Mabel reviewed: Tiffany stained glass Christmas decorations

"This course was so inclusive to those who have and haven't created any stained glass pieces before, with Kate helping everyone as much as needed at every stage. I left being so excited to join another course and I couldn't stop telling people about how fun it was especially leaving with multiple pieces I created. I've recommended this to so many people and if you're reading this, I'd suggest you join up. Everyone was so lovely, even though I joined the class by myself I felt so welcome. Thank you, Kate!"

Martin McAssey Glass responded:

"Thank you for the lovely review, I'm so glad you enjoyed the course."

"This course was great! Kate was extremely friendly & knowledgeable, making the day one of creative fun! Refreshments were available throughout - with lunch having to be prebooked, on arrival, at the cafe on-site! Being a total beginner, I managed to come away with three Christmas decorations, to be proud of! I'll definitely be returning in the future to learn more!"

Martin McAssey Glass responded:

"Thank you for the lovely review, glad you enjoyed your day."

Liz Norris reviewed: Tiffany stained glass Christmas decorations

"The tutor Kate was wonderful and so patient. Everything was explained and demonstrated. So, even though the only glass I had ever previously met was a drinking one, I produced four beautiful coloured glass Christmas decorations by the end of the day. My arthritis disabilities were catered for sympathetically, for which I was very thankful. Thank you. "

Martin McAssey Glass responded:

"Thank you for the lovely review, we're glad you enjoyed your day."

Meredith reviewed: Tiffany stained glass Christmas decorations

"What a fantastic day! Right from the beginning, we were made welcome by Kate, who gave us a safety brief and answered any questions we had. I was a complete novice to glass crafting but Kate was an excellent teacher who gave us step-by-step instructions to ensure we were successful! We learned so many new skills and created some amazing Xmas baubles! I would highly recommend this course and will probably be back myself next year! Thankyou Kate! X"
