it. I was amazed that I was able to make a complete stained glass unit after just 2 days :)"

North Norfolk Stained Glass responded:

"Hi Adrian ? Thank you for your fab review! I hope both yours and Mandy’s panels are hanging pride of place in your window at home! :) Best wishes Natalie, Paul & Gracie xx"

Lisa Davies reviewed: One day fused glass course at North Norfolk Stained Glass

"Had a brilliant day making a fused glass panel with Paul and Natalie. They were friendly, patient and the course was lots of fun! Well worth trying if you want to have a crafty day doing something creative. I was up here on a weeks holiday and decided to do a couple of craft courses at the last minute. Natalie was very helpful and accommodating and I am so glad I was able to try glass fusing. Excellent value for money too! Would highly recommend"

North Norfolk Stained Glass responded:

"Hello Lisa, Thank you for a fantastic review! You were a pleasure to have here, thank you for coming ? Hope you had a lovely holiday too! All the best! Natalie"

Yvonne Afford reviewed: One day fused glass course at North Norfolk Stained Glass

"Have just spent a great day with Natalie and Paul making glass jewellery. They were great, very friendly and welcoming also both very knowledgeable and creative. Started the morning by learning the basic glass cutting techniques with Paul. The oil filled cutter was a revelation! Then Natalie helped me to make some bespoke glass jewellery which I can’t wait to pick up after it has been in the kiln. Would definitely recommend this course as it is fun, creative and such a lovely way to spend a day totally absorbed in craft. I also thought that the course was excellent value as I made two pendants and three pairs of earrings plus had lunch and gallons of coffee! Check out the glass kits that you can buy from them too. Having seen them for real, if you can’t get to a course they provide a way to make something beautiful at home and good value too!"

"Really enjoyed this course with Paul. He is a good teacher with lots of experience and passion for stained glass.I proudly came away with a lovely leaded panel and a desire to take up this up as a hobby.Dont hesitate to book the course!"

Helen North reviewed: One day fused glass course at North Norfolk Stained Glass

"My two teenage daughters and I had an excellent day learning how to cut glass without cutting ourselves, and making some beautiful creations between us. Paul was patient and attentive, full of creative ideas to facilitate the pictures we wanted to create, and pulling all sorts of exciting glass out for us to experiment with. We can't wait to receive the finished product once they've gone in the kiln. I can honestly say that it was money very well spent. The biggest challenge now is saving the pennies to buy my own kiln, to start my new hobby! (Also, very happy with Covid safety ... Very well thought out and delivered. We wore masks all day, socially distanced during teaching, and had plenty of hand gel and paper towels. We also had our own tools to use throughout the day.) Thank you also for the simple but yummy lunch, and endless supply of beverages and biscuits!"

"Top notch! What a brilliant day filled with creativity and fuelled with cups of tea. (Thanks Paul.) I can't recommend this course enough - I'm thrilled with what was achieved in the day ???"

Siobhan Fox reviewed: One day fused glass course at North Norfolk Stained Glass

"Absolutely brilliant day with Paul. Very enjoyable, very interesting, very therapeutic! Paul was very knowledgable and patient and could not do enough to help us throughout the day. A great way to celebrate our mums 70th. Would definitely do this again or perhaps the stained glass workshop next time."

Bronwen May reviewed: One day fused glass course at North Norfolk Stained Glass

"The five of us (2 adults and 3 teenagers) spent a fabulous day with Paul and Natalie learning about fused glass and making our own pieces. Paul and Natalie are very welcoming and excellent teachers. We absolutely loved it."
