"Thank you Matt for a fantastic day, you deliver something very unique and special. The class was fun, achievable and for myself very therapeutic. I really enjoyed the day and learnt some new skills along the way. Matt is a really nice guy and is a very patient teacher, who allows you to find your way but, is also there to help when required. A great day all in all, will definitely like to come again. "

"Booked this course for my husband and returned with him, I had been before to learn copper-foil. This time we both learnt proper lead stained glass work. It was more involved but strangely very wonderful to learn and do. Matt was an ace tutor, he presented him subject well and with humour. The workshop was lovely and the howling wind and rain were kept outside whilst we beavered away. Everyone had their own workstation and there was a lovely selection of glass available. I did feel like a certain creature out of Lord of the Rings with some of the lovelier pieces of glass to hand. We have already fitted my piece into a door that we have, and my husband is looking for an extra special place to put his on show. Thanks for a wonderful course and if anyone is thinking of going on this course, I would whole-heartedly recommend it."

"I bought this course as a Gift for my Mother's birthday and it ended up being a complete treat for me too! What a brilliant day. Matt is a great teacher and is so patient and thorough in every aspect of the workshop. Nothing was too much bother and he was able to give us so much time and explanation to our many requests. I can't recommend this course highly enough. It's also set in an amazing workshop in stunning country surroundings. Book yourself a treat......you will not regret it!"

"I would highly recommend this course- I’ve been twice. Matt is a great teacher- patient, knowledgeable but it’s also a great venue surrounded by Matt's work for inspiration. You have the opportunity to design your own project so you can be as creative as you like. "

"Matt was such a great teacher, I had so much fun on the course, it was well structured and I learnt so much throughout the day. We all left with finished pieces and Matt even stayed longer to make sure everything was finished. "

Anthony Yaskin reviewed: One day stained glass classes by Le Breton Traditional

"Fantastic course! Everything covered in a clear manner from safety to various ways of cutting glass, lead and copper foil assembly, painting glass and detail work. Great facility with Matt only a few steps away from any student so he could watch and help any student easily. Because of the workshop layout and the range of tools at every station, students could easily get on with their projects and everyone took a completed project of their own choice and making home! "

"We took this course having no experience or idea how to do anything with stained glass. But, Matt was really informative, friendly and helpful. By the end of the day we had two stained glass pieces we were actually pretty proud of! So thanks Matt!"

"Me and my wife had a great day on the course. Matt was a very good teacher, giving clear and thorough explanations of the techniques involved, and gave demonstrations at each new stage of the build process. It was a really nice relaxed atmosphere even though it's a really busy day. We'd love to go again. Thanks Matt"

"Thank you Matt for a wonderful day on your glass course. I had never done anything like this before but was absolutely delighted with the end result. It was a small group so you were able to spend plenty of time with all of us. You explained everything very well but you were on hand when something seemed to be going wrong or confidence dipped. I would certainly recommend this class. Thank you"

"What a fantastic full day of learning stain glass, Matt was very professional & highly knowledgeable in this craft. Lovely atmosphere & made very welcome too. Matt was always at hand to help & advise, also stepped in if needed. Definitely highly recommend to anyone that is a beginner & never done anything like this before, to someone like myself who has dabbled a little bit but wanted to gain more knowledge & skill. I’m so pleased with the final piece of traditional leaded stain glass I made! Thank you so much Matt ! Pleasure to meet you & for you to share your skill with us all. P.s. Thanks for the coffees & mince pies! Sue "
