Cathy was an excellent teacher - very approachable and we had some good banter. Her instructions were clear and she was helpful when we had questions. It was so useful to see the examples that she brought with her and we were able to have a choice of things we did. We really loved the whole experience + more

We both had an amazing time this morning. Fab insights about the world of stained glass, I can safely say we'll be booking in another class with Angelina. Great teacher, able to share her experience mentored with myself and Jane. 10/10 huge thankss

Wonderful class, so much so that this was my second time! Fantastic teacher Cathy who explained everything so well and was helpful throughout to everyone with ideas and practical help. I cannot wait to see the end result. I would recommend Cathy and her classes to anyone who wants to give this go.

The class was a birthday present, and everything about it was great! Cathy, the teacher, was excellent and the venue was just right. It's the first time I've done a class and I look forward to doing more in the future. Cathy gave such good guidance and was easy to talk to. I think the class was + more

Ellen Preece

This class was just great. I learned a myriad of new sculpting skills which will be invaluable in my future efforts. Debbie is a delightful tutor and I felt like I had known her for ages. She is very patient, encouraging and lets you get on with it but knows when to jump in. We had a great day with + more

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 + more

Barbara

This was such an enjoyable class. Cathy was a relaxed and informative teacher, providing clear instructions, a wide range of materials and equipment. It was great to work in a small class and be able to share ideas with others while producing an individual piece of glasswork. Cathy was very supportive + more

Great workshop and highly recommend! Fantastic for beginners and a great teacher! Suitable for all ages.

Nico Campbell

This was a great class - you don’t need to be ‘good at’ drawing or art, it’s very free and creative and Cathy was an amazingly supportive teacher. I’ll be back for more, and I can’t wait to see how my hanger turns out once it’s fired!

Miranda Virgo

Deborah Hughes

Angelina was great and taught us in stages which was brilliant. The venue was perfect with all the equipment conveniently to hand. I learnt so much and feel I have the confidence now to try stain glass for myself. I left with a piece of stain glass that looks really good due to the teaching and I + more

This full day of gilding was such fun! With an approachable and knowledgeable teacher you are supported throughout and take your gilded creations home. Superb value for money I would highly recommend. Oh and the lunch was excellent as well.

An excellent Stained Glass Workshop, as usual with Glass by Design. Plenty of space for your designing, cutting and painting, all materials are provided and you have a great selection of fabulous stained glass to choose from. Angelina shared lots of tips and knowledge of different traditional painting + more

This 2 day course was a birthday present from a close relative. What a great gift. I thoroughly enjoyed my two days. Angelina had all the pre-course arrangements nailed down very efficiently.

Beverley Kuksa-Roberts

Definitely recommended! I took my 11 year old daughter with her friend to the family fused glass class, and we all had a fab time! The teacher (Cathy) was very patient and helped us out as much as we needed. There was plenty of supplies to make any design that we wanted. I would definitely do another + more

Jess

Absolutely brilliant workshop. Guided through stained glass from start to finish with the fantastic Angelina. I never felt rushed and picked up lots of tips. Workshops being limited to 4 people (only 3 at mine) is great as you receive lots of individual guidance. I couldn’t recommend it enough for + more

Family fused glass class Fantastic class, high recommended. Lovely teacher who explained everything thoroughly. Everything provided. Can’t wait to receive our finished fused glass. Thank you!

This is a very good and enjoyable class, with good instruction. Self expression was really encouraged but Cathy was always ready to give tips when desired.

Alice Varnava

I loved every minute! I went to this felting class (making a hare) because I’d been to the framed-picture felting class last year and really enjoyed it. I’d never done felting before but our teacher was great - showing us individually what to do and fun chit-chat in between, making the whole 3 hours + more

Tristan Mark Goodway-Sims

Great day experience, very friendly teacher, and relaxing workshop atmosphere, plant of time to ask questions

Lesley Edge

This is now the 4th Glass By Design workshop I have attended and as usual, they are wonderfully well organised classes. Both Angelina and Cathy are fantastic hosts. I would describe myself as someone who is more enthusiastic than creative but with Cathy's patient support I think I might have created + more

Very enjoyable class. Instructor was welcoming and helpful. Happy with my project, already planning my next class.

I attended the Bubble Glass Workshop with no experience, little expectation of personal skill, but full of hope. The tuition and guidance with encouraging comments proved to be excellent. It was a thoroughly enjoyable and informative course. I am looking forward to the next one, already booked. Thank + more

The whole experience was superb; teacher, venue, the results of the practice. And excellent value for money. If the teacher ever does a follow up course, I would do it.
