"My husband, myself and grand daughters' Nan were given a surprise to attend the mosaic glass workshop as his lordship's 75th birthday gift. All three of us first timers, never having held the tools or glass before as a craft. We thoroughly enjoyed the day. Seeing the pictures of our masterpieces, Gigha the patient tutor has people lined up to join the classes. Gigha has a lovely workshop with delicious lunch and refreshments. I would recommend Gigha's classes highly. Shanta Shah"

"What a creative day. I attended with my sister and we'd waited with anticipation for ages as Gigha's workshops are so popular. She was so patient, knowledgeable and relaxed. We both started off with quite a little apprehension and were thrilled when we got the hang of glass cutting. The choice of glass and other bits and bobs was simply tremendous. A crafters paradise! We were in heaven. There was all manner of teas and coffees available all day and a delicious lunch with cakes to follow. I can't wait to book again."

"I attended two of Gigha well run courses, drift wood and making seagulls workshops. Both were fun, but run with care and attention to detail, care taken at all time with health and saftey, and reminding you when things are hot or you need to be aware. The workshop itself is full of glassy goodness, so bring pennies as youll want to buy her beautiful creations x All tools were there for all to use, and plentyfull too. Everything we needed, and no shortage of colours to choose from. Dinner was fantastic! Jacket potato and yummy salad. I attended both classes myself, and didnt feel at all left out, and had a really fun day both times, and ill be going back too x"

"I was a complete novice, but Gigha put me at ease. Her passion and enthusiasm was catching! She was very patient and attentive. The workshop was a lovely space to work in and as this was early December there was a festive feel! I came away with some lovely Christmasy light catchers. I will definitely be booking to attend another course."

"I had a fab day making a driftwood sea scene. Relaxed atmosphere with great music and very good tuition. Gigha is calm, precise with instructions and has a good sense of humour. She managed a fairly large group all doing different projects, with varying levels of ability very well. I will definitely be doing another course."

"I just had a wonderful day on a stained glass and driftwood workshop with Gigha. the room was full of inspiration and Gigha was an excellent and enthusiastic teacher. we all got stuck in straight away and Gigha was on hand for any help or support required. She laid on a super lunch but we were all so engrossed it was hard for her to tear us away! I would happily recommend her workshop and I will certainly be enrolling on another one."

"I had never done any stained glass work before so was amazed at what I managed to achieve on the day. My driftwood and stained glass piece has a pride of place catching the light in my window. Gigha is a fab teacher and the course is relaxed and well taught. I thoroughly enjoyed the day and can't wait to do some more glass work. I have already enrolled in some studio night sessions. Sue"

"My friend & I went on a copperfoil workshop & totall loved it all. Gigha was a really excellent tutor, her demonstrations were clear & easy to understand. She gave individual demonstrations if you needed extra guidance. We had never done any glass cutting before & it is so pleasing once you get the hang of it. We would thoroughly recommend Gigha's workshops. There were plenty of patterns & loads of glass & embellishments to choose from or you could choose to make your own design. We could help ourselves to tea, coffee & biscuits all day long & were given a lovely lunch of baked potatoes with cheese/ham/baked beans & salad, plus cakes and fruit to follow. Can't wait to try some leaded panels ;-)"

"We really enjoyed the workshop. My mum and I were able to learn at our own pace so it was a very welcome and relaxed day off for me and outing for my mum. Gigha's studio is well-equipped and she has everything you could possible want. She is so kind and patient, even when mum kept getting the pliers upside down! Thanks very much. Can't wait to try another one."

The Burton Family reviewed: Glass Fusing for beginners

"What a fabulous day we had. I booked a private family day for us to learn how to make stain glass sun catchers. Even though we were all beginners, we learned surprisingly quickly under Gigha's tuition and we all were very impressed at what we managed to produce. The day began with a safety talk and then a glass cutting demonstration. Lunch and endless tea and biscuits were provided and also cakes. The whole day was relaxed and so much fun we want to book for fusing very soon. We'll be back. Thank you so much."
