Brenda Peake –
An absolutely fabulous day learning a new craft in a bespoke workshop with a highly-skilled, patient, skilled instructor. The class numbers were limited which meant participants were able to get help as and when needed. Gigha gave clear demonstrations and explanations, and was attentive, checking everyone was managing throughout the day. Lunch was delicious. Everyone was delighted with their final creations. I was so taken with the day, I bought a starter kit to continue at home, and am booked onto a further course, along with two friends. Great day.
Gigha Klinkenborg –
Thank you so much for your wonderful review, Brenda.
It was a pleasure to have you in the workshop, and I’m delighted to hear that you enjoyed the day and felt supported throughout the learning process. Creating in a small group really does allow everyone to receive individual guidance, so I’m glad that made a difference to your experience.
Thank you also for your kind words about the demonstrations, tuition, and lunch. Seeing everyone leave with beautiful finished pieces and a sense of achievement is one of the most rewarding parts of teaching.
I’m especially thrilled that you felt inspired to continue at home with a starter kit, and I can’t wait to welcome you back to another course with your friends.
Thank you again for your support and enthusiasm. It means a great deal.
Gigha. ☺️

I attended the Everlasting plants and flower workshop today.
It was so interesting and fullfilling. I was delighted with the flowers I made and Ghiga was constantly on hand to guide and advise.
It was a thoroughly enjoyable day and I’m sure I will be back for another course.
Gigha Klinkenborg –
Thank you so much for your lovely review, Sharon. I’m delighted to hear that you enjoyed the Everlasting Plants and Flowers Workshop and found it both interesting and fulfilling.
It’s wonderful to know that you were pleased with the flowers you created. Thank you for taking the time to share your experience. I look forward to welcoming you back for another workshop soon and helping you create even more beautiful handmade pieces.

Started on my own but soon felt really comfortable and in the company of friends. Gigha’s informative, gentle approach and teaching style makes learning a new craft easy. Guaranteed to produce a wonderful piece of glass work to take home and be proud of at the end of all her courses. Generous and fun atmosphere X thank you Gigha x

An amazing and enjoyable day. Excellent value for money.
From the moment we walked through the door to a wonderful display of Gigha’s work we felt inspired. Gigha is a wonderful teacher, she was extremely patient with our ineptitude at the start of the day, imparting advice and encouragement. By the end of the day we were surprisingly able at stainglass creations.
We r all planning to return

Have just had the most wonderful day here with Gigha doing a workshop on stained glass flowers. Gigha is a very patient and helpful tutor, and very incouraging and inspiring. The studio space is wonderful with so much amazing inspiration from Gighas own amazing work. A wonderful lunch was provided as well as lots of delicious cups of tea! It was genuinely such a lovely day, I hope to be back soon, definitely worth the trip up from Cornwall! Thank you Gigha for the welcoming and warm environment and sharing your skills and knowledge with us! ❤️

I have been going to Gigha’s workshops for a very long time and each time she helps me to make something I love. It’s a day where I get completely lost in what I’m doing. We get the best lunch too and are looked after really well all day. Fabulous choice of glass and projects. I would not hesitate in recommending that you go. You will have a wonderful time. And please do not worry about safety and covid protection, Gigha has everything sorted really well. Thank you so much Gigha xx
