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

"I have been fortunate in being able to join Martin’s weekly course for the last two and a half years. He has taught me through introductory phase, mastering basic skills then on to more demanding work which have been really pleasing. He is great at helping through the tricky bits then recognising when you can cope and run with the piece. The day courses have been great at giving new experiences in glass work. Great all round. "

Martin McAssey Glass responded:

"Thank you for the lovely review."

"I have just completed my third 10 week course and have enjoyed every single session. Martin is an amazing tutor. In the first course he guided me through all the steps in a very clear and concise way - spending a good amount of time demonstrating and checking up on progress. In the following courses Martin is always on hand to provide guidance and reminders of the steps, as needed. The workshop is well stocked and a great environment for working in. Really enjoying the craft - would highly recommend."

Martin McAssey Glass responded:

"Thank you for the great review."

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

"I have completed Martin’s Tiffany and leaded glass course - I love it and hooked. Martin is an excellent and encouraging teacher. Initially you make two small sample pieces one in Tiffany then leaded, then you can start creating your own. I have also done a one day flower making course with Kate. She is also fantastic. Everyone created a gorgeous bouquet of forever glass flowers. I find working in this space very therapeutic and meditative. I’m also meeting some lovely people along the way. I would absolutely recommend this as an activity. "

Martin McAssey Glass responded:

"Thank you for the lovely review, I look forward to seeing you both again next term."

Judith, Ted and Josie reviewed: Introduction to traditional stained glass (1 day) in Sheffield, South Yorkshire

"My son, his girlfriend and I attended the traditional stained glass workshop together, and had a wonderful day. Kate, our tutor made learning a new craft hugely enjoyable, pacing the teaching well, providing loads of nuances and top-tips to ensure success and encouraging and instructing the small group with immense skill and good humour. We were all delighted with our completed panels and would love to learn more. Thank you for allowing us to use the most beautiful glass in our makes."

Martin McAssey Glass responded:

"Thank you for the review, we hope to see you all again."

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

"I have just finished the Monday night course and have signed up to go back after Easter! Martin is a great teacher and he has thought of everything! You make 3 items in total, following a template you make a stained glass panel using foil, then a second leaded panel before completing your own project under Martin’s expert guidance. Everyone has their own tools and dedicated work space. There are full colour options when choosing your glass for your first two projects, and an abundance of glass available on site if you need to purchase any for your own project. Everyone is so friendly and interested in each other’s work. It’s an amazing atmosphere at the sessions. Martin explains each stage very clearly and is very encouraging. Nothing is too much trouble. I would definitely recommend!!!"

Martin McAssey Glass responded:

"Thank you for the lovely review, I look forward to seeing you again next term."

Carole Longmire reviewed: Scrap glass mosaic workshop (1 day) in Sheffield, South Yorkshire

"The Glass Mosaic Workshop with Kate was fantastic. I've been on a few workshops now (all extremely good) and each workshop adds to the skills and knowledge I'm acquiring. This again was another informative, enjoyable and creative course which has taught me how to put to good use my scrap pieces of glass. Kate put everyone at ease with her clear instructions and nothing was too much trouble. It was lovely meeting other students. A really friendly group."

"A most enjoyable course brilliantly run. As someone who has done no glass or painting courses, Martin gave clear instructions, was very patient, explaining the processes and techniques several times. Martin offered great support throughout the day, in a well equipped workshop with everything to hand. Would highly recommend together with the cafe upstairs. Thank you."

"This is the second time I've attended a class at Martin's workshop. It's a wonderful welcoming environment. Which is extremely well equipped and offers a spacious work bench for each participant. All materials and equipment needed for your season are readily available and Martin is a very patient teacher. He has many samples on display which offer inspiration and encouragement as to what can be achieved in a day. There's a constant supply of hot drinks to keep you going throughout the day and a lovely cafe upstairs where you can order lunch to eat in or take away. "

"I've been to several of Martin and Kate's workshops and they have all been fantastic. I attended the Painting on Glass Workshop on Sunday 3rd March and once again had a brilliant time and learnt a new skill which I will be able to adapt to the stain glass pieces I make on the weekly workshop. Martin as usual was extremely patient, giving clear guidance and really boosts your confidence. I can't wait to collect the pieces I made."

"Absolutely loved the whole day and will definitely be back for more!!!! Martin is an excellent teacher and really understands the needs of his learners! My daughter and I did the traditional stained glass workshop and I wish we could do this every week. We both had a beautiful piece to take home at the end of a very full day and we are so proud of what we achieved. Martin explained everything very clearly and made sure everyone there got his personal attention. "

"Bought this as a joint birthday present and both really enjoyed it! Day was well paced to keep you ticking along a manageable speed but with enough time for re-dos and help from Martin if needed, which he was always on hand to do. Final result looks great and I'd be happy to try more in the future."

Andrea Duncan-Anderson reviewed: Introduction to traditional stained glass (1 day) in Sheffield, South Yorkshire

"I attended the stained glass workshop with Martin yesterday, and have to say it was superb. Martin is a very patient tutor, especially with those of us doing this for the first time. Instructions and guidance were kept simple and easy to follow. The group is small so Martin is able to provide one on one guidance on your item with tips on how to fix (if needed). I thought this was an excellent introduction to stained glass making, and I thoroughly enjoyed my day, even a little proud of what I was able to produce. "

"Thank you for the lovely review, glad you enjoyed your day."
