Excellent service, I emailed a query Sunday night as the glass had come loose in our front door. Keith came to look the next day, gave us a price then fixed it on the Wednesday! Great service at a great price, thank you.

I had such an amazing time at the one day course! Keith is a fantastic tutor and guided me through every step. I thought up a design and emailed it to Keith in advance to ensure it was achievable. There were only a few alterations which Keith helped me with on the day. I was amazed that by the end of the session I had a completed piece that I could take home with me. The whole experience was magical and I will definitely be returning in the future for another class. Thank you Keith :)

I had an amazing time and thoroughly enjoyed my experience. Although very arty I had never tackled stained glass before. Keith was very patient and was there when needed, but once shown what to do at each stage of the process he let me get on with it, which is the way I like to work. My daughter was so impressed with piece I made for my grandson she says she will make it into a light box for his bedroom. I would recommend anybody to have a go and whose not afraid to get a bit dirty, but make sure you think of a design before hand and make fairly simple, for those haven't done it before, as it saves time . Thanks Keith, I may well come back again someday. Jill Hewett
