Japanese Carving Class - Bluebells
This is one of the best workshops I have joined! Delightful tutor, great company. This is a very relaxing craft and the hour and a half flew by! I only needed 5 minutes after the workshop ended to tidy up my work and then fit it in the frame. I'm very pleased with my work.

Macramé Jewellery Making Workshop
Gisela is a wonderful tutor. Great at explaining and fab tips too. I nearly finished my bracelet during the class too. A result as it usually takes me ages to finish workshop projects. Great fun.

Foam Clay Flower Mirror Workshop
Great fun. The air dry clay is lovely to work with, no mess which is a bonus! The demonstration by Irene was excellent. I look forward to making the rest of the flowers tomorrow.

Small Dog Coat Sewing Tutorial
This was a faster paced workshop than I've previously experienced. Hannah is excellent. I look forward to completing the dog coat during the week with the help of the video.

Textiles class
Rachel is an excellent tutor. I really enjoyed this workshop, it's so much easier to learn when someone demonstrates at the same time as describing. This is a good value workshop as I now have some clever ideas to repair clothes in a pretty way plus I can use the embroidery stitches leant today for embroidery projects.

Beginner's Guide to Crochet
Kathryn is an excellent tutor. Very clear in her demonstration. I took advantage of the discounted workshop price to have another attempt at learning to crochet and this time its clicked. Thank you Kathryn.

Fluid Art class
Rachel is an excellent tutor, providing great tips and creative ideas for the various shaped baubles. Particularly good ideas for using up the "left overs". I look forward to hours of fun filling all the baubles. This worshop box is very good value.

Rugilee is a delightful tutor. Enjoyable hour. I was pleased I had cut out the templates before the workshop as I struggled to draw around the templates, cut out and glue the poinsettia in the time. I am happy that I do know how to complete the project tomorrow.

Fabulous tutor, so patient and knowledgable. She not only talked us through and demonstrated how to make the Advent calendar but also gave us useful information about how the sewing machine worked e.g. bobbins and replacing needles. I look forward to completing the calendar over the next few days.

Beginner's Guide to Crochet
Great workshop. Kathryn explained each step well, she is very patient. I had tried the crochet bunting workshop but found I got a bit lost. This time I think I've got it thanks to Kathryn. Now more practice.

Thank you Irene. The hour and a half flew by! I was so lucky to be the only person on my session. Irene was very patient. I now feel confident that I understand the principles and have worked examples to refer to as I continue with the lovebirds picture. Many hours of fun to come!

Kate was fab. So patient, going back over each step when someone went wrong. Really enjoyed it. The extra half hour is just right. An hour and a half is long enough to concentrate on something new! I look forward to practising daily until my bunting is complete.

My grandaughters really enjoyed this fun session and then spent the weekend filling the rest of the baubles. My daughter was thrilled that the box also provided weekend entertainment!

What a fabulous way to spend Sunday afternoon. This is my second workshop. Thank you Emma. Emma is excellent. She provided clear instructions and I am very pleased with my two cloches. I only had to finish painting the base after the workshop finished.

One-to-one Sewing Workshop
Yet another wonderful session. This time showing me what all the machine attachments do. Great tutor, professional, friendly and resourceful as she wasn't familiar with my machine but worked out things. I gained lots of tips. Thank you

One-to-one Sewing Workshop
What a fabulous experience! I am a lapsed sewer and had no confidence with a new electronic sewing machine. Sadly I forgot to note my tutors name. She was delightful. She had not seen my model before but her experience and professionalism and enthusiasm shone through as we worked our way through the controls, troubleshooting where required. The practice sheets are well thought out and useful for developing skills with the various stitch choices. I will be booking another workshop.
