  1. Nicky

    We had a great workshop. We were real beginners and yet we left with beautiful, credible sun catchers. It’s a great day in a lovely studio.

    I attended a workshop on April 23rd & had a fabulous day. Jen is such a great hands on teacher & walked us through every step of creating our amazing makes. I went into this workshop not knowing what to expect & having zero experience with glass work, but left having learnt new skills & a beautiful crystal suncatcher that I love. The studio is great & all of the equipment is provided for you.
    If you have an interest in glass work or looking to try something new I highly recommend booking in with Jen, you honestly won’t regret it.

    What a brilliant day we had. Choose to have Jen’s workshop instead of a leaving do and so glad I did. We had such fun. Learnt new skills, made a beautiful stained glass star and spent time with friends. Jen was a great teacher and a good laugh. Highly recommend the workshop as an alternative birthday party or celebration.

    What a great day I had on the stained glass course!
    Jen is a great teacher and helped me create a great first piece- a sun catcher which I have proudly displayed in my window.
    Would recommend this course as it’s given me confidence to try my hand at stained glass at home, and it’s great fun.
