Samantha Campbell • Nov 2023
Fantastic class great tutor what a wonderful way to spend an hour would highly recommend the Drawing with Pen and Ink
Louise Williams • Nov 2023
What a well organised and well run workshop. There were seven of us on the workshop which was held online and we had the choice of camera on or off and mute when needed. The quality of the materials sent in advance was excellent and Chrissie explained how to use the die cutting machine and the craft materials sent. Her pace was just right - given the varied experience in the group - delivered with humour and passion and great hints and tips given. Photos of the card(s) made / feasible were also shared for future reference. An excellent workshop which I thoroughly enjoyed.

I thoroughly enjoyed my pet portrait workshop, Millie and Louise were great tutors, knowledgeable, friendly and gave lots of helpful tips. I really appreciated the videos that came with the lessons which I watched after each lesson. Happy to recommend to friends and family.
Clare Kiefer • Nov 2023
This was a really lovely class. We didn't get any instructions, but the artisan was really clear and did email them afterwards. However i do struggle to follow a crochet pattern as only a beginner
Miss Sharon E Button • Nov 2023
Lovely experience. It was my first time doing a zoom class, and making a wreath. I'm proud of my finished product.
Andrea Gavin • Nov 2023
Such a wonderful workshop- a fab introduction to the pens and great support from Rachel to help us make such pretty decorations!
Still got more to do to these designs, will come back to them once they've had a chance to dry!
Joanna Cater • Nov 2023
Learn how to crochet online course was fun and a great first lesson. The course went really quickly for an hour and a half. I have since brought a beginners book to further my knowledge.
Penny Caselberg • Nov 2023
Chrissie was a great coach. Really enjoyed the class and like she said, I love getting the kit beforehand as it’s like a little present as well as super handy to have everything you need to give it a go.
Lyn Pugsley • Nov 2023
Really enjoyed the workshop, thank you.
Please can there be more like this maybe a snowflake, Holly with berries, snowman etc.
Steve Thompson • Nov 2023
Another good course to get going quickly with a watercolour painting. I enjoyed doing this seascape and was very pleased with how it turned out for a first attempt at the subject and for what is only the second watercolour painting I've done. The first was on the landscape workshop.
Steve • Nov 2023
Good course with which to get a quick start on watercolour painting. Not something I've ever done it before but I was pleased with the end result. Well done Millie for demonstrating how to go about it.
Judith Swaddling • Nov 2023
Enjoyed this session. Friendly, cheerful tutor, gave a number of useful tips Very reasonably priced especially as you don't have to buy the kit. . I tend to do my own thing but it does make me sit down and paint which I wouldn't otherwise get round to! Always interesting to see everyone else's, too.
Susan Lewis • Nov 2023
Really enjoyed this. Product of a good quality and fun to do. Will do another.
Claire Gryspeerdt • Nov 2023
Good class, lots of materials, would have preferred more ribbon in the kit though. Class was rushed a little but that could have been nerves.

