Information is good so far but the sound quality is not wonderful. It is difficult to hear everything the tutor says. I am listening through an external hifi amplifier and a pair of Tannoy column speakers so I know it isn't my equipment.

By Darlene on 9/5/2023

This was a great course. I already do the copper foil technique so I was really happy to learn more about using lead came. I also learned some new tips and tricks for foiling which was a great surprise. Thanks so much!

Camera angle and distance made it difficult to see what was going on. Sometimes the work was completely out of the picture. Her explanations were good and she is a good teacher. It still gave us a good idea of what to do.

By Melissa van Daalen Wetters on 1/27/2023

So far the materials list, the bit of history and the words have been clear! Very friendly and personable. I wish it had official transcriptions, and I see there is some lack in the safety material! No respirator for filtering the soldering chemicals or gloves for handling the lead or d-leading soap mentioned!

By Debi Mann on 7/1/2022

It was very helpful. It would be great to have a class that also explains a little bit about how to handle mistakes and what common mistakes may be.

Filming is a bit rough and ready and sometimes I can’t see what she’s doing , but the narration is fine and she is covering all the essentials clearly.

By Lynne Smith on 5/11/2020

I used the course to help me mend a stained glass fire guard that had broken. I am very pleased with the result and have enjoyed doing the project and will probably go on to do more. Thank you .

By Karen Carey on 10/4/2019

The class was great . Told me what I needed to know at this beginning stage with out confusing and cluttering the lesson with stuff that I didn't need to know. Would have been great if there was some close ups of what was being demonstrated.

By Maryna Pentz on 4/29/2019

Yes, it was great. One thing, I would have liked to see how you grinned your oval and odd shaped pieces, your arm was in front of the camera. But the rest, great! I did the mosaic course first, and I have enjoyed this one as well.

By Chris Verberne on 9/8/2017

Very interesting and clear course. It is easy to follow and to understand. The teacher shows a lot of love for stained glass artwork. You get a lot of free hints and tips.
