"What a fabulous time we had on this course. Jamal is so passionate about his work and such a patient tutor. We all produced a small panel of stained glass to bring home. To work in his studio surrounded by examples of his work was indeed a privilege and an experience I would recommend anyone I try. Many thanks Jamal "

Steph Davis reviewed: Stained glass leading for beginners

"What a privilege to spend a day with Jamal in his studio. He was incredibly knowledgeable and we learned so much about the process of creating stained glass windows with examples of Jamal's own amazing work. His explanation and demonstration regarding leaded glass was detailed but paced so that we could easily follow and the pieces we created we were all extremely proud of. We had a fabulous day and would highly recommend this workshop to anyone who is interested in glass. Thank you Jamal! "

"Did the 1 day course with my wife. Thoroughly enjoyed it. Jamal was very patient and took time to explain everything. We each came away with our own piece of leaded glass. Now costing up the start of my new hobby."

Francesca Turner reviewed: Stained glass leading for beginners

"Jamal was a very interesting and informative teacher. His knowledge and experience was evident in his approach. It was a wonderful course paced just right and each stage was skillfully demonstrated and discussed. Despite our limited ability we achieved our stained glass pieces with help from Jamal. There was plenty of time for us to ask questions and discover for ourselves how difficult it is to produce leaded stain glass panels. We enjoyed hearing all about the history of how Jamal found his craft. Thank you Jamal for a lovely day and thank you for your hospitality. "

Stained Glassic responded:

"Dear Francesca Turner, Many Thanks for your lovely feedback. It was great to have you both in my studio! Kindest Regards, Jamal Rafay - StainedGlassic"

"We attended the one day introduction course as a Birthday present for my partner. Thoroughly enjoyed it. Jamal, the tutor, was very informative about the history of stain glass and spoke about his years of working in stain glass. We came away from the course with own panel of stain glass, thanks to help and patience of a very good tutor. When you do this course, take a look at the marvelous work he has on his studio walls!"

"I really appreciate Mik & Liz . Thanks for coming and booking a course with me. "

"I cannot recommend the one day stained glass leading course enough. Jamal was an incredible host. He introduced us to the history of stained glass, his experiences during his career in the field and went on to explain the techniques involved. We chose designs that he supplied or ones that we had prepared, and proceeded with the glass cutting initially. Jamal was fantastically attentive to all 3 of us, helping out regularly when required. The lead cutting, assembly, soldering and putty filling all followed quickly. Suddenly we each had a beautiful stained glass panel, enhanced finally with brushing and polishing. This was an incredible course packed with content by an experienced instructor who communicated in an interesting and relaxed manner. The practical side was well explained and organised and we all ended up with something to proudly take home."

Stained Glassic responded:

"I really appreciate Pat . Thanks for coming and booking a course with me. "

"My sister and I did the 2 day course where we learned to paint, cut and lead glass with Jamal, whilst learning a bit about the famous Hardman Victorian glass studio where Jamal previously worked. It was a wonderful experience watching our panels gradually form in his tiny workshop. He was endlessly patient. Don’t worry if you can’t draw as of course you trace the picture through the glass and he has lots of beautiful old designs to use or inspire. Thankyou"

Danny Holliday reviewed: 'Art of Stained Glass' - Oldbury, Birmingham

"Jamal's one day Stained Glass and Leading course was absolutely fantastic. I've always had an interest in stained glass. It was a really informative course and I found it incredibly interesting. Jamal is incredibly knowledgeable, experienced and patient. I was part of a course with two other people. The practical elements of the course were great. I learned all of the steps involved in producing a piece of stained glass and had a lovely little product I'd made over the course of the day to take home and display. I'd highly recommend the course. A fantastic experience if you have an interest in this area or just want to try something new. I had an interest without ever having had a go at it. I'm glad I did!"

Duncan Webb reviewed: Stained glass leading for beginners

"What a splendid course !!!! I learnt glass cutting and leading skills from a gifted artist with a wealth of knowledge & experience. I feel I now have the ability to try my own project knowing what I need, where to get it from, and where I can get support if needed. The course also meant that I left with a leaded, stained glass sample, crafted by my own hands. Thank you very much. Duncan"
