Courses in Glass 2008

For 2008 I am delighted to be able to take 4 students at a time in my new fully equipped studio.

If you would like to work solo that will still be available but for those who would prefer the company of others you can book as a group and receive a discount for a group booking.

Cosy Studio

Whatever you would like to achieve in glass I am here to help! My studio is small which is why I only take four students at a time- but it is in a beautiful setting and you will enjoy a couple of days with peaceful and inspiring views.

Costs
£165 per person ( This includes all the materials.)
All course fees are payable in advance please.
I am fully insured as a Stained Glass Teacher.
I look forward to hearing from you soon

“Dear Amanda,

I have enjoyed the course so much, and I feel that I really have learnt so much! I’ve been fascinated by stained glass for years, but have never had the opportunity to work with it.

When I booked the course, I assumed that you would advise me make something simple (but frankly boring) with mostly straight lines that would turn out to be a ‘guaranteed success’ for a beginner like me. So I was taken by surprise when you actually let me design the window that I had in my mind, and was far more ambitious!

I feel that I have learnt a lot about each stage of the copper foiling process, and enjoyed learning new skills and seeing a window coming together. I was great to have the opportunity to work with you on a one-to-one basis, and to have the flexibility to concentrate on the things that were important to me. My window is now on display in our lounge and I think it looks absolutely lovely- my friends and family are very impressed, too.

I am hoping to be able to do more work like this, and will hopefully come back before too long for another course to expand my skills further!”

''I'm Victor, I am very interested in Stained Glass and have just completed a couple of very rewarding days with Amanda in her workshop.


Some years ago I completed a stained glass course and have made a number of panels in the past years building up many questions, in particular practical application and fine tuning construction techniques.

I contacted Amanda, met with her, we sorted out what I wanted to achieve and while making a panel over a couple of days I worked through my questions with her advice - achieving everything I had set out to.

Amanda is very professional with a wealth of knowledge, being able to work through and practice problems in a hands on approach has been invaluable. She is quite inspirational and has broadened my knowledge and increased my confidence with my glass art.''
