The venue was easy to find and in an excellent location. There was coffee refreshment in the room and plenty of dining choices of lunch in the centre. The quality of the teaching was superb - Jem is a patient and explained everything clearly. All materials and tools were provided and I appreciated that I was able to complete projects at my own pace too.
I have wanted to learn this technique for a long time and delighted to have not only mastered the techniques but taken away lots of inspiration for future projects.
