Jo reviewed: Beginners Traditional Stained Glass 2 Day Course

"I completed a 2 day course with Gill last month. It was a very unique experience and I hugely benefitted from a one to one course. Gill is a delightful, calm & professional tutor, & easy to communicate with prior to my visit. We had a great couple of days and I learned new skills (as I’d completed small leaded panels & copper foil before). Gill was very generous with her time & very patient with me as I’m a bit slow! Gills’ studio is a very comfortable place to create & the fabulous cooked breakfast from the cafe was delicious and plentiful. Thank you Gill so much, this was a really positive & enjoyable experience in gorgeous surroundings with such a lovely atmosphere. I hope to attend again before too long!"

Gill Rogers responded:

"Many thanks Jo for your wonderful review and hope to see you again sometime in the near future!👍🥰 All my very best wishes to you and Tim, Gill xx"

Wendy Pitman reviewed: Beginners 1 Day Traditional Stained Glass Course

"Gill is an amazing teacher, very approachable, easy to get along with and incredibly talented. The day started with us choosing a stained-glass pattern and everything we did from that point was geared to us producing an amazing stained-glass piece of art. To do this required us to learn how to cut glass, straight lines, and curves, use a special machine to grind and smooth the glass and to build the pattern up on a pre-drawn template. The glass techniques are timeless and all the glass inter-locked into preformed lead channels. The final part of the process was using a 100w soldering iron to weld the lead strips together. Gill guided us all the way and the end result was an amazing piece of stained-glass artwork – artwork produced in similar ways to artwork in churches. Gill provided all the necessary PPE. Can’t thank Gill enough for an amazing day. The artwork is now proudly displayed in my living room. "

Gill Rogers responded:

"Wow, thank you so much Wendy for taking the time to write such a wonderful review! It was so lovely to meet you and I had such a fun day too. Hope you enjoy displaying your beautiful stained glass panel and well done you, it looked absolutely stunning! All my very best wishes and hope to see you again sometime in the near future, Gill x"

"Gill was a lovely stained glass teacher with lots of experience. With a small class of only 2 of us if we ever needed help she was right there, and I came away with a really beautiful stained glass piece to say I had never done it before.

Roger Watkins reviewed: Beginners 1 Day Traditional Stained Glass Course

"We had a wonderful time learning how to work with stained glass and we are extremely proud of what we managed to produce in just one day with Gill. Gill was an inspirational teacher, very encouraging and insightful - not just with the glass techniques but also in managing to lead us complete novices through the processes involved. Stained glass work is an ancient skill but so worthy of translation into the modern world. We are already planning some projects around our home. Thank you so much Gill."
