- 5/5 from Euan Wilcox, attended Oct 2026: Great class, learnt a lot with lots of hands on help but also room to make mistakes and improve alone. Would recommend to all!
- 5/5 from Geraldine Mattis, attended Oct 2026: We made a trinket box frim scratch.
- 5/5 from Sharon Watkins, attended Mar 2026: This workshop provided both a challenge and enjoyment. Richard knows his stuff and encouraged us to question the processes. We made a carefully constructed box which I am proud of. Thank you
- 5/5 from James Turnbull, attended Dec 2025: This was such an amazing class. Richard is a complete natural as a teacher and guided everyone so well through the project. Also, he really adapted the session to include lots of interesting knowledge for our future learning. I would most definitely recommend any of his courses!
