Courses for  2023
Welcome  all courses are suitable for beginners.
I have been working with glass for 10 years and love helping students to develop their creative ideas while providing support or suggestions along the way.

Courses are based on the edge of the beautiful Forest of Dean , but only four miles from Gloucester or 25 minutes to Cheltenham or Ross on Wye.          In Oakle Street, Churcham.

I provide a wide range of different courses, so that  students who have been before can find something new to develop their skills and knowledge further.Since starting in September 2019 over 400 students have attended my courses .

To Book email leighsladenglass@gmail.com , and I will send details for payment.

Gift Vouchers can be provided for any course please just email.
