Eleanor Bird reviewed: Stained Glass- Mosaic Workshop with April Pebble!

"I enrolled for the large glass on glass mosaic day with April. There were 7 of us on the course. April provided all the materials we needed and we each had a workstation and instructions. The day was very enjoyable and we all went away with a completed picture for grouting at home."

April Pebble responded:

"Thanks for coming Eleanor, it was lovely to have you all in the workshop. It was great to see your design that you brought and made, whilst others worked from the templates provided too. All the best- :)"

"Another enjoyable and successful day working with April and producing a beautiful glass mosaic picture. I can’t recommend April’s courses enough, her workshop is well equipped and she’s a knowledgeable and patient teacher, we can’t wait for the next one!"

April Pebble responded:

"Ah thats kind of you to say Jan, thanks for coming again! I hope the grouting has gone well, I have finished the panel that got left for grouting and it turned out really well- so I am sure yours will too! Have a lovely festive time x"

Linda reviewed: Fused Glass Christmas Decorations with April Pebble

"Thoroughly enjoyed the workshop! I am not a naturally creative person but had great fun making my Christmas decorations. April was lovely - really informative, helpful and calming for a novice such as myself. Looking forward to picking up the finished articles once they have been in the kiln."

April Pebble responded:

"Ah thanks for these words linda, it was great to see your creativity shine through and you made some really lovely pieces. They are all now out of the kiln so you can pick them up on thurs-sat, between 10- 3pm from the Woven cafe or private message me if you want to get them a different time. Warm wishes, April "

Jacky King reviewed: Fused Glass Christmas Decorations with April Pebble

"I did a course last year with April so that in itself speaks volumes. April is very generous of spirit. She shares her skills in a friendly and clear way. Although I aways seemed to have forgotten something or needed advice... she was ALWAYS there to help - right away! I have mobility needs and use a walker. With a little bit of help I could get into the workshop and then I had a chair to let me sit down if I needed a break. Although it helps if you can stand to cut the glass - you don't have to.... April will help. Thorough recommend April and this Fused Glass course without reservation! And now there is a café and gallery next door."

April Pebble responded:

"Hi Jacky, thanks for this shining review! It was a joy to see you and Gwen again! I am glad you find it an accessible space and that you feel supported within the structure of the workshop. I'm excited for our mosaic workshop day to come too! Warm wishes, April :)"

"Thanks so much for coming Ellie! It was super lovely to have you & Josh in the workshop :) "

Rosie reviewed: Stained Glass Panel Workshop with April Pebble

"I went with my best friend to celebrate your joint birthdays and we couldn't have had a nicer time! April is very friendly, knowledgeable and patient. She helped us make glass Windows that were are both incredible proud of and sparked out interested in further glass work and crafting courses. I would definitely recommend this course to others. The price may seem high but its well worth it for the experience!"

April Pebble responded:

"Thanks for the review Rosie for coming along too! So glad you had a nice time, it was a pleasure to have you both in the workshop. I aim to keep the cost of the workshops as fair as I can & also create an enjoyable day for all! Hopefully see you again :) "

Glenice Cox reviewed: Stained Glass Panel Workshop with April Pebble

"I did the Stained Glass panel course in April 2024 (sorry for delayed review!) It was brilliant and I was really pleased to take home my panel at the end of the day. April is kind and patient and gives very clear instructions at each stage. You won’t get left behind if you are a bit slower and she will help you, both with technique and choice of colours/materials. I thoroughly recommend this day course, great value and I would do it again! Thanks!"

Jan Wright reviewed: Stained Glass Panel Workshop with April Pebble

"My sister and I had an interesting day learning how to make a glass panel with April. She’s a very knowledgeable tutor and explained each step of the process very well. I am more than happy to recommend this class to anyone with an interest in stained glass panelling, you won’t be disappointed and will leave with a great memento of your day. "

April Pebble responded:

"Ah thanks so much Jan, it was a pleasure having you both in the session! April :)"

Lesley Johnson reviewed: Stained Glass Panel Workshop with April Pebble

"This was a really great day course. I learned so much from it and thoroughly enjoyed the day. April was clear in her instructions and demonstrations and gave good advice from start to finish. It is a course I would certainly recommend. Everything is provided and you come home with a lovely stained glass piece. A postivie achievement! Thanks April!"

April Pebble responded:

"Thanks so much Lesley! It was a pleasure to meet you and really happy it was a positive day out for you! I hope you now have your panel somewhere catching the light- warmest wishes, April "

Jacqui R reviewed: Stained Glass Panel Workshop with April Pebble

"Fabulous teaching and encouragement. Lots of choice of glass. April allowed me to create my own design within her teaching parameters. The class wasn’t too big. The only negatives was quite a high bench to work on and the actual studio was hard to find."

April Pebble responded:

"Thanks for attending the workshop Jacqui and it was great to see you make your design! I have now added a clearer pin and directions so that it is easier for others to find. With regards to the workshop bench it was made to meet the standard requirement height and be overall accessible to people of all heights. I appreciate your feedback regarding this though and I will now offer individuals a lower working space or a step should they require it- All the best, April :)"

Imogen reviewed: Stained Glass Panel Workshop with April Pebble

"April was a fantastic facilitator, really kind and very knowledgeable. She was really engaged with the class and found the perfect balance between supporting us and leaving us to explore on our own. Such a cute workshop to host the class in. I would be keen to attend more of April’s classes. "

Tracy Williams reviewed: Fused Glass Christmas Decorations with April Pebble

"What a great experience! Having never ever attempted glass fusion before, I really didn’t know what to expect. I knew what I wanted to make for a charity trip in the new year and I was over the moon that April had gone out of her way to get specific glass just for this! She’s warm, welcoming, patient and very knowledgeable! I highly recommend this experience! "

Glenice Cox reviewed: Fused Glass Christmas Decorations with April Pebble

"We went to the Fused Glass taster session on 2nd December. It was brilliant and I would thoroughly recommend it! April went through the principles and the tools, and guided us through the basic steps. We made Christmas decorations and those who were more confident were able to make an additional item. I want to go on the mosaic course next! PS a lovely coffee was included from the neighbouring cafe."

April Pebble responded:

"Thanks for coming to the fusing session Glenice, it was really lovely to meet you & your fused glass decoration came out great! "

Beth Stanley reviewed: Stained Glass Panel Workshop with April Pebble

"Really excellent course! April was a great tutor - really friendly and approachable. Course had clear teaching and a good structure with a small enough group that everyone had time to sort out anything they struggled with. All attendees had made a decent panel by the end of the course and went away understanding techniques. Really fun day, other half and I enjoyed it a lot. "

April Pebble responded:

"Thanks so much for coming Beth & Tim, you both were a joy to have in the workshop! "

Stewart reviewed: Stained Glass Panel Workshop with April Pebble

"My wife an I enjoyed the day. April was an excellent tutor and by the end of the day we had each produced a very good looking panel. The course gave us the confidence we hope and shall return to work with April to create a window fitting for our house that has many stained glass window from the 19th century. We are happy to recommend the course for anybody wishing to learn the skills to start working with stained glass and lead."

April Pebble responded:

"That's very kind of you Stewart, it was a pleasure to have you & Maggie in the workshop and I hope you find a suitable space for both of your stained glass panels! "
