Sara Jane reviewed: Introduction to traditional stained glass (1 day) in Sheffield, South Yorkshire

"Sunday’s Traditional Stained Glass Workshop was incredible - Martin’s teaching is obviously honed by years of experience and was presented in bite-size pieces which meant the day wasn’t overwhelming and you really felt as if you could (and would!) create something to be proud of. As the day progressed, Martin made sure to go round the class ‘checking in’ and was always available to answer any questions, show you how to do something you didn’t understand, and offer guidance and advice (all with infinite patience!) There was a selection of patterns to choose from - not so many to be overwhelming but a selection that meant there was something for everyone’s taste. Choosing the glass, however, was a different matter - so many colours and textures! The day was fabulous value for money (let’s face it, that’s an important factor) - everything you would need is part of the cost (not to mention the constant supply of coffee!), the location is incredible, the workspace is the space of dreams … oh, and the teaching is second to none! Whether you have experience with glass, or are just dipping your toe in the water, I can highly recommend these workshops - don’t be afraid, give it a go and I promise you will be hooked!"

Martin McAssey Glass responded:

"Thank you for the fantastic review, I look forward to seeing you for a weekly class in September."

Marilyn reviewed: Stained glass weekly classes in Sheffield (South Yorkshire)

"I have made several pieces over the two years I've been taking classes with Kate. After an extremely cautious and hesitant start, well out of my comfort zone, I'm addicted! I can see my skills are slowly improving, but there's lots and lots of room for more. Now, what shall I make next term???????"

Martin McAssey Glass responded:

"Thank you for the lovely review."

Pete reviewed: Stained glass weekly classes in Sheffield (South Yorkshire)

"I’ve returned to working with Martin on one of his stained glass courses and it’s as good as ever, if not better. The facilities are fantastic and his instruction is second to. none. I’ve enjoyed it so much I’ve booked on next term’s course. My wife has also booked on a one day course to make stained glass flowers. I’d recommended his courses to everybody but don’t all apply as I’ll find it difficult to book on myself"

Martin McAssey Glass responded:

"Thank you for the great review, see you in September."

Lizzie reviewed: Stained glass weekly classes in Sheffield (South Yorkshire)

"I recently completed the 10 week stained glass making course with Martin and it was fantastic. Martin was really clear with the instructions, making is so easy to follow and leave with some wonderful stained glass pieces. He was very supportive throughout making sure everyone was happy with their work and provided the assistance they needed. Martin has stock of glass, solder, lead and more if you wanted to buy materials off him and he has some great recommendations on where to get them from externally. He gives you the creative freedom at end of the course to design your own stained glass and gives practical advice on how to make it happen. I really enjoyed my time on the course and I highly recommend it! I hope to book on again over the winter :) "

Martin McAssey Glass responded:

"Thank you for the lovely review, I hope to see you again for another course or one day workshop."

Mark Savage reviewed: Tiffany stained glass wild flowers workshop

"This is the second time that we have done this course. Kate is a great teacher; from teaching the basics of glass cutting and grinding, to applying the foil and soldering. She is very encouraging and reassuring when things don't go to plan. At the same time we could do things at our own pace and make our own creations. I have recommended this day to lots of people. The cafe round the corner is a great place to have a quick lunch. It’s a busy day! "

Martin McAssey Glass responded:

"Thank you for the nice review, we hope you come back for another workshop soon."

No limit to the amount of glass and materials I used with a lovely choice of beautiful glass. Was lovely to see what the other people had made at the end of the day. Many thanks for a lovely day."

Maggie Parr reviewed: Tiffany stained glass wild flowers workshop

"A very enjoyable day ! Kate is an excellent tutor who explained everything very clearly and deftly managed the varying experience of each of the group members. She kept us to time and ensured everyone finished what they wanted to make. I already have the necessary equipment at home so now plan to make some more as presents. I have now realised that some of the simpler designs - one piece - are easier and often more effective and elegant. So, I am very pleased with my flowers and a photo sent to friends has received many compliments . Thank you Kate and Martin😀"

Martin McAssey Glass responded:

"Thank you for the lovely review, we hope to see you again in the future."
