I started stained glass classes because I was
curious about what they entailed. I thought
I would only do them for one term and
then move on to something else. Two years
later I cannot wait for the next lesson!

were rusty, but very quickly improved
with help from our tutor Helga who is
extremely knowledgeable and creative.
She helps us to solve the seemingly
unsolvable! My sewing is more
