“Great tuition of the basics and then very flexible in what we actually made. Think everyone making the same first piece was really good because it got us all up to speed with basic skills quickly and being able to make something more individual later meant I came home with something I really wanted.

“Just wanted to say what a great weekend it's been - having fun back at Artison.
You should be really proud of what you've achieved there - it's such an inspiring place which attracts both lovely teachers and interesting participants. The venue is perfect, catering superb (not good for the waistline!), it's great to see photos and examples of previous courses to tempt us (successfully) to return! The website is brilliant, great design, images etc, always up to date - far better than any other equivalent I've seen. Can't wait for my next visit!

“I have just opened a ArtisOn newsletter to find my stained glass panel on it – wow! …. I had a fantastic 2 days, the company, tutor, facilities and food are first class. You have achieved so much in such a short time, you should be very proud. Please can you put me on the waiting list for the next 2 day stained glass course, I would really like to make another panel to go along side this one. Thanks again”
