Nicky reviewed: Turning Up the Heat - 2-day Glass Fusing Course for Intermediates with Vitreus Art

"Jenny and Mike were both very welcoming and patient when I was struggling with a technique or understanding information they were imparting. The two days gave time to try new techniques and I learnt a lot from this course. I would happily book another course with them in the future. This two day course was bought as an early 60th birthday present from my husband and what a fabulous present it was. Thank you Jenny and Mike for an interesting and enjoyable two days."

This was a really good introduction to making a stain glass panel and everyone was able to take a finished product home with them."

"Many thanks for your review Jane - it was a pleasure working with you! Mike"

Christine reviewed: Stained Glass - Copper Foiling / Tiffany for Beginners

"I enjoyed the course. The first time I did stain glass was in high school. It was 40 years ago. But Mike brought a new meaning to stained glass, he provided a little history of the origin of glass and an interest in Tiffany’s glass. The new meaning of stained glass course was very challenging. I chose a pattern that involved 13 pieces. I thought it was quite easy to do with straight lines and triangles and squares. Mike and Jenny were both patient and supportive, they were patient and guided me through it all. I would not of completed in one day but got a lot of help and Mike and Jenny encouraged me to continue and complete the project. I did it and love the piece."

Vitreus Art responded:

"Thanks for your review Christine, we’re glad you like huge finished piece!"

Sue Davies reviewed: Expressive Plants and Flowers in Watercolours with Clare Tebboth at Vitreus Art

Jenny reviewed: Stained Glass Traditional Leading Workshop for Beginners

"A thoroughly enjoyable day. We did exactly as described bar eating our lunch in the workshop rather than at the nearby tearooms! At the end of a very long day we did all go home with items of which we were all justifiably proud and could legitimately say we pretty well did it all! We were encouraged to proceed and complete and both Mike & Jenny would encourage us to do, make mistakes and learn! They were very patient and prepared to repeat whatever was required to get to the end! As we all exceeded the course time, they still did not try to take over to speed the proceedings and I would like to thank them for their diligence. I would certainly recommend giving this course or any of the others a go if you fancy it!"

Vitreus Art responded:

"Many thanks for your review Jenny - we’re pleased you enjoyed the workshop! Mike"
