Recent reviews of House Plant / Botanical Stained Glass Workshop

  • 5/5 from Rebecca Atkinson, attended Aug 2026: Our teacher Will was absolutely brilliant, kind, patient and methodical. You dont need to have had any experience as you are taught the basics and you are allowed to practice before you go on to make your item. Unfortunately the class I bought the voucher for originally had disappeared 2 weeks later, so I had to pay more money towards my voucher and my friends as it was a birthday gift.
  • 5/5 from Louise Douse, attended May 2026: The class was excellent! Will was a fantastic facilitator. Gave us everything we needed at the right times. Didn’t overwhelm. And the finished stained glass design was beautiful!
  • 5/5 from Louise Osborne, attended May 2026: Really good workshop learning all about stained glass and new skills to create something to bring home. Enjoyed everyone’s company and hats off to Will for running it so well.
  • 5/5 from Julia Calvo, attended May 2026: We really enjoyed this workshop. Will is a fantastic teacher and makes everything seem achievable. We left with some fantastic stained glass creations that are now decorating our window! Would definitely recommend and do the workshop again!
  • 5/5 from Cathy Dellar, attended May 2026: Had a superb day yesterday learning copper foil stained glass techniques. Our teacher Will was excellent, he explained and demonstrated clearly and he was patient and made it all fun. Not only did I have a great day out and learnt a new skill, I came away with a pretty decent piece which is now adorning my kitchen window. I think at first my husband thought I had bought it rather than made it!
  • 5/5 from Katie McDonald, attended Apr 2026: The class teacher was so knowledgeable and supportive. He ensured everyone made something they were proud of and helped with using the tools and offering advice and no question felt stupid. I would really recommend the class to anyone.
  • 5/5 from Veronica, attended Apr 2026: We had a great time at the glass workshop. Will is a great teacher, calm, patient and kind. There were plenty of designs to choose from, but we were able to design our own and Will was very helpful in understanding what would be possible. Ended up with beautiful pieces of work and had a really enjoyable day, would definitely recommend the experience.
  • 5/5 from Lucy Bugby, attended Jan 2026: We had a fantastic day! The class was really fun and interesting. Will gave nice clear instructions at a perfect pace and helped out with questions when we had them! We both love the final bits of art we made and can't wait to do more!
  • 5/5 from Alex Williams, attended Jan 2026: Great class, Will is a fantastic teacher!
  • 5/5 from Rachel Pengelly, attended Jan 2026: We had an excellent time at this workshop and produced some beautiful stained glass that we're really proud of. The instructions were all really clear and well paced and there was a really friendly and relaxed environment. We would definitely recommend the class to anyone who enjoys crafting!
  • 5/5 from Georgina Czyzewicz, attended Jan 2026: AMAZING CLASS! Will was very friendly, approachable and led the class with a great pace leaving more than enough time for you to get focused and complete the task. Highly recommend :)
  • 5/5 from Louise Boulton, attended Sep 2025: My son and I both enjoyed this class. The explanation/practice stage prepared us well without lasting too long, enabling us to focus on our projects. Mine was based (roughly) from a teacher supplied template whilst my son followed his own vision. The teacher supported everyone well without jumping in too soon. We had a great time and really want to do this again!
  • 5/5 from Helen Pennington, attended Jun 2025: Will structured & taught the class well. The suggested templates for stained glass work were great & achievable in the timeframe on the lesson. 10/10

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.
