Emma reviewed: Copper Foil Technique Stained Glass

"I travelled over 40 miles for this course, so hoped it would be worth it. I was not disappointed, Amanda was so helpful, describing each process, adapting my own patterns which I had bought, choosing different colour and patterned glass and advising at every stage. She is very patient, lovely to talk to and gives the best one to one help, never rushing you. She even offered help if I ever needed it on future projects I wanted to do at home. Plus the bacon baguette for lunch was spot on. Definitely recommend this copper foiling course and I proudly came away with two pieces "

Dragonfly Glass Art responded:

"Awwww, thanks for taking the time to write such a lovely review. It was lovely to meet you, and I hope you continue to enjoy making lots more glass things at home!"

Janette W reviewed: Copper Foil Technique Stained Glass

"I would recommend this craft opportunity to all! This was a gift from my family for a significant birthday so I chose something different to my usual hobby making and so was a complete novice. Amanda was very patient, explains and demonstrates each step in detail and offers the time for you to practice. She was great at working at my pace and allowing me the time to work and supporting me to feel confident in making the pieces at each stage. We chose the glass that would work with the pattern and practiced cutting. It is in a relaxed atmosphere and space and she does a lovely bacon baguette. She also has some lovely pieces on display that I’m going to seek out on the website."

Dragonfly Glass Art responded:

"Janette, Thanks for taking the time to write a review, much appreciated! I'm so glad that you had a good day and learnt a lot too. Your finished pieces looked great, hopefully now they are in pride of place at home!! Best wishes, Amanda 🙂 "

Kathryn Hornshaw reviewed: Copper Foil Technique Stained Glass

"What a wonderful day. Amanda made me and my daughter feel welcome from the minute we arrived. She is so knowledgeable and informative. We learnt how to cut glass and use a pattern. Next we used the grinder to help smooth out our glass. After that we learnt how to apply the copper foil round our glass. Then a break for lunch which was delicious. In the afternoon we learnt to solder our pieces together and came away with three lovely pieces each. I highly recommend this course. Thank you Amanda."

Dragonfly Glass Art responded:

"Hi Kathryn, Thanks so much for taking the time to write a review! I'm glad that you had a good day. It was lovely to meet you both, and you were a pleasure to teach!! Best wishes, Amanda 🙂 "

Sue Renn reviewed: Copper Foil Technique Stained Glass

"We spent a day at Dragonfly Glass Art, making copper-foil glass sun catchers. Amanda was friendly and welcoming and checked what we already knew before starting. She gave a demonstration of glass cutting and then we had a chance to practice until confident before choosing the patterns for the pieces we’d make. Amanda has a good selection of patterns and, during the day we made three pieces each. Each technique was demonstrated clearly and then we were able to make our own pieces, with Amanda providing help when needed. I’m very pleased with what we made and would happily recommend this course. "

Dragonfly Glass Art responded:

"Hi Sue, Thanks so much for taking the time to write a review! It was lovely to meet you and Jas, and it was a pleasure to spend the day teaching you! All the best, Amanda "

Heather Donaldson reviewed: Copper Foil Technique Stained Glass

"My husband and I have just done the one day copper foil stained glass technique course and we have had a brilliant day and come away with four pieces of artwork that we love and are proud of. Special thanks to Amanda who is friendly, patient and knowledgeable and ensured we had an enjoyable productive day as well as providing drinks throughout the day and a tasty lunch. Would absolutely recommend this course to anybody interested in stained glass and we will be attending again at some later date. Amanda showed us some of her own work, and it is just so beautiful, and I think we know what we will be giving people for presents this coming Christmas!"

All the steps were explained and demonstrated clearly. Amanda was very friendly, welcoming and helpful.

Richard Pickard reviewed: Copper Foil Technique Stained Glass

"An absolutely amazing experience! Amanda is brilliant, kind, patient and attentive to the needs of her learners. As a teacher myself I understand the pressures, especially when working 1:1 with a new subject. Even after the course ended, Amanda continued to offer support with questions I had about buying equipment and she saved me from hours of searching online. I will be booking another course with Amanda in the future, without doubt."

holly richardson reviewed: Copper Foil Technique Stained Glass

"An excellent day. I learnt lots of new techniques and practiced new skills. First there was cutting glass, then cutting glass following a pattern, using a grinder, copper foiling and soldering. I came away with three beautiful pieces of copper foiled stained glass. A wonderful one to one session with lots of support and helpful suggestions and tips. Great for someone new to stained glass or for a refresher course."

Dragonfly Glass Art responded:

"Hi Holly, Thanks so much for the review!! Have fun with your glass making, and if you get stuck, just get in touch! Amanda x"

Lindsey Seymour reviewed: Copper Foil Technique Stained Glass

"I had a brilliant day, went through all the stages required to produce a finished article (I came home with three). Amanda was a very good teacher and had some good tips which I'll remember. There was a good balance between letting you do it yourself, but also providing assistance where required. As the session was on a one to one basis Amanda was able to give her full attention. Highly recommended. Thanks Amanda."
