• 4/5 from Zoe Short, attended Jun 2026: The workshop itself was great, very engaging and learnt alot. Sadly my pack didnt arrive on time, due to an issue with royal mail not following my delivery instructions. I requested redelivery and rhe earliest date was the same day as the course they failed to deliver until the day after the course. I know you have no control over this but perhaps consider using a different courier service
• 4/5 from Lavinia Walker, attended Jun 2026: I enjoyed the class. How to do the letters was well explained and we were able to try it out with a number of them - different sizes and shapes. I only put good as I would have liked the class to be slightly longer with more time to practice the letters, especially more difficult ones. I would also have liked 2 copies of the paperwork given rather than 1 so that I can practice directly on it rather than how it was done.
• 5/5 from Victoria Judson, attended May 2026: Loved it very informative. Irene was ever so nice. Looking at doing more courses now.
• 5/5 from Joyce, attended May 2026: Gina was great - she explained and demonstrated everything so well. I really enjoyed the workshop - the time just flew! As a left-hander I was delighted to be able to participate so well and hope that with more practise I will become speedier!
• 5/5 from Emily Heaphy, attended May 2026: Really great lesson, and Gina was great showing how to do it for me (a lefty!) The kit we got was great too, highly recommend
• 5/5 from Sheryl Warner, attended May 2026: Really informative, great pace & well organised with a lot of engagement with Gina. I can’t wait to watch the video to learn how to do the rest of the letters & learn more about the different techniques.
• 5/5 from Anonymised ClassBento customer, attended May 2026: Great for beginners, easy paced class covering the basic skills. Great kit sent out in advance. Perfect

• 4/5 from Anonymised ClassBento customer, attended May 2026: The workshop was delivered well, with clear, concise instructions. Good demonstration. Good basic first class
• 4/5 from Charlotte Cowdell, attended May 2026: A good introduction but could have been longer as not everything was covered and got a bit rushed at the end.
• 3/5 from Anonymised ClassBento customer, attended May 2026: Course was fine, but I had not realised the content was the same as the Modern Calligraphy course which I had already taken, so disappointing
• 5/5 from Claire Wells, attended Apr 2026: An excellent online lesson on creative writing by Irene. I even impressed myself! It's now something I can spend some time practicing myself. Irene was warm, friendly and encouraged us to ask questions.
• 5/5 from Emma, attended Apr 2026: Really lovely class. Gina was a great teacher. very patient and explained everything really clearly. Explained all the different types of pens and what they could be used for. A lovely way to spend just over an hour on the long bank holiday weekend. Would highly recommend.
• 5/5 from Caron Scott, attended Apr 2026: The course was great and Gina was brilliant, but nowhere near enough time to cover everything.which was disappointing. A very much introductory guide and a shame as Gina clearly had lots more to teach us.
• 4/5 from Anonymised ClassBento customer, attended Apr 2026: Could have been longer to include other forms of lettering, ie. bubble lettering....how to maintain an even size and other ideas and guidance for creative lettering.
• 5/5 from Christine East, attended Mar 2026: The lovely craft pack arrived Wednesday. We started and finished on time. Gina talked us through her demonstration and we were allowed questions. I look forward to the video and continuing a new craft.
• 5/5 from Amanda Franklin-Brown, attended Mar 2026: The tutor was clear and concise and gave easy to follow instructions - would recommend - excellent value and all the equipent needed arrived in good time and was of good quality
• 5/5 from Lesley Taft-Morris, attended Mar 2026: Learnt a lot and the teacher gave advice for both left and right handed people. I’m left handed. She was very knowledgeable and explained everything clearly. I really enjoyed the class.
• 5/5 from Terri Wisbey, attended Mar 2026: Such a great workshop! The instructor was wonderful—very knowledgeable and patient. Everything was explained clearly and the atmosphere was very supportive.
• 4/5 from Jill Levi, attended Mar 2026: Very good, clear instructions. The time went quickly and it was an enjoyable class. Need to learn lots more. Feel I struggled to start with as I’m left-handed. Originally booked on to the left-handers calligraphy but it is now disappointingly discontinued.
• 3/5 from Abi, attended Mar 2026: The course was ok and I learnt how to hold the pen for different strokes which was good. However most of the course was tracing the templates. The resources pack was good however 2 of my pens were dry.
• 3/5 from Sarah Oliver, attended Mar 2026: It felt very quick. I would have found it useful to have some time to practice the last page of the templates, with the opportunity to practice joining letters.
• 4/5 from Anonymised ClassBento customer, attended Feb 2026: The class itself was fine - we were taught how to create several of the letters in upper and lower case and how to join the letters was discussed. The kit was very disappointing on this occasion which is why i have deducted a star. I was sent completely the wrong pen set to the one advertised - customer services eventually put this right by sending me the correct one just in time but I then discovered in the class I didn't have all of the templates sent over. The host kindly emailed them over after the class. I would have liked to have explored using the last template with different styles on as part of the class.
• 3/5 from Lynn Russell, attended Feb 2026: This class was ok, however, I was expecting a lot more information about calligraphy. I feel I could have completed the exercises just by following the pictures. The instructor was very clear and precise with her instructions.