I joined with my 15 year old niece and 9 year old son and we really enjoyed the class. It is a class for all ages. Millie was a great teacher and showed us how easy it was to paint a lovely seascape. We are looking forward to booking more classes.
Helen • Nov 2023
Enjoyable workshop though it takes longer to make the calendar than the workshop allows so could be extended perhaps another 30mins to an hour to either suggest ideas to customise the calendar or to give time to finish. Having read other reviews I allowed myself another hour after the workshop to finish it though I might modify it further another day. Just need to fill it now!
Julie Green • Nov 2023
Lovely way to spend my Sunday. First time trying quilling and loved it. Hannah was great and showed us the shapes we needed to complete all 3 decorations. We finished a Christmas present and will receive a video to complete the rest. Great class. Definitely recommend.
Sandra Grears • Nov 2023
Millie was so knowledgable and helpful! I’m a beginner and feel like she was brilliant at explaining the tools and techniques
Jane • Nov 2023
Great introduction to pyrography. Good pace and nicely explained. Would have been really useful if the instructor had multiple wood burning tools to demonstrate the different heads that were provided.
Rebecca Cole • Nov 2023
Excellent and informative class. I've done wreath classes before, but still learnt new things. The teacher was very patient and helpful. Thank you. Very happy with the end result.
Amanda • Nov 2023
Was a little disappointed with how much was in the box on opening. I've done a few workshops before and had some spares to make more.
Enough in the box to make a traditional wreath, as described.
For me, I'll be adding a few more bits.
Deborah • Nov 2023
I enjoyed making the wreath. As another person explained the glue gun was optional, but it is needed for the berries and ribbon. I also found my scissors left too much wire exposed so wire cutters would be better. Not looking too bad as unglued. Host paced/explained well and gave good tips.
Yvonne • Nov 2023
I loved making this Christmas wreath and it has definitely got me feeling festive! The kit was great and had everything needed to make the wreath although I would recommend getting wire cutters rather than scissors as it will make things much easier. Holly went through everything at just the right pace to complete the wreath during the class and I was very happy with my completed wreath.
Kerry Carter • Nov 2023
Really enjoyed the class, well stocked box of materials and good instruction. Will definitely do more.
Jennifer Ryan • Nov 2023
Irene led an excellent workshop, it was reasonably paced, with good advice and tips. I’m very pleased with my wreath
Barbara • Nov 2023
I'm a newbie at art so it looked really difficult but Holly explained it really well and so it was good fun. The kit they send is fantastic and is wrapped very well. Even the box can be used to make a Christmas Tree - what a lovely idea! I can't wait to use my new knowledge to try out the other attachments decorating all the tags.
Vicki • Nov 2023
Perfect for my first ever crafting workshop. Gisela was a perfect teacher, explained everything in very simple terms and was obviously very passionate about her art.
I think I may now be hooked on macrame
Ann James • Nov 2023
Firstly, thank you for delivering a first rate, well-planned course. Your specialists are knowledgeable , and set just the right tone for relaxed learning. And the box of materials was so nice to receive and use. I feel i have learnt so much that i can use and adapt. I think this course is a great experience, and good value for money. I will be looking out for more courses in the new year. You learn so much by being guided through projects in Design Space. 100% recommend.
Lucy • Nov 2023
Great fun and the teacher was super patient with all our questions and challenges! Excellent start to my crotchet journey
Anne Price • Nov 2023
Loved it - Tutor was clear as she spoke and easy to follow. I didn’t try to keep up but watched and finished my wreath afterwards. Thank you
Judith Jenkins • Nov 2023
Kit arrived in plenty of time. Class was easy to access online. Tutor was pleasant and gave plenty of good tips. The class worked at a good pace - not too fast.
Valeria Ciamaroni • Nov 2023
Easy to follow, Holly is lovely and clear, not huge class, love the final result
Mrs Jill Tompkins • Nov 2023
First time I've ever attended an online craft course like this and I absolutely loved it.
Kathryn was brilliant spoke clearly and not too quickly so really easy to follow. I've booked up for quilling next month and I'm really looking forward to even more now after this morning.
You can see I made a start during the workshop, bit slow but i'm sure I'll speed and got ideas for other words and shapes.
Thank you
Melanie McGuckin • Nov 2023
She was so knowledgeable and easy going with the designing your own. Very calm and helpful
Emma Saunders • Nov 2023
This was a great little workshop, perfect introduction to working with resin.
The tutor was lovely and very knowledgable. She delivered the instructions at a good pace and explained everything clearly.
The materials arrived in the post in good time for class. These were well packed and more than enough for the workshop.
A thoroughly enjoyable experience and I will definitely do another class and more resin projects.
Thank you.
Helen • Nov 2023
Absolutely great lesson! Our teacher was really clear and informative. She worked at a good pace which was easy to follow. Gave us lots of opportunities to ask questions. Feel confident to have another try by myself!
Nicola Burton • Nov 2023
I really enjoyed these classes and thought the teacher explained everything clearly. It was good to learn different techniques each week.
Mary Evelyn Miles • Nov 2023
It was the first time I have tried to do this craft. I found it fun but very hard to do, and using a rubber was very helpful. I finished this off the next day and would recommend this class a 100%. Thank you.
Laura Stronge • Nov 2023
I absolutely loved this course, Chrissie was incredibly enthusiastic and knowledgeable giving us loads of examples of where we could use French knitting. She was patient while teaching and happily repeating things to make sure everyone knew what they were doing. She even provided a video that we could refer back to as well as her email address just in case we had any questions in the future. I would definitely recommend this course and Chrissie.
Julie Green • Nov 2023
Challenging class as never made this type of wreath before. Needed some practise using the wire. Paula showed us all the techniques we needed to complete our star and also sent a video of the class. I completed my wreath the next day and am thrilled with it! Totally worth the effort. Thank you Paula xxx
Jennifer Wick • Nov 2023
Really enjoyed the course and learning all of the shapes. I have so many ideas now to try out!
Carol Anne Warren • Nov 2023
3 classes to draw a portrait of a puppy. The technique Rugilee used are easy to follow and because it's over 3 sessions you take a layer at a time. Everytime I went back to it, I could see an improving image finishing with shadows and texture. We'll done Rugilee for your easy approach and patience!

The tutor was very carm and relaxed made me feel at ease, her explanation of things is what kept me from panicking as I've never drew before with the encouragement I've achieved something im proud of
Elizabeth Tennant • Nov 2023
Explained everything really well and really enjoyed the class. Made so much more sense than a you tube video
Ann Blake • Nov 2023
Excellent class - really enjoyed the course and would love to do more
watercolor classes if possible
Freya Shacklock • Nov 2023
Really enjoyed this class. Artisan was clear in her instructions. Made some lovely pieces. Thank you
Sarah • Nov 2023
Thank you for an enjoyable pyrography class. I have done bits of pyrography before. I have picked up a few tips. And now have a better pyrography tool. Would recommend this class. Thank you again.
Sharon Cope • Nov 2023
I really liked the class and it was explained really well. Very easy to see what was being done.
