Vember Brown reviewed: Traditional Leaded Stained Glass Panel

"An excellent and rewarding day. Katherine was a great teacher and the day was well managed with sufficient support for the trickier bits but enough time to get on and make progress on your own. A lot of new skills were learnt and I came away with a lovely panel. Highly recommended."

Sarah reviewed: Traditional Leaded Stained Glass Panel

"We had a wonderful day at Katherines lovely studio! Having never worked with stained glass before, myself & my daughter were admittedly apprehensive. Katherine did an amazing job putting us at ease & talked us through each stage, working with our bespoke designs from start to finish. She was so relaxed & patient, we couldn’t have asked for a better teacher. The lunch was delicious & the flapjack was divine. Katherine even catered for my daughters dietary requirements. Highly recommended!! "

Linda Atkins reviewed: Introduction to fused glass

"I booked a glass fusion session with Catherine for a start to a string of treats for my dearest friend's special birthday. It was to be our first exchange of fun for the next few days to follow. Catherine certainly helped me to create the start to special few days with making us feel very welcome to her studio. Catherine is extremely knowledgeable about glass materials - what is best to work with, colours when fired and working safely. We all throughly enjoyed our new experience and will certainly like to attempt to be creative again - very soon. Thank you, Catherine, for your patience and support with creating our designs. "

"Linda, it is so kind of you to take the time to leave a review, thank you. I loved being part of your group's birthday celebrations and am so pleased you are all delighted with your finished pieces. "

James Cadman reviewed: Traditional Glass Panel

"I had an amazing time today at Katherine’s workshop making a beautiful stained glass panel. Katherine really went the extra mile; she had prepared a custom design for me to follow after chatting via email and had even found out some antique glass I could incorporate. Everything was easy to follow and all tools and materials were provided. Lunch and refreshments were delicious and very relaxed. At the end of the day I came away with a lovely panel that I’m very pleased with. I may book again just for a nice day out! Thanks very much, Katherine 😊 "

"That has made me grin from ear to ear James, thank you so much for your kind words. "

Micael reviewed: Traditional Glass Panel

"My wife and I recently attended one of Katherine's stained glass workshops. Katherine started us off nice and slow by introducing the basics of glass cutting, letting us get comfortable before we had a go on our own patterns. We had certainly set a challenge for ourselves with wanting to create some rabbits (lots of curves), but we had fun attempting it. The timing was looking tight at points, but with perseverance (and help from Katherine) we both succeeded and made some amazing looking stained glass panels. Thank you for the experience, and we have a new appreciation for the art!"

number8glass responded:

"Your work was indeed amazing, I’m so impressed with the panels you created and I hope the rabbits approve! "

Kate reviewed: Introduction to fused glass

"Me and my bestie did the intro to glass fusing at the weekend, neither of us had done it before but Katherine was really helpful, explained everything and gave us some ideas to get going. In no time we had a design going and were on a roll, we totally zoned out and lost ourselves in the creativity. We had a great time, felt really at ease and excited to see our finished designs. I’ve booked to take my mum and niece and my best friend is looking to take her sister and her daughters. Great afternoon and great value for money. Thanks Katherine :-) "

number8glass responded:

"Thank you so much for the lovely review Kate and I really look forward to welcoming you back into the studio soon. "

Coral Fairbrother reviewed: Fused Glass Discovery

"I attended Katherine’s course with a friend. We both enjoyed our afternoon and loved the way that Katherine guided us through learning about the tools we were going to use and the various ways of cutting shapes etc. We both came away after making two lovely items of fused glass and have since booked on another course making Christmas decorations. Can fully recommend the course ."

number8glass responded:

"So kind of you to do a review Coral and thank you for the lovely feedback. "

Derek Brown reviewed: Glass fusing discovery day

"The one day glass fusion course with Katherine was a great experience. Katherine's beautiful studio was the perfect setting for the course. I was made to feel most welcome when I first arrived with a cup of tea and homemade biscuits. In the studio we were given aprons and safety glasses and Katherine explained the safe ways to handle glass. We were then taught to cut glass in straight and curved lines. After practicing basic cutting techniques I constructed a coaster. Following more instruction I made a bowl and a piece of jewelry. I felt very comfortable with Katherine's friendly style of teaching and giving assistance when asked. An excellent lunch and refreshments were provided on the day. I picked up my finished pieces about 2 weeks later and I am very happy with them."

number8glass responded:

"Thank you so much for your review Derek, it means a great deal to me and I'm so pleased you enjoyed your day."
