• 5/5 from Ignacio Pelusso, attended Jul 2026: Had a great Sunday doing the 5 hour beginner workshop. Glenn is a great teacher, he's fun and engaging and happy to share all his knowledge and experience. We each made our own small leadlight window, and even with no previous experience there was enough time and support to be able to finish the project and take it home. If you're thinking of doing this I would absolutely recommend Chichi botanicals, you get a lot of value for money and even if you're not planning on taking on leadlighting as a hobby you still end up with a beautiful piece of decor made by you

A lush, green-filled space with plenty of room to spread out and work. We had ample time to complete our projects without ever feeling rushed. Glen’s instructions and demos were clear and easy to follow, and he was always happy to jump in and help whenever we needed it. Glen has a huge selection of glass available to choose from in the most beautiful colours and patterns. All around, it was a creative, fun, and relaxing way to spend the day. Highly recommend

• 5/5 from Esther Scheurmann, attended Jul 2026: What a great way to spend a Saturday: learning a new skill in a fabulous studio. Glen, our instructor, was very knowledgeable and passionate about lead lighting and took the small class of 5 through creating a design to take home. Lots of textured and coloured glass to choose from. Everything was well explained and demonstrated with some humour too. I can’t of anything to improve the course and I plan to come back for a bigger design for home. I thoroughly recommend this class for beginners

• 5/5 from Jean Todd, attended May 2026: I bought tickets to the workshop for my husband’s birthday. It was a wonderful day. Glen was an absolutely fabulous instructor. He explained everything thoroughly and was very patient and amusing too. The workshop was well-paced and held in a lovely environment. We were very pleased with the pieces we made and couldn’t be happier with how the day turned out. Totally recommend to anyone interested in giving leadlighting a try. I’d be keen to do more classes at Chichi Botanicals.
