"Sarah was very welcoming and her lifetime of experience made her the perfect teacher. I was delighted with my lampshade and can't wait to make a matching one. I've already looked to see which course to book next. I would highly recommend doing any of Sarah's courses, you won't be disappointed. "

David Woodhouse reviewed: Bring Your Own Upholstery Project - Saturday Workshop

"I had the most fabulous day learning the basics of upholstery with the wonderful Sarah who welcomed me into part of her home. This day was part of my birthday present bought for me by my wife and I can honestly say that the whole day was just perfect. Sarah is a brilliant teacher who demonstrated each part of the process in a comprehensive way to ensure that I had a complete understanding of what was required, she then let me try and replicate the process with gentle hints to assist me in getting the required result. At no point was I made to feel inadequate and I was delighted with my finished result and will definitely return for some more instruction but this time with my wife who is also keen to learn."

"I did the day course - Bring your own upholstery project. Sarah was friendly and helpful from the first interactions. It was a well structured introduction and Sarah was helpful before hand to choose the right furniture to bring and then ran a great day to learn the basics. I now have the techniques to complete my set of dining chairs."

"I have just done the upholstery workshop with my daughter. We had an excellent day learning how to strip down and reupholster drop in seat dining chairs that were much in need of tlc. Sarah was very welcoming, knowledgeable and encouraging. We had fun, learned new skills, came away with 2 upholstered chairs and the supplies and confidence to tackle the remaining chairs at home. "

"I’ve had a fabulous morning making a lampshade. Sarah guided us through every step with clear instructions and demonstrations. We worked at our own pace in a lovely workroom. We all left armed with lots of tips, knowledge and written instructions to enable us to make more and of course, a very professional handmade lampshade. Thank you Sarah "

"Sarah is an excellent tutor and gives practical and clear instructions to help you achieve a high-quality result, even if you are a beginner. The classes are very relaxed and fellow students are all supportive and interested in each other's projects. I’ve enjoyed four days so far and looking forward to more as I get more ambitious. "

"Absolutely loved doing this 5 day course and plan to continue with new projects. Sarah is a brilliant teacher, as well as practitioner. She gives clear instructions, demonstrating and modelling techniques and checks your work to ensure you produce a quality product. The classes are relaxed and everyone is very welcoming. Sarah makes a wicked rocky road too! "

Penny reviewed: Drum lampshade workshop - Saturdays

"What a great course! Lovely to come away with a bespoke lampshade. Sarah was very knowledgable and we got plenty of assistance and encouragement. A really good mixture of demonstration and explanation, to suit the needs of the group. It was definitely worth the journey from Derbyshire. Thank you. "

Elle Golding reviewed: Weekend Traditional Lampshade Making Workshop

"This is a very great workshop if you’re interested in learning how to make a traditional lampshade. I have completed my first ever shade and I couldn’t be more proud of how it turned out. Prior to the workshop, I had zero sewing skills and never used a sewing machine before. Sarah was so patient and kindly taught me how to do both. I was a new student in the class, the rest were returning students which was a good sign. It was such a very pleasant weekend. I learnt so much. Time went past so quickly. Now I’m looking forward to doing more classes with Sarah. I couldn’t recommend this class enough. If you’re looking for a traditional lampshade making class. This is the one."

Michelle reviewed: Bring Your Own Upholstery Project - Block of 5 days

"The classes are relaxed and Sarah is a very patient and an excellent teacher who explains techniques in different ways so that you can progress ie verbal, notes, photographs. I chose the 5 day course as I had 4 dining chairs which needed reupholstering. I thoroughly enjoyed the course and met some lovely people."
