Finn Conway reviewed: 2 Day Introduction to Letter Cutting in Stone

"A fantastically enjoyable weekend with an excellent (and very patient) instructor in Tom Ball! Highly recommended for anyone even vaguely interested in letter-cutting—no matter how funky and obscure the alphabet."

Sarah Tyler reviewed: 2-day Stained Glass Course (Leaded Method)

"Something I've always wanted to have a go at. The tutor was great, friendly, patient, attentive and very knowledgeable about the subject. Made it look easy! All the tools & materials needed for the 2 day course were supplied. The open barn was a lovely environment to learn a new skill, with plenty of light and ventilation. I did find some of the steps tricky to master, but got there in the end. I was allowed to create my own design & really pleased with my glass panel. Still need lots more practice!"
