5.00I bought this half day taster as a birthday gift for my fiance, as I knew she was keen to experience stained glass creation. When we arrived we were given a warm welcome by Ruth who showed us to her well appointed studio. After an introduction and a hot drink Ruth offered us multiple templates to create our own piece. Once we started we were both truly committed to our design and loved the whole process. The workshop was so much fun and Ruth is so patient, accomplished and very talented. She made you feel very special and the whole afternoon made for a memorable experience!
A lovely afternoon in an idyllic creative paradise

5.00Had a wonderful afternoon with a friend at the Blue Skies glass studio learning how to make stained glass. We chose a sunset design and Ruth explained clearly how it works and was so friendly and helpful throughout. We overran a bit but it was no trouble, we weren't rushed at all. We both thoroughly enjoyed our afternoon and will definitely be back again. I highly recommend these workshops if you want to try something a bit different. So much fun and we were both so chuffed with the final results!
The perfect creative workshop!

5.00Bought the taster experience as a Christmas present for my Dad, and paid for myself to join him. We both had an amazing morning and thoroughly enjoyed ever part of it. Ruth was so welcoming and explained every part of the process, making sure we were comfortable with what we were doing. Ruth has created a calm but fun environment and we were so pleased with our creations. Parking was great and we made a day of it by walking across Beacon hill into Rottingdean for lunch (only 20min walk from the studio). Would highly recommend this experience!
Great Workshop!

5.00Always having been fascinated by stained glass I couldn’t believe my luck when I saw this opportunity in Rottingdean on a family trip away. We had such a fun afternoon, it was a joy to be creative together and the workshop was led beautifully by Ruth. She is genuinely an amazing teacher. We were seamlessly guided through every process and all absolutely chuffed with our glass works when we left. It’s a magical experience and amazing value for money. All I can say is do it!
