“It was very good to see the consistency and also the quantity of paint prepared for use, almost immediately, for tracing and flooding. So, the way that you mix the paint with the brush on the pallet, it was very illustrative, something that it would be difficult to explain only with words” (FaĦbio Leite de Moura Fonseca, Sao Paulo, Brazil)
“I must confess I had a near religious experience while watching The Diamond Lights of Hampton Hall - sorry [this is just an e-mail] but I have not found a piece of paper that is worthy of your great knowledge. Thank you again” (Avril MacCheyne, Essex, England)
“Every time I watch I notice something new and I am enjoying putting the techniques to use”(Hector MacSween, Glasgow, Scotland)
“... absolutely spectacular and the presentation is extremely well done” (Cherrie Welsh, Vancouver, Canada)
“You are such a great help to me. And to be frank, you reflect a new style in the stained glass community, because I recall how it was back few years ago when artists only held their artistic information for themselves and they didn’t share it with anyone! With you it is 180 degrees different: you give so much compared with what you take” (Hassan Al Saffar, Kuwait City, Kuwait)
“... a lot of helpful information, and whether I succeed exactly like you won’t matter because it has been worth the experience” (William Corbett, Dorchester, England)
“Thanks so much for The Diamond Lights of Hampton Hall. I’m so glad I bought it as it’s so clear to watch and learn fromand so easy to access. Also because it’s just so great to watch the project from beginning to end and see all your beautiful painting along the way” (Sara Burns, Telford, England)
“I’ve spent the last week watching The Diamond Lights of Hampton Hall - brilliant! You see the consistency of the paint. You see the friction of the brush passing through it. You see the paint flowing off the brush. You see the pressure you are using or the lightness of touch. This cannot be conveyed in a still image. I could also watch what you were doing on the palette. It was so helpful and has increased my confidence” (Louise Clarkson, Stroud, England)
“I received the Diamond Lights today, so I immediately stopped what I was working on, popped it into the DVD player and sat mesmerized watching all the techniques shown”(Steven Karnowski, Fenton, USA)
“I look forward to watching it again and again and again!” (Kam Kumar, London, England)

“The Diamond Lights arrived this pm and I put it into the laptop and sat transfixed for the whole program! Way to go! This is a totally professional presentation and so captivating! I could not stop or pause it till it was over. All I can say is WOW! And I have read the guides regarding the tracing, palette, highlights, staining etc. but to see it start to finish is so completely different. The old saying 'a picture is worth a thousand words' is absolutely right! This is a hit! No, a home-run! I will watch this over and over to glean every speck of information you so wonderfully placed there for me to get. I am amazed. Thank you!” (Jack Allen, LaPorte, Indiana, USA)
