TUITION AND WORKSHOPS
Jude has been teaching traditional stained glass skills for almost twenty-five years. Many of the workshops have been in her own studio, initially at Barrack Street and more recently at The Old Bakery studio in North Allington. Teaching is usually in small groups of three or four students, and occasionally on an individual basis.
In the past she has also taught larger groups of students at Crumpets Farm, near Lytchett Matravers, running her very popular ‘Stained Glass in the Garden’ workshops.
“Thank you both for a great weekend, I really enjoyed your company, your patience and the whole experience.”
Bryan, December 2023
“Thanks so much … I have had an absolutely brilliant weekend and I love the piece!”
