"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. "

I learnt so much and cannot recommend the course enough, I cant wait to start working on my own projects in the future. "

"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"

"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!"

"I was given Jamal's 4 day course as a present and it proved to be one of the best. As well as being a superb glass artist, Jamal is a patient and encouraging teacher. With a maximum of 3 students, (Jamal says people inspired by stained glass always seem to be lovely people) the tuition is tailored to each individual. I enjoyed the experience thoroughly and am really proud of my own unique piece of stained glass art."
