• 5/5 from Jessica Demmer-Knight, attended Jul 2026: I loved attending the two day leadlight workshop! I was not a natural at it, but Rhain and Ettore were incredibly patient with me. There were about 10 people in the class which was the perfect amount, there were so many levels of experience and different skill sets so no one felt left out. I would love to do another weekend course and build on all of the skills I picked up on. Thanks so much!

• 5/5 from Mariagrazia Bellio, attended Jan 2026: My friend Meredith and myself spent an amazing weekend learning the basic of Stained Glass. Rain Ettore and Janet shared very generously their knowledge and expertise about this ancient art. The workshop was organised exceptionally well as we had to choose between three made templates that were all achievable for an entry level. All our three teachers guided us through all the steps in such a kind and gentle way. There was no pressure to be quick… there was plenty of time to learn, and the positive attitude of Ettore, Rain and Janet allowed for a fun and enjoyable way of learning. I was so surprised by being able to come home with such a beautiful piece that I love very much. I am hooked I want to continue to learn this amazing art…. And I will be back for sure. Thank you again Rain Ettore and Janet to have helped inspired us and have shared your knowledge and passion so generously, with such genuine way of being beautiful teachers. ️

• 5/5 from Kerry Anne Cameron, attended Dec 2025: Great venue, and great teachers both days. I found that I chose my pattern poorly.

Would like to do another couse mayb a weekly one over longer time
• 5/5 from Michele Shay, attended Oct 2025: I am a serial crafter who loves to try new creative processes. This workshop did not fail to deliver an interesting taster of working in lead lighting. The instructors Rhaine, Etorre and Janet were knowledgeable and patient. I especially liked that I had some creative input in creating my little window in both colour choices and tweaking of the design. If you want to have a go at leadlighting I would highly recommend this workshop.

Even though I had done a small amount of lead lighting, there were some great tips that I surely needed to continue to grow and enjoy the process of making more items. The classes are fun, informative for both beginners and advanced along with the ability to buy the equipment needed to succeed. I highly recommend these classes with this team of wonderful people.

• 5/5 from Falon Ryan, attended Apr 2025: Great class! 10/10 and Kyneton is a lively place to stay for the weekend. Came home, looked at the Leadlight windows in the house and understood a little about how they were made. Very cool to appreciate the art. Learning from a Master who created the Lion of Judah as a 6"×4" leadlight windows was very very awesome.
• 5/5 from Chris Hudson, attended Apr 2025: The course was well paced and supported by knowledgeable and helpful teachers. The hands on approach allowed you to learn in your own way and pace. Overall a great course would recommend it to anyone interested in learning about lead lighting and stained glass.
• 5/5 from Leeanne Margaret Carleton, attended Mar 2025: The teaching was thorough and attentive. The teacher's made sure they got around the room to support everyone, and reassured that we would all finish our work (a stained glass panel) in the the allocated time. Although I had some glass cutting skills, I learnt some new tricks with cutting, and new skills with leadlighting. I really liked the studio space, which was in a wonderful old building, all our materials were setvout each day in readiness firvour class, and we were stepped through the stages of the project in a clear and logical manner. The lunch provided was nutritious and tasty, and Kyneton is a beautiful location to visit for a new artistic adventure.
• 5/5 from Glendon Phillips, attended Mar 2025: Very enjoyable class learning the basics of leadlight. Instruction was well-paced, relevant and informative. Teaching staff ever-ready to help answer questions and explain without “taking over”. Designs were sufficiently challenging to give a real feeling of accomplishment, without being impossibly complex. Highly recommended!

• 5/5 from Ellen Paterson, attended Jun 2024: Received this class as a Christmas present from my husband. Have been looking forward to it all year. I had a great time. Learnt all of the basics of stained glass. Very self paced which I enjoyed. Small class size with lots of one on one time with the master, Rhain. She was incredibly knowledgeable. Helped to fix all the little things that didn't quite go as planned. Walked away with a beautiful lead light panel. If anyone is considering it, I would highly recommend.
• 5/5 from Rosemary Hinton, attended May 2024: Fantastic experience. Thoroughly enjoyed it and achieved something beautiful! A lot harder than I thought, but patient, positive and knowledgeable teachers in Rae day one and Ettore and Janet day 2. Great sense of humour and very happy for each to learn as doing. All materials provided and explainedfound a lack of available glass colours to use, would have liked more, but still enough choice just dont have set ideas in mind! Location is fantastic and plenty of free parking around outside or in neighbouring streets. Coffee shop directly opposite for before class and lunch nice lunch provided on day one from there. Interesting shop in foreground of building. Would love more availability for regular leadlight classes but understandably hugely popular and waiting list! Great way to spend a weekend. Fantastic experience. Would highly recommend if you like leadlight! and want an outlet and sense of satifaction at completion! Thank you.
• 5/5 from Cindy Zhou, attended May 2024: Teachers were friendly, clear and encouraging. Hands on learning meant that we got started right away and the tools were easy to use. There was enough challenge to keep me engaged but also it was very achievable. I was really pleased and proud of the final product and have recommended the course to multiple friends and family members. Thanks for a great weekend!
• 5/5 from Marietta Taylor, attended May 2024: So well organised and amazing instructors. I would recommend this class to everyone. It was great.
