Recent reviews of House Plant / Botanical Stained Glass Workshop, Bedford

  • 5/5 from Suzie Smith, attended Aug 2026: Super teacher - great at breaking down the stages and allowing us to slowly build our skills. A really lovely day.
  • 5/5 from Gill Bolton, attended Aug 2026: Our class teacher, Will, was excellent. Friendly and very approachable, he explained and demonstrated, in small chunks. Health and safety details were emphasised throughout. We had a good choice of what we could create and what colours of glass. We were very pleased with the end result, after a very enjoyable day. The village hall was easy to find, had suitable facilities, with plenty of parking.
  • 5/5 from Helen Savage, attended Aug 2026: Will was a great teacher, guiding us through glass cutting, assembly and soldering. The whole day session gave plenty of time to practice and make a bigger piece to take home. There were lots of designs available (not just plants :))
  • 5/5 from Diana Hasan, attended Aug 2026: Teacher was excellent, he gave very clear instructions and was very helpful. Lovely relaxed atmosphere and I enjoyed every part of the course, also great fun to see your finished piece of stained glass.
  • 5/5 from Louise Horner, attended Jun 2026: A very enjoyable way to spend a day and try a new craft. Each stage of the process was explained clearly by the tutor. Lots of templates to use to create your own coloured glass panel.
  • 5/5 from Andy Snape, attended Mar 2026: Fantastic workshop, I’d highly recommend it to anyone curious about stained glass. Will is an excellent teacher, really hands-on and supportive throughout. The session strikes a great balance between guidance and freedom, with plenty of interactive coaching so you build confidence as you go. There’s loads of choice in designs and a lot of flexibility to make something that feels personal. The materials and equipment are high quality, and it’s impressive that everyone leaves with a finished piece by the end of the session. A brilliant introduction to copper foil stained glass, and a genuinely enjoyable experience from start to finish.

Hello, Craft Enthusiasts!
I'm Will, a qualified teacher and now full-time stained glass artist based in Bedfordshire. After many years in the classroom, I made the leap into stained glass artistry and haven’t looked back! I combine my love of teaching with my passion for this beautiful and traditional craft.
Why Stained Glass?
What began as a hobby quickly turned into a calling. As someone who started out as a complete beginner, I know just how daunting (and exciting!) it can be to try something new. That’s why my workshops are welcoming, relaxed, and packed with encouragement and support. Stained glass is a beautiful art form, and it’s a way to capture light, emotion, and colour all at once.
What to Expect in My Classes:
With my background as a qualified teacher and practicing artist, I’ve designed my courses to be practical and informative. If you're totally new to stained glass or building on previous experience, you’ll be supported every step of the way. No pressure, just plenty of creativity and a satisfying sense of achievement.
Join the Creative Adventure:
Come and discover the joy of stained glass for yourself. You’ll leave with a beautiful handmade stained glass panel and maybe even a new favourite hobby.
