Recent reviews of Traditional Stained Glass Painting Class

  • 5/5 from Bella McKelvey, attended Oct 2026: The class was amazing, susi is a wonderful teacher.
  • 5/5 from Maddy McKinley, attended Sep 2026: Had such a fun time at the Traditional Stained Glass Painting class! Susi is a great teacher - she shows and guides you through the process while also allowing you to make the work yourself and try different things. She has so much knowledge and is excited to share it! I felt very comfortable in the class and the workshop space is large, clean and well organised. Susi prioritised safety and shared how to work with the materials properly, so I felt confident working solo. She was also very inclusive by introducing me to her other regular attendees, and sharing her attention between all of us. There were so many traditional and contemporary designs to choose from, and you're also encouraged to bring your own if preferred. The workshop also went for a perfect amount of time, and you're not rushed to finish your design. Thank you so much to Susi for a great class - I will definitely be back!
  • 5/5 from Carolyn Foley, attended Jul 2026: Susi is an excellent teacher with a wealth of experience and knowledge! Great teacher & a fun class!
  • 5/5 from Amanda Langley, attended Jun 2026: I learnt so much from Suzi about painting on glass such as stains, brushes, design details, wh&s. I would have loved to learn more about the firing process. Suzi has excellent knowledge and was so kind in sharing so much knowledge in our limited time.
  • 5/5 from Desmond J Holmes, attended Jun 2026: A terrific traditional stained glass painting class with Susi, a very knowledable and patient teacher. The class is suitable for interested people of all abilities, in a friendly environment.
  • 5/5 from Dannica Shaw, attended Jun 2026: Amazing class with incredibly knowledgeable teach. I learned the basics of stainglass painting, so much fun I want to go more classes with teacher Susi. Would happily recommend to anyone interested in learning more about glass art.
  • 5/5 from Julie Mehegan, attended Dec 2025: Excellent short course when distance and attendance is an issue. Susie is a highly informative and engaging teacher. So much information shared along with indivualised instruction as the class has an opportunity to choose their own piece creating a variety of techniques that Susie was able to use to inform and educate others while at the same time assisting in helping you create a kiln ready piece. Friendly banter was encouraged in a supportive learning environment. Great class!
