  • 5/5 from Ayden Toh, attended Sep 2026: Sandra was amazing, a very lovely person and a great teacher. The day was fun and well worth it
  • 4/5 from Peter Tregloan, attended Sep 2026: I have a panel that I will enjoy looking at each day! Thank you. The class was relaxed and friendly - size was just right. Hayley was energetic and guided us along so that we were comfortable and moving along. I now know what I might try to do better (if there is ever a next time)- this was a first attempt.
  • 5/5 from Rose Rye, attended Aug 2026: My friend Ruby and I had the best time at the Leadlight Panel workshop. Lesley was such an enthusiastic and encouraging teacher, creating a space where we felt completely safe to experiment and make mistakes -which you inevitably will when trying something new! The class was well structured, clearly explained and easy to follow, while still giving us plenty of freedom to express ourselves by choosing our own glass, colours, text and textures. By the end, everyone had created a beautiful leadlight panel, and every single piece looked outstanding! I absolutely loved the experience, and it has definitely given me the bug to make more!
  • 5/5 from Amanda Langley, attended Jul 2026: Sandra was so knowledgeable and helpful with how I could complete my project. I learnt so much. Plenty of tools, glass and lead in a spacious room built for purpose. Progression of steps lead to excellent results. I'm addicted already!
  • 5/5 from Elissa Booth, attended Jul 2026: Sandra was an excellent instructor, and the class was amazing. She took us through every step of the process and made it easy. And we all created lead light panels that looked better than I imagined.
  • 5/5 from Madeleine Male, attended Jul 2026: Great class and teacher!
  • 5/5 from Kate, attended Jul 2026: Lesley was such a great teacher and we had an excellent time in her workshop. She kept all of us newbies on track with excellent technical advice and help, and we all walked away with our own panels. She warned us in advance that making with glass is addictive - and I suspect her workshops are contributing... Highly recommend!
  • 5/5 from Mia Mats, attended Jul 2026: Fantastic class Sandra the teacher is very knowledgeable and passionate about glass. I enjoyed the class and l have booked more classes to learn more. Thank you for the great experience.

  • 5/5 from Edwige Kozinski, attended Apr 2026: I just did a one-day stained glass workshop with Sandra, and it was awesome! She explained everything really clearly and made sure everyone got the help they needed. The workspace was safe and comfortable, and it was so satisfying to finish my own stained glass piece by the end of the day. Sandra’s patience and enthusiasm made the whole experience fun and rewarding. If you’re thinking about trying stained glass, this workshop is a must—you’ll love it!
  • 5/5 from Arysha Khan, attended Apr 2026: We had the most incredible time at this leadlight workshop! From the moment we walked in, the atmosphere was warm, welcoming, and full of creativity. It was such a unique experience to step away from the usual routine and try something completely hands-on and artistic together. The instructor was absolutely fantastic—patient, knowledgeable, and genuinely passionate about the craft. They guided us through each step with just the right balance of support and encouragement, making the process feel both achievable and rewarding (even for complete beginners like us!). Working side by side with my partner made it even more special. There was something really meaningful about creating something from scratch together—choosing our designs, learning new skills, and seeing our pieces come to life. It felt like a perfect mix of fun, relaxation, and connection. We left not only with beautiful leadlight pieces we’re so proud of, but also with such a memorable shared experience. Highly recommend this workshop to anyone looking for a creative date idea or just wanting to try something new—you won’t regret it!
