Angela Cass reviewed: Stained glass for beginners one day workshop

"I have just been on this course and would recommend it to anyone who has the slightest bit of interest in stained glass. An excellent teacher, run in a friendly and encouraging environment, nothing is to much trouble for Sharon (the teacher). Every step expertly explained and genuinely delivered, help is given if needed but advise on how to do it yourself given first. If you are thinking of doing the class I would recommend it 100%. Thank you Sharon for a wonderful weekend with a lovely stained glass panel I created."

Manchester Stained Glass responded:

"Hi Angela, thank you so much for such a glowing review. So pleased you had a good time making the panel and during the weekend workshop. I hope you are enjoying your panel hanging up in your home. Sharon :)"

Fiona reviewed: Introduction to copper foiling workshop

"A really lovely course - warm, friendly and welcoming! Nice relaxed pace but packed with advice, useful info and guidance, Sharon is very supportive and knowledgable. I really liked the format of the day, starting with safety advice and a practice piece, before being able to be creative and make your own piece or use a myriad of design ideas. Very good value for money and a rewarding day, will definitely be visiting again! Thank you!"

Manchester Stained Glass responded:

"Thank you Fiona, a lovely review, I'm very glad you found the studio friendly and welcoming and yet with enough support and advice to be able to have a go at home. You would be very welcome back. Sharon :)"

Barry reviewed: Introduction to copper foiling workshop

"This is the second course I have taken with the same tutor. So I came to this with a working knowledge of stained glass. But still it was engaging and informative. It started with the basics and at by the end of the session we had completed a nice little sun catcher. It wasn’t prescriptive so we have the option to make something we designed ourselves. It was a great course with a great tutor."

Manchester Stained Glass responded:

"Thank you Barry for such a nice review. I am very glad that you did find it engaging and informative, on top of the stained glass skills you had already learnt. It was great to have you on the workshop Sharon :)"

Tina Su reviewed: Stained glass Monday evening course

"I started off as a complete novice with Sharon and developed a real love for the medium as she guided me through challenging projects and encouraged my inner creativity. Over six sessions in two years I have completed a lampshade, three large panels, a candle holder and a small Victorian grid style panel in both lead and copper foil. The classes are always relaxing and social but Sharon keeps a good tempo so everyone walks away with completed projects at the end of term. Whether you're looking to explore the magic of stained glass, learn a new skill or switch off for 3 hours from your daily grind every Monday or Wednesday the course is great value. Highly recommended and I look forward to my next session!"

Manchester Stained Glass responded:

"Hi Tina, Thank you so much for your lovely review. It has been joyful to watch your creations develop from initial design through to a beautiful art work. I look forward to seeing you on the next session you attend. Sharon :)"

Emma Greenhalgh reviewed: Stained glass Monday evening course

"I thoroughly enjoyed the evening course and saw a real development in my skills over the 9 weeks. Sharon is a knowledgeable, patient and fun teacher, who recognises the importance of safety as well as allowing her students some independence. We had the opportunity to make stained glass panels to our own designs using either lead or copper foil technique. I heartily recommend Sharon's courses for all budding (or just curious) stained glass artists."

Manchester Stained Glass responded:

"Hi Emma, Thank you for your lovely kind review. It was great to see your panel develop using the agate stone, it was beautiful! I am always happy to have experimental curious minds on the course. Sharon :)"

Marian Abdilla reviewed: Introduction to copper foiling workshop

"This is second course that I attended with Sharon, and it was also planned out in logical way. It was limited to 4 places (all of Sharon’s course are limited to 4 places) so that the students could progress at their own pace, giving them the confidence to complete their final piece. Sharon was always on hand to offer help, support and advice [as well as tea, coffee and biscuits). The structure of the course was well balanced, with a mixture of different age groups. Sharon promotes a friendly and relaxed environment and I would highly recommended this course and the stained glass course which I also attended."

Manchester Stained Glass responded:

"Hi Marian, it was lovely to have you back on another workshop. Thank you for leaving such good review. I am so glad you have enjoyed both workshops with me and wish you lots of fun creating with glass at home. Sharon :)"
