Stained Glass for Beginners (Leaded method)

Aimee is a skilled And inspiring crafts woman a great teacher. She guided us through the leaded glass process calmly and even when everyone project was different we managed to get our stained glass panels finished in time to take home. Aimee’s studio is great place to see more examples of stained glass.

I had such an enjoyable time. I went in thinking it'd be hopeless, I can't design and I'm not great with practical things but Aimee was really great at explaining things, giving feedback, ideas and guidance, was really nice and made me feel really comfortable and at ease and by the end of the day I was really proud and chuffed at what I had accomplished! Learning about and doing the process and coming out with something I was actually proud to out up in my front window!

This was an absolutely fantastic workshop. Aimee was warm and welcoming and very knowledgeable. I was quickly designing and making thanks to Aimee's great teaching and gentle support, and I absolutely love what I made. It was wonderful to be in Aimee's studio and to be inspired by her beautiful work. Thank you for a lovely day.

Excellent class from start to finish - Aimee was a superb teacher offering continued guidance and reassurance. I would recommend this class to anyone with a balance of creative fun and learning a new skill.

Such a fabulous class! Such a lovely and productive way to spend a day. I knew very little about how to make stained class art beforehand, all I knew is was that it looked beautiful but by the end I had successfully made a piece to be proud of. Over the course of the workshop, we learnt to cut the glass, cut the led and solder it all together. The class is a great mixture of infusing your own creative freedom and getting to the nitty gritty of making the piece. It was both challenging and cathartic. Aimee was very attentive, the right amount of chatty and had lots of knowledge - it was really interesting actually to hear some of the history of glass. A really lovely class! Highly recommend

I had a great day making my glass panel and would recommend it to anyone to try (as I have to anyone who'll listen). Aimee is an excellent teacher and all stages of the process were clearly described and demonstrated, with additional help offered when needed. Thank you.

Great venue with a really great teacher. We got to learn the entire process from start to finish. To be honest I’m not an arty person however I really enjoyed the day

I had such a fab day on this stained glass workshop. Aimee was a wonderful teacher and was so friendly. She was very clear when showing us how to use the tools and was always there to help when we needed. The day was split into different parts starting with designing our piece and cutting the glass, then moving onto assembling our cut glass into the lead. I took my friend to this workshop and we were both so proud of the finished pieces we made - especially as we had never done anything like this before! The venue was lovely and easy to find. It was great to be able to see a variety of Aimee's own pieces as we were in her workshop. There were also some great places to get food on the lunch break. I'd definitely recommend this workshop and I'd love to go again.

I attended a day course making stained glass windows with a small group of students. The experience was really social, informative, creative and resulted in taking home a unique piece of art. I loved how varied the final outcomes where and I really enjoyed the session. It felt like enough time to get really stuck in and learn a new skill. I'd highly recommend this experience and it would be great fun to do with a group. Coming to the session with a few ideas is a great idea and the tutoring you get is exceptional so definitely worth checking out.

What a unique experience. John and I absolutely loved it. We went home with two beautiful handmade stained glass. Aimee teaching was great. Stained glass is truly a niche craft and it needs to perpetuate. Her workshop is full of materials and colors. Thank you very much !!!

Attending Aimee's class was one of the highlights of 2019! I was really excited but also a little daunted by the prospect of working with glass. Aimee is a great teacher and she expertly guided me throughout the day. She encouraged me to follow through on my design and choices of glass and I left with a stunning Art Deco style stained glass panel which takes pride of place at home. Highly recommended and also makes a great present!

Both Aimee and her course are amazing. To think that you can walk into this course with no knowledge at all and walk out with your own stained glass window is amazing, and totally a testament to Aimee’s incredible talent and her fantastic teaching abilities. Honestly. Take this course. You’ll walk away full of ideas and a new found talent.

Completed this course yesterday and it was one of the funnest days ever! There were two of us in the class and Aimee was very knowledgable and helped us on our projects. We had a lot of flexibility in what we decided to do, and I came away with an A3 sized stained glass window which looks amazing. We started with designing and then she went through the glass cutting process (extremely cool). This took us up till lunch and then we got into leading it all together which made it look like a real object. We then did all the joins and it was ready to take away. It was a long but very exciting day and it absolutely flew by. I recommend this course to anyone, it was great! Kani

Aimee was a very patient teacher and Instilled lots of confidence in me. You could tell she really cared about me having the ‘whole experience’ and producing a stain glass masterpiece 😂 Highly recommended!!!! Amber

I completely lucked out with the stained glass course with Aimée. When I arrived she apologised as a couple of people had rearranged for another date so it just left me - basically one to one tuition for the day. This meant we could take on something a little larger and more complex which was brilliant. I had already thought about, although not drawn up, some designs but she had lots of options available anyway. She talked me through all the processes really simply so I was able to feel like I got a grasp of each phase quite quickly and if I needed any help she was happy to step in. She was also lovely to chat to and a situation that could have been quite awkward with just the two of us actually felt like having a day being 'crafty' with a mate. Thoroughly recommend the course and came away with a piece that apparently will last at least 80 years before any restoration work required - amazing.
