5/5 from Jade Rogers, attended Aug 2026: Ruth was lovely and super patient. She had a ton of designs to pick from and tons of different coloured glass. 10/10 would recommend. Such an amazing space.
5/5 from Jen Hughes, attended Jul 2026: The most lovely afternoon with Ruth who is incredibly talented and very patient! We all came away with a piece we are proud of. We will definitely be back! Thanks Ruth ️
5/5 from Rachael Thornton, attended Jul 2026: Class was so easy to follow and was so fun. Ruth was so lovely and so helpful. The beautiful garden in the background was really the icing on the cake! We will definitely be coming back soon :)
5/5 from Alex Lemon, attended Jun 2026: Incredible class! 100% do it. Ruth is absolutely amazing and such a good teacher. This is one of my favourite workshops I’ve ever done. Her work is so beautiful we bought a piece too. We did the introductory 3 hour class. We can’t wait to do more in the future!
5/5 from Emrys Crafton, attended May 2026: Ruth was a wonderful teacher. My mum and I had never tried stained glass before, and she was a very patient guide through the process! She had templates prepared for the projects we each wanted to make - a shark and a robin. Picking out the glass we wanted to use from her collection was lovely, and the studio was cosy. She was able to accomodate my mum's difficulty standing for long periods, and she was a pleasure to chat with throughout the making process.
5/5 from Lisa Takken-Forsythe, attended Apr 2026: We loved the class and are really pleased with the result!
5/5 from Melanie Bell, attended Feb 2026: I did a private workshop with Ruth and had a fantastic time making my first stained glass project! Ruth is an attentive teacher and the class was relaxing, almost meditative, in a workshop surrounded by tools and fine examples of the trade. (There were also chickens outside.) I got to pick a design and try choosing, cutting and polishing glass, foiling it, and soldering it together to make a piece. The class was so much fun and the result was beautiful! Highly recommended.
5/5 from Tessa Abdou, attended Jan 2026: I really enjoyed this class! Ruth was so patient and supportive throughout the process. If you are looking at this course then go for it, you won’t regret it… I’m already trying to think of my next project to take to her!
5/5 from Eleanor Gaunt, attended Sep 2025: amazing teacher and fun workshop! loved the environment as well :)
5/5 from Sophie Hunter, attended Sep 2025: I absolutely LOVED this class with Ruth. She has a lovely studio and was very welcoming, knowledgeable, patient and helpful. Mega chuffed with the pieces I made. It was a thoroughly enjoyable experience that I highly recommend to anyone who has any interest in stained glass. I'll be returning, for sure. Thank you, Ruth!
5/5 from Carol Ann Ryder, attended Aug 2025: Christmas present for the girls - From arriving at the venue to leaving, we were made very welcome and were very relaxed. Full and clear instructions, and help given through out all the stages of our stained glass journey. Walked away with a completed piece if stained glass. WE were all vey pleased as it was our first attempt. Would highly recommend this work shop.
5/5 from Elaine Sweetman, attended Aug 2025: Great 121 class today with Ruth. Made 2 lovely pieces and feel very proud! Ruth was patient and talked me through all the steps of the process letting me create my work. Highly recommend.
5/5 from Susan (Sue) Meyer, attended Jun 2025: Great experience. Fun workshop run by a really supportive teacher who was the perfect mix of hands off coaching but immediately available with support and advice when needed. An afternoon session, so not a lot of time to tackle anything too tricky, but I was really pleased with the results of my efforts. Foiling is a more forgiving way to work with stained glass and well worth trying.
5/5 from Robert Michael Sean Kay, attended Apr 2025: It was a really calm environment and the process from start to finish was so much fun. Definitely recommend, Ruth was lovely and it's great to learn with someone so passionate about the craft.
5/5 from Ana Armstrong, attended Mar 2025: Ruth is so lovely and explained all the different steps really well and patiently. I'm really impressed with the piece I was able to make in just 3hrs. Would highly recommend this workshop.
5/5 from May, attended May 2024: One of the best classes I have ever done! It’s so much fun and you will absolutely come away with an obsession for stained glass. Ruth is the best teacher, so knowledgeable, helpful and patient.
