Sarah Armitage reviewed: Introduction to leaded stained glass

"A wonderful day spent trying a new craft with the helpful and extremely patient and knowledgeable Gen. It was a full day from 9.30am until 5.30pm with a delicious lunch provided. The course was worth every penny and is a brilliant way to treat yourself or others. . Gen was so attentive to all four of us who all had a range of experience and worked at different paces - she was amazing. I came away with a lovely stained glass panel which I’m very proud of. Thank you Gen!"

Wicked Gen Crafts responded:

"I am so glad you had a lovely day and learned lots. You made a lovely individual piece to be proud of. Well done!"

Jo Courtney reviewed: Introduction to leaded stained glass

"A really interesting and exciting day learning how to make a small stained glass (leaded) window. As a complete novice, I was a bit concerned - but I was taken through the process step by step by Gen. For each stage, Gen explained the process really well and in a way that was easy to follow. With four students we got lots of one to one support when needed. It was so lovely to see my design evolve as the day went on. I felt very proud of my finished piece. Overall it was a really excellent day with a patient and knowledgeable tutor. I'd really recommend this course to anyone who wants to 'try' stained glass. Thanks Gen!"

Wicked Gen Crafts responded:

"Thank you for such lovely feedback. I had a great time with you all and loved seeing how proud you were with your finished piece at the end of the day. Well done!"

Niall Clarke reviewed: Introduction to leaded stained glass

"I treated my partner as a birthday present. We both enjoyed the experience immensely. The tutor is an excellent coach and host; the small group (just five of us) made for a really pleasant, supportive environment. We couldn’t believe what we ended up with having never atempted any of the techniques before. We couldn’t fault it."

Sheila Bloomfield reviewed: Creating fused glass lanterns - 1 large, 2 medium or 3 small

"Genevieve was enthusiastic & clear in her instructions showing us all the types of glass we were to use and the effects they would create. A really interesting tutor to talk to . She was passionate about her craft and also Halifax in general. It would have been good to see a few more examples before we started. My friend and I thoroughly enjoyed the experience and are looking forward to picking up our finished items after they have been fired."

Amy N reviewed: Kiln fired enamelling on copper taster (morning)

"I have now done both the half and full day enamelling course and both were excellent. Gen is a friendly and approachable tutor, and very supportive, offering you as much or as little help as you need. The courses are very relaxed, and there are lots of options for things to make and different techniques to try. I would definitely recommend these courses to anyone interested in giving enamelling a try!"

Caroline Elliott reviewed: Introduction to leaded stained glass

"Had a brilliant day with Gen. Did the stained glass course which was a bit trickier than I had anticipated but Gen was really patient and showed me what to do when I had gotten in a muddle. Had a super lunch and sat chatting with the other lady Joanne on the course. Learnt a lot of new things about cutting glass with the different tools. Would definitely recommend this course and I’m sure the fused glass course it just as educational. Thank you Gen."
