  • 5/5 from Hannah Bayliss, attended Jan 2025: I had an absolutely fantastic time with Jamal, he’s full of information and an unbelievable artist that it’s an absolute pleasure to learn from. Worried about the duration? Don’t be! My six hour course flew by and I’ll definitely be booking more. Thanks Jamal!
  • 4/5 from Anonymised ClassBento customer, attended Oct 2024: A good class run by a lovely guy - Jamal. There were just 3 of us in the class which meant that we got plenty of help and attention when required. I think the cost of the class should include the small wooden stand were we offered for an additional £5 I found the booking process a little confusing as I was receiving emails from ClassBento and the teacher asking for the same information
  • 5/5 from Archie Wilson, attended May 2024: Jamal was very knowledgeable and helpful in explaining everything! We had a great time making our first stained glass piece. Would definitely recommend to anyone who is interested in trying the craft.
  • 5/5 from Faith Lucas, attended Mar 2024: The stained glass 1day workshop was a gift from my family. My sister joined me for the experience which made it extra special. Jamal was an excellent teacher. He gave a very interesting background to the history of stained glass, the tools used which are the same today as in medieval times and his personal training and experience. He is clearly very talented. The purpose built workshop had all the elements necessary for the class. Jamal provided all the tools and gave a thorough explanation of each tool and how to use them safely. He gave assistance where necessary and was very encouraging. We had a super day! It was well planned, we learned a lot, got to try something completely different and came away with a piece of work to remember it by. I would highly recommend this workshop. It was good value for money too. Thank you for a wonderful experience Jamal.
  • 5/5 from Kay Clayton, attended Jan 2024: Really enjoyable! Jamal was very knowledgeable about the craft and showed a lot of passion. Found it very interesting and enjoyed having a go at making a little piece i can keep forever. Would recommend!
