Jonathan Cooke
Courses 2021-2
All glass painting courses at Swansea and elsewhere are suitable for anyone, whatever their current skill level. The stains and enamels course is recommended for those who have first attended the glass painting course, either previously, or back-to-back. These courses are popular and due to Covid restrictions this year there is currently a waiting list.
Early enquiries for Easter 2022 are advised.
For more than 25 years, Jonathan has worked alongside students to meet their individual requirements, and his courses receive excellent reviews - you can read some of them here.
He currently offers tuition at his LS21 workshop,
limited to two participants.

Feedback on LS21 course March 2021
"The course was so wonderful! I think that Jonathan is a great teacher and also patient, very kind and encouraging. I learned so much in these three days! What I also appreciated is that he explained why sometimes things don't work and what to do about it."
"Thank you for all the knowledge you have shared with me and all the skills you have given me over the last three days, I have learned enough to keep me practising for a lifetime! You have also inspired me immensely and given me the confidence to work harder on my own art..."

Feedback from participants September 2019
“Really great! I enjoyed every minute and learned so much. Have learned a lot not only about glass painting, but the history, construction of windows in the past and present.”
“I loved the course and Jonathan Cooke and can recommend it highly.”
“Fabulous. Incredibly enjoyable and I feel I have learned so much. Jonathan is a wonderful teacher – his knowledge and expertise are second to none and his enthusiasm and ability to communicate his skills are rich and wonderful.”
“I had an amazing experience on the course. Jonathan was brilliant and the AGC were always available to help. 5 star experience.”
"Dear Jonathan
I just wanted to write and say how much I enjoyed the 6 days. It was a wonderful experience and I feel I have learnt so much, my head is still full of it all. I feel so inspired to practise and paint and try new things. You were so interesting to listen to and watch, and it was exceptionally generous of you to allow us all to use your brushes - they must be very precious to you!..."
