  • 5/5 from Alex Wedlake, attended Mar 2026: We had wanted to undertake a stained glass window class for a long time. This class was excellent and perfectly paced.

I had a great time during the class; and the time just flew! I learned a new skill and came away with something really lovely that i'm pretty proud of.

  • 5/5 from Margaret Rogers, attended Sep 2024: I bought a half day stained glass workshop class for my daughter in law for her birthday and of course I had to go with her! What a great experience. Angelina was so welcoming and helped us through every part of the process. Just the 2 of us, a great environment to work in and we were both thrilled with the end result! Such good value and I now have a yearning to do another class and learn more new techniques.

  • 5/5 from Louise Dunstan, attended May 2024: A fantastic experience! Only 4 people, lovely pace and plenty of patience from Angelina. Great value for money and you get to take home your creation straight away!
  • 5/5 from Adrian Edwards, attended Jan 2024: The Stained Glass half day course was a birthday present from my wife who had already been to a Fused Glass course. Being an OAP I tend to think that all craft courses are expensive, particularly those where there are lots of people and all you get is a lecture. Here it was "hands on" and there were only 3 of us so we each had a lot of attention. We were shown each stage and advised what could go wrong if not done the correct way and helped if we did get it wrong - as I did once or twice! The teacher was great very friendly and encouraging. I got a lot of pleasure from it and in retrospect worth the cost.
  • 5/5 from Ieuan Weare, attended Aug 2023: The teacher Angelina was very helpful and knowledgeable throughout the session. All my questions that I had on the topic were met with incredibly helpful answers that helped expand my knowledge on stained glass. Because of how much I enjoyed this session, I would definitely want to come around the shop again for a separate course as they all seem to be just as interesting.
  • 5/5 from Mike Mallen, attended May 2023: This class was bought for me as one of my 60th birthday presents. The class was absolutely fantastic, all the materials are provided, the tutor explained and demonstrated the technics carefully and clearly in a nice friendly atmosphere. Highly recommended, I'm going to book myself on another course later in the year. Best wishes to everyone at Glass by Design, Mike m
  • 5/5 from Katie Thomas, attended Apr 2023: This was a birthday gift off my partner and the class was really fun and educational of the process of stain glass. The artist running it was lovely, friendly and was showing us every process as we moved from each step. The wide range of glasses to choose from was the difficult part! The class was small and was a nice way of meeting new people and chat about ourselves and the project itself. Highly recommend it and I want to see what other courses they do!
  • 5/5 from Hollie Leslie, attended Apr 2023: Had a fantastic time on my half day course and will definitely be booking a full day to learn even more soon! The tutor Angelina was incredible, going through every step clearly and set the pace really well. Was a bit worried about going alone but everyone in the class was kind and welcoming. Definitely recommend!
  • 5/5 from Natalie Ellis, attended Apr 2023: Fantastic session! The teacher was supportive and very encouraging. Perfect length. We never felt rushed and we finished on time. Not getting to cut the glass ourselves was no issue and did not take away from the experience at all, as we still got to choose from lots of colours and textures of glass. Really enjoyed and would highly recommend!
  • 5/5 from Charlie Proctor, attended Mar 2023: What a great morning of learning stained glass. Angelina was such a good teacher, so experienced and knowledgeable with the right balance of helping and letting us get on with it! I am so pleased with my stained glass tealight piece and am already wanting to do more!
  • 5/5 from Catrin Huws, attended Mar 2023: Very enjoyable morning workshop on stained glass under guidance of Angelina who was incredibly skilled but explained clearly and patiently and was good fun. Produced a very pretty tea light. Highly recommend
  • 5/5 from Samantha Smart, attended Nov 2022: Great introduction to stained glass. The workshop was organised and instructions easy to follow. The welcome and teaching was friendly and supportive. There was plenty of choice in the glass types/colours to use. I enjoyed learning something completely new.

Angelina and Cathy met by chance whilst selling their work in Penarth, Christmas 2013. Their shared love of all things glass saw them develop a friendship and continue to work together.
Their first idea was to develop an Open Studio trail for any local artist/crafter during the annual Penarth festival that following summer. It has fast become an established part of the festival and is developing year on year.
They then joined a designer-maker section in a local Penarth shop where their customer base was steadily growing. Customers embraced the idea of bespoke, locally made pieces, rather than mass-produced imported ones that have saturated the marketplace.
Their next logical step was to be able to work on-site and pass their love of the process of hand-making in glass to others. Hence, Glass By Design was born.
