Laura reviewed: Stained Glass Leaded Panel in New Romney, Kent

"This course was amazing from start to finish! The small group allowed for lots of one-on-one support, and the two tutors were both knowledgeable and very encouraging. As someone who’d never touched glass cutting tools, I was amazed at what I was able to accomplish in just one day. The quality of teaching and value for money were top-notch, and I left with a beautiful leaded panel I’m incredibly proud of!"

Linda reviewed: Stained Glass Leaded Panel in New Romney, Kent

"What an incredible experience! I came in without any glass-cutting experience, and by the end of the day, I had created a gorgeous leaded panel. The tutors were fantastic—patient, skilled, and able to give each of us personal attention due to the small group size. It was excellent value for money, and I learned so much about the traditional methods. Exceeded all my expectations!"

Catharine reviewed: Stained Glass Leaded Panel in New Romney, Kent

"This leaded panel course was truly exceptional! With a small group and two attentive tutors, we received all the support we needed. I had never cut glass before, but they made the process feel manageable and fun. The day was excellent value for money, and I’m thrilled to have left with a beautiful panel made by my own hands. Highly recommended for anyone interested in traditional methods!"
