“My sister and I loved this class. Hideko was such a good teacher and gave great instructions and insight to the process. I’d recommend having a bit of a think about which design you’d like the make before the class so you can spend the time deciding colours because there were so many great ones to choose from!”
“Hideko was so amazing!! She was so lovely and helped us out so much, especially towards the end where we were under a time pressure :). Totally recommend!!”
“Awesome awesome awesome! We purchased this as a gift for our Dad and Hideko walked us through to make 3 lovely pieces. She even made one along side us and gave it to us as a gift to our mother. It’s a unique experience, made even better by Hideko’s knack for conversation and teaching.”
“Hideko was a fantastic teacher, so patient friendly, positive and welcoming. The time flew by and we left with such beautiful pieces and an abundance of knowledge that we can take forward. Could not recommend this course enough, can’t wait to bring others back and make some more stunning creations!”
“This was a lovely class. Hiniko is a fantastic teacher very structured to get through all the tasks, encouraging and helpful with the trickier bits. I'd definitely recommend for anyone wanting some more creativity and /or craftiness!”
“5 Stars - A Truly Special Experience!
I had the absolute pleasure of taking a stained glass suncatcher class with Hideko in Dulwich Hill, and it was a truly memorable experience. From start to finish, Hideko's passion for her craft was evident in every step of the process. She is incredibly knowledgeable and approachable, and I felt so welcomed in her beautiful, light-filled studio, which was brimming with plants and positive energy.
What stood out most was Hideko’s flexibility and dedication - I was lucky to be the only student at the class, she made sure to give me her full attention, providing clear, thoughtful guidance. She walked me through every step of creating my suncatcher, explaining each technique verbally and illustrating the instructions so I could easily follow along. Her patience and clarity made the entire experience feel so enjoyable and stress-free.
Hideko’s work with glass is simply stunning—her art and jewelry are exquisite, and it’s clear that she pours so much love and skill into everything she creates. To top it all off, she even provided sweet treats, which made the class feel even more personal and special.
I left the class not only with a beautiful suncatcher I could be proud of but also with a renewed appreciation for stained glass as an art form. If you're looking for a warm, insightful, and truly enriching creative experience, I highly recommend taking a class with Hideko for the amazing craft experience, ease of parking, positive vibes and her exceptional emotional intelligence as a teacher!
Thank you, Hideko, for such a wonderful experience!”
