Hideo Aoyama

I enjoyed Hideo' stain glass workshop very much. Exceedingly knowleadgeable and patient explains in details each step of stain glass process.
We had interesting and positive discussions about other hobbies and not in the least we finished talking about different places in Japan and of course, the exquisite Japanese cuisine.
I strongly recommend this workshop, you will not be dissapointed.

My partner and I got to do this course as a late anniversary gift and absolutely adored it. Hideo was so informative and supportive as we learnt and the private class size was wonderful to get the most out of the course. We actually really want to book in again, it was just fantastic. Thanks so much!!

Thanks Hideo I learnt a lot today ,I greatly enjoyed the course . For anyone wanting to learnt a new hobby or skill I would highly recommend attending one of Hideos classes

I recently got a card from a friend and it was one of Hideo’s cards. I absolutely adore it and ordered some for myself. These cards are so beautiful, I want to frame some of them. The cards are of a very high quality. And there is information at the back from where the flowers are coming from. A piece of nature.

Was gifted this workshop from a friend, and I absolutely loved it. Hideo was extremely helpful and I look forward to doing another one in the future! Thank you!

I thoroughly enjoyed Hideos workshop. He's a fantastic teacher, very relaxed and incredibly knowledgeable. I would recommend this to anyone wanting to try something new. I was nervous about cutting glass and working with solder, under Hideos instruction I left feeling confident, and proud of my sun catcher. I would definitely recommend this to anyone.

I did this course with my son. It was so enjoyable. Simply that! Enjoyable and would do it again in a heartbeat.

We had an amazing time doing our stained glass workshop with Hideo! He was incredibly helpful and we had so much fun. We absolutely love our finished pieces!

Drove 2hrs and did not disappoint! Such a fun day! Hideo was super helpful and made sure we left with beautiful pieces!

If you get an opportunity to try the basics of copper foil stained glass art, jump at the chance. My daughter and I attended Hideo’s workshop on Saturday and thoroughly enjoyed learning the technique and creating for ourselves a glass sun catcher. Hideo is charming, with a laid back approach which makes for a relaxing atmosphere.. He is very experienced and an excellent instructor, giving clear instructions instilling confidence to the participants.
We came home with a finished piece of art and enthusiasm to learn more about stained glass techniques.

We have wanted to try stain glass for a while. Hideo made us feel very comfortable and the workshop was enjoyable with his patience and guidance. Thoroughly enjoyed this experience and walked away feeling we had learnt a new skill with a finished product to take home. Happy to have supported a local Ballina business.

We had an absolutely amazing workshop session with Hideo! He gave clear instructions and guidance through each step, and was willing to make sure we all had an item we were proud of. He is such a laid back and calming guy, so we all felt very comfortable and confident! Can't recommend him enough, if you have the time do yourself a favour and book in!

I had a great time and learned so much! Hideo explained every stage of creating stained glass thoroughly and clearly. Now I know how to do it myself. Many thanks!

Hideo did an amazing job at preserving my beautiful orchids! He was so thoughtful and caring with my flowers and kept me updated with each step. He also went out of his way to collect my flowers from the courier, because I accidentally sent it to the wrong address. He made sure the flowers survived since I sent them from Melbourne. Honestly, the best service and I’m so glad I’ve stumbled upon his work :) highly recommend Hideo, and I’ll be telling all future brides to work with him to preserve their beautiful wedding flowers!

It was my first time making stained glass, but he taught us very kindly and carefully, so I was able to create mine with satisfaction.
There are enough options for shapes and glass, so you can make your own design.
I needed some help, but I wanted to do it by myself, and his help was perfect!
You can really focus on it, and it gives you a break from the usual routine.
I highly recommend it :)
