• 5/5 from Linda Dominguez, attended Jun 2026: This was an enjoyable way to spend a couple of hours.. St Martin in the Fields Crypt was peaceful and cool on an extremely hot day. So easy to get to by public transport. Vicky our teacher was welcoming and very knowledgeable about the subject. Gave an interesting talk about the history of brasses followed by useful tips for those of us that were first timers at this. You even get a glass of wine or gift drink thrown in as well as taking home your rubbing. Definitely a nice way to spend an early evening. We got there half hour early and enjoyed the Oasis park shade just behind the church before our lesson started. Would recommend this event
• 5/5 from Mira Vrcelj, attended Jun 2026: We had such a wonderful time at this brass rubbings class. Victoria started the session by telling us the history of the brass plaques - it was so interesting to start the session off like this. She then explained the process and particularly helpful was starting with white paper, then progressing to black paper. Victoria was so friendly and encouraging throughout - it was so clear that the whole group enjoyed the class. I had a fantastic time!
