I've been wanting to learn lead came for a while & this course was the perfect introduction. The PDF was super cohesive and easy to understand with lots of pictures and well described tutorials - and it looked great too! I completed the course over a weekend to prep me for a large window projected I was commissioned for. The lead came community facebook group was super helpful for any questions I had about structure and design. I'm glad i took this course and am grateful for such an amazing glass store & community :)
With no local studio/classes to speak of I was so excited for a course that included the ability to ask questions along the way! Though the instructions were so well laid out that I didn't come across any. Already looking forward to my next lead project and honing these new skills!
My order was received with no issues. I must say other companies could take lessons on packaging from you😊! I’m currently going through the pdf and am anxious to start making my window. Your pdf is very detailed so I don’t feel I’ll have any issues following it however if I do I will reach out. I’m just recovering from a bad fracture to my dominant arm so I maybe a little slower than some of your other students! Thanks for this opportunity!
