“Ffion was an excellent instructor, friendly and helpful, but also a good sport who helped us pull off a birthday surprise for a friend. Thanks Ffion!!
The choice of flowers and glass was perfect. I was a bit worried about the soldering but it was actually quite easy. Would definitely do another class with Ffion again.”
“Great teacher, informative, patient, friendly, had fun making the stained glass. Definitely something different and a good skill to learn if into crafts.”
“Really enjoyable and the teacher lovely. I was very pleased with my crafted stained glass piece and it is hanging in my window. If driving give yourself an extra 10 minutes to find parking (in case not immediately outside).”
“My girlfriend and I had a wonderful time creating a wildflower design in stained glass. Our instructor, Ffion, was incredibly easygoing and empathetic. She communicated clearly and guided us carefully through each step of the workshop. We’re extremely grateful for this unforgettable experience.
However, there are a few aspects that could be improved. We attended the workshop on a very cold day, with temperatures around -2°C. Unfortunately, the building wasn’t heated, and although our instructor provided some heating elements, the space itself was far from cozy or welcoming. To be honest, it was uncomfortably cold—my girlfriend’s feet even went numb. Adding to the discomfort, there was no hot water in the building, which made visits to the restroom challenging.
The location of the Mivart Studios (or more broadly, the historic building) was another concern. The surrounding neighborhood felt somewhat unsafe, unwelcoming, and quite dirty. It lacked the convenience of nearby cafés like Costa, Pret, or Starbucks, which could have enhanced the overall experience.
Additionally, I would have loved to see a greater variety of flowers and stained glass options provided for the workshop. On a personal note, I felt the price for this event was a bit high considering these limitations.
That said, we still had an enjoyable time, and we’re looking forward to trying other activities with ClassBento.
Cheers,”
“Ffion was a really great teacher, very patient and engaging. It was so fun to learn how to solder to make a frame for the lovely wild flower and glass piece and I felt the workshop was good value for money.”
“Amazing session - Ffion was so lovely and friendly and made us feel very welcomed! She explained everything really clearly and made a nice relaxed atmosphere. 10/10 - would definitely recommend!”
