Maker's bio

I work as a teacher and artisan both in stained glass and traditional buiding techniques. After a Fine Art degree I first started stained glass myself in 2002 as an evening class and never looked back. I have a passion for traditional crafts and I enjoy being able to bring enthusiam and energy to teaching others. The glass courses I run at our purpose built applied arts workshop are designed to give students the chance to develop their own ideas and it is amazing what gets produced.

Ben & Jess reviewed: One day stained glass classes by Le Breton Traditional

"Matt was very welcoming and made everyone in the class feel at ease. He explained the various processes to making stained glass, after a brief intro he gave us the knowledge to start working on our projects. He was really generous with his time and expertise and very happy to answer questions. Would love to go again!"

Anjeli Marsh reviewed: One day stained glass classes by Le Breton Traditional

"I loved every moment. The experienced and friendly tuition was a joy. Matt had provided and extensive selection of beautiful glass that we could choose from and everything we needed was on hand. The group was small enough that everyone had assistance whenever it was needed. Don't dream about it anymore.. book it. "

"This is such a fantastic course. Matt is a generous and hugely knowledgeable teacher. The day was really well planned with plenty of information and support for beginners like me as well as opportunities for more experienced makers. Matt was inspiring and full of wonderful ideas and suggestions that led to a selection of beautiful pieces of glasswork from the whole class. The workshop is a great space, easy to find from the directions given and full of a great selection of tools and materials."

"An incredible experience. So well organised and enjoyable. Matthew LeBreton is clearly hugely experienced and was so generous in sharing his knowledge and expertise, nothing seemed too much trouble. He very kindly over-ran the course times to enable projects to be completed, without feeling at all rushed. All the tools provided to suit various techniques and a very wide selection of coloured glass to chose from all contributed to making a totally successful experience."
