Caryl Hallett Stained Glass reviews

Pauline reviewed: Seasonal themes- stained glass

"I attended the Stained Glass Workshop recently. I attended with my friend as a birthday gift for her, and we were both a totally beginner. The workshop is very easy to find, we travelled by train to Starbeck. The workshop was lovely, right from the start we were welcomed by Caryl. There was a group of 5 of us for the workshop. Everyone was so very friendly and we all had a lovely day. Caryl was a great teacher, and worked at good pace. Always very patient and there to help when needed. Caryl kept us well supplied with drinks and lunch was delicious. I created some lovely Angels and a star. Thank you so much for such a lovely enjoyable day x"

Andrew Charlesworth reviewed: Painting and leading a glass panel

"Being a complete novice, Caryl did a first class job in explaining and demonstrating the tools and techniques. The whole process was broken down into stages and she ensured each of the four attendees were familiar with what was required. At the end of the course I came away with a piece of work with which I am delighted. Caryl's training style is excellent as were the facilities and goods provided. All in all, a great weekend. Thank you"

"Thank you so much Andrew for taking the time to post this review. Hope your busy bee panel got home safely with you and it now sits in pride of place in your home! Caryl "

Laura reviewed: Making a stained glass leaded panel

"Caryl was a great teacher and took our small group through the process of creating a stained glass leaded panel with clear instructions, patience, and humour. She catered for people who had come with designs in mind & those who wanted some inspiration, ensuring all projects were realistic in the time available. We were delighted with our finished pieces! The lunch spread was a lovely extra touch. Thanks Caryl! "

Stephanie Pritchard reviewed: Making a stained glass leaded panel

"We got this course as a gift for our parents. They were able to arrange a date that suited them. Caryl kept in touch and made sure they knew what to expect. My parents attended the workshop this past weekend and had a brilliant time. They clearly enjoyed the session. They both made beautiful stained glass panels. They said the group was small so they had plenty of support to make their panels. I'm very pleased we chose this gift for them. Thanks Caryl. "

Caryl Hallett Stained Glass responded:

"Hi Stephanie. Thank you for your positive review of the day. I’m so glad your parents enjoyed themselves. It was a pleasure to teach them. Caryl "

Louise Johnson reviewed: Making a stained glass leaded panel

"Having attended a couple of workshops for this skill, I was feeling very unskilled. I have learned more from Caryl in her one day course than I did from the others put together. Caryl shared her tips and methods openly and addressed all of the worries I had. A thoroughly enjoyable day during which I was able to produce a panel I feel very proud of. I would heartily recommend to anybody, beginner or not, as Caryl tailors to your own needs. Get booking!"

Caryl Hallett Stained Glass responded:

"Thank you so much for your great feedback Louise- very much appreciated. Good luck with your future glass projects! Caryl x"
