Maker's bio

I'd been working with glass for over 30 years before starting to teach glass art in 2014. I've exhibited with the Contemporary Glass Society and at the International Festival of Glass as well as taking part in masterclasses in glass fusing and glass casting. There are few things I love more than sharing my passion for glass art with other people, whether complete beginners or people with years of experience under their belts. Come, try a course and see if you love it as much as I do! If you'd like to book more places than are shown on the site, please get in touch. Not all availability is shown on here, as I also take bookings through my own website. So there might be room for a larger group. Mattt

David Thorndycraft reviewed: Traditional leaded stained glass course in beautiful Kent

"I really enjoyed the traditional stained glass workshop. Mattt is a great tutor and a lot of hands on learning was packed into the 2 days. I was very pleased with the little window panel that I made. Great tuition, great food and great company- who would want more?"

"Hi David. Thank you for your kind words. It was lovely to welcome you to the studio and I do hope to see you again soon! Warm regards, Mattt"

Kathryn Vera-Cruz reviewed: Stained glass mosaic one day experience in the Kent Downs near Canterbury

"My daughter and I had a really good day with Matt who is very knowledgeable in the art of everything glass. Hospitality, lovely setting, welcoming, encouraging, all perfect, everything you could wish for. We both came away with lovely mosaic plaques that we never dreamt we were capable of producing. Highly recommended. "

"Thanks Kathryn! Your panels were both lovely; I'm glad that you're proud of them. It was a pleasure to welcome you both to the studio. I hope you'll come again! "
