The recent Basic stained glass course had

four people who came from Bolton, Hyde, Halifax and Macclesfield. The oldest student was Derek from Bolton who is 79 years old.

We worked through the stages of glass cutting

 and leading to make the stained glass that each student took away at the end of the day.

I had some great feed back at the end of the

course on the feed back forms :

“ It was a great introduction and I will be definitely be carrying on with it, thanks.”

“Must come for an expanded course next year.”

“Potentially the start of some creative work.”

“Enjoyed it thoroughly.”
