SEVENOAKS SCHOOL, LOWER SIXTH. May 2023
Clare offered some hugely inspiring stained glass workshops to a group of our sixth form students. They immediately responded to her calm expertise and encouragement. Expert in the tools and techniques, Clare facilitated the students in balancing some individual creativity with the discipline of the process. We would gladly welcome her back to do more sessions in the future.

“A great day learning to create copper foiled stained glass items. Cutting glass felt really hard to start with but I got the hang of it and once you get going it’s fine! Clare is a patient and inspiring teacher, she supplies all equipment including glass (in many colours)and refreshments. It was a great introduction to copper foiling and I am really happy with what I achieved.”

"What a wonderful, creative and mindful day I spent copper foiling with Clare.
She is so good at teaching new techniques, showed endless patience while I learnt to cut the glass and was then so happy for me when I finished my piece - a gorgeous bunch of snowdrops. I would definitely do another copper foiling day with Clare, I left with a great sense of achievement. Thanks Clare, what a fun day!"
