MV reviewed: Guitar Strumstick Dulcimer 3 strings instrument

""Great experience, I really enjoyed the Strumstick Dulcimer course. With Ted's great work approach and expertise, I had transformed a wooden stick into a quality instrument. During the course you not only learn about woodworking and instrument making, but with Ted's wide range of general knowledge you also learn some facts as well as hear some fun stories. Thank you Ted! " "

S Morris reviewed: Glass Fusing Flowers and Under Sea Taster Session

"Fantastic course - we attended with 2 children (aged 8 and 10) and it was perfect for them as well as the adults. All the glass was pre-cut so just needed to use our own creativity to make the pieces. Glass was fired and returned to us quickly too and we are pleased with the results."

Sophia reviewed: Stained Glass using the Copper Foil Technique

"I had such a lovely time at this workshop. Elaine was knowledgable, encouraging and very open to our choices and tastes. She was welcoming with tea and biscuits and lots of chat, and spent so much time guiding and advising to make sure I left with something I was happy with (which I did!). Beautiful setting in Elaine’s gorgeously planted garden and made all the better by regular visits from her adorable little dogs. I had the BEST time, thank you Elaine! "

Rachel reviewed: Classic Mosaic day

"Really enjoyed doing this course, and went home with a lovely new (mosaic) cat. I learned plenty of new things, Laura is very generous with sharing her knowledge and experience. I have mosaic experience, so Laura was happy to let me get on with them bits I was happy to, but still always there for guidance if required."

Laura Barnes Crafty Fox Studios responded:

"Hi Rachel! So glad you chose my classic mosaic course.... and it was a pleasure to work with you. Love the cat mosaic, your work on the face was brilliant. All the very best with your pursuits to turn that spare room into a studio. Keep on with your skill building and even more confidence will follow. Laura. "

Paula reviewed: The Garden Plant Support

"I thoroughly enjoyed this course. Having already made one several years ago elsewhere, I wasn't initially sure I'd made the right decision, but Nikki and her husband were both so friendly and helpful throughout the session, and the whole process was explained to us prior to starting. It was really interesting to hear about the different processes the willow goes through to produce different colours, and lovely to have the opportunity to use all of the variations. They are both constantly on hand for help and guidance throughout the session, and I was so pleased with my finished obelisk. I've had several compliments from fellow allotmentiers and have decided to place it at the front of my plot for passers by to admire!"

J Linehan reviewed: SAORI Weaving Taster session

"I signed up for the two hour taster session and was slightly concerned this wouldn’t be long enough to really benefit. However, I was pleasantly surprised - I learned so much so quickly thanks to Amanda’s knowledge and great tuition skills and the ease of use of the loom! It was a thoroughly enjoyable two hours and I hope to sign up for a full day in the near future - it was so relaxing and I’d love to spend more time on this. "

"Thank you Janet for your kind review. I am so pleased you enjoyed the weaving and it was lovely spending time with you. Hope to see you back in the studio in the future!"

Thank you so much to Andy and Jo for being so welcoming, and supportive throughout the day. And we all loved creating our sitting hares. Jo was an incredible teacher. Taking us "step by step" and if you had any queries or wanted Jo to check, it was not a problem. Definitely recommend."

Tina reviewed: Spoon Carving Taster Session

"Loved the spoon carving taster session. Mike created a friendly atmosphere and explained all carving techniques really well and step by step. I liked that Mike talked a lot about the wood and why we needed to carve/treat it in the way he instructed us to. It was a nice mix of listening, learning and doing. I am definitely going to buy some carving tools as I want to carry on making spoons haha :D "

Jason Brooks reviewed: Mig Welding For Beginners Introductory Day Course.

"Great course absolutely loved it from start to finish. Tony’s one on one teaching was just what I needed being a complete novice. I worked at my own pace and could see my improvement throughout the day. I recommend Tony’s course to anyone looking to take up mig welding like me so I can do small repairs to equipment I use at my smallholding. Thanks you Tony for a great days training. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️"

Holly reviewed: Half day leather accessories workshop

" I recently took part in the half-day leather working craft course and had an absolutely fantastic time. The instructor, Vajira, was incredibly welcoming, friendly, and generous with her knowledge, which made the session both informative and enjoyable from start to finish. Over the course of the session, she guided me step-by-step through the process of creating a beautiful leather journal cover with a wrap. I learned how to cut leather, saddle stitch, and properly finish the piece – all with thorough explanation and demonstration. I left the session not only with a piece I’m proud of, but also with the confidence to continue leather working on my own. I highly recommend this course to anyone curious about leather craft – especially beginners! Thank you for the wonderful session, it was a pleasure to get to know and learn from you. "
