Katie Banks reviewed: Beginners’ Stained Glass, One Day Course, Llandeilo, Wales - archive

"This 1 day course is a great way to get your creativity flowing. We had a fantastic time designing, cutting and leading up our glass and Simon is such a welcoming and friendly host (he even provides endless cups of tea and delicious biscuits). If you’re looking for a ‘me’ day, this course is perfect. It offers a balance between creative therapy and thoroughly informed glass education - Simon is an expert in his field and has many inspirational pieces hanging in his studio to make you all envious. I want to thank Simon especially for offering up more time than he should have in the evening to ensure that everyone left having finished their light catchers. We are beyond grateful. I wish I could afford to do this every single weekend and look forward to picking up my finished piece."

Simon Howard Glass responded:

"Thank you so much Katie. That’s such a lovely thing to say. It was a real pleasure having you both here for the day; and your pieces look fantastic!"

Jane Rickwood reviewed: Beginners’ Stained Glass, One Day Course, Llandeilo, Wales - archive

"Thoroughly enjoyed this day long course and the introduction to making a stained glass panel. There were only two other friendly ladies on the day and we each created panels that were so different, and our own designs. Simon took time to explain and demonstrate the creative process in detail in a relaxed environment. I now have an even greater appreciation of the work and hours involved to make these special pieces as Simon does - he is a Master in his field. Would certainly recommend this course - you'll be delighted with your creation."

"Excellent teaching, very enjoyable and relaxing atmosphere. Excellent value for money too. I was surprised and delighted with my finished product considering that I knew nothing about cutting glass or drawing or anything about stained glass! I can’t wait to be able to do another course with Simon Howard."

Justine Stroud reviewed: Beginners’ Stained Glass, One Day Course, Llandeilo, Wales - archive

"Simon was very welcoming when I arrived for the course, he has a workshop with all the tools, equipment, books and a very wide range of glass to choose from. He helped when I needed help but also let me experiment with the glass creatively as much as I could as a beginner. I enjoyed the day experiencing a new craft with lots of tea and biscuits. I live a fair distance away so Simon kindly delivered my stained glass to me when he was in the area. I learnt a lot during the day about the process of making a piece of stained glass, had lots of tea and chats with the group and got to meet his lovely family. Thank you so much for this lovely experience, I look forward to the next one."
