"I loved this course. It was really well paced, and I completed my make with no help, just supervision. At the start I didn't think I'd be able to make what I did and it was a lovely day."

"I had the most wonderful day last week at the stained glass garden panel class. It was very relaxed and taught to suit everyone’s needs. Rachel was great, so talented, easy going and at times funny. Can’t wait to do the next one "

Alison Lane reviewed: Stained glass garden panel workshop - Hampshire

"My husband, Michael, and I did this course together and are so thrilled with the panels we made which are now in our garden. Rachel is a lovely, welcoming, calm and extremely knowledgeable tutor. She is obviously very experienced and everything was prepared really well for her students so there was no time wasted and everybody completed their panel in good time. She made it all seem so easy. We were able to choose whatever colours of glass we liked and there was a good selection so everybody’s panel was different. She encouraged us to work independently but was right there if we ever got into difficulties. We both enjoyed our day very much and the location was great. We were able to sit outside in pleasant surroundings to have our lunch - the sun made a surprise and very welcome visit! Thank you Rachel."

"Had a lovely day with Rachel last week. Friendly warm welcome as I was ushered into her workshop full of everything glass that glitters. It was like walking into a sweet shop for craft lovers! Rachel was extremely informative & enthusiastic & the time flew. I chose the glass garden panel & am so pleased with the result. Variety of skills learned to complete the project & everyone’s panels were stunning. Now need the sun to see it at its best.
