Rebecca reviewed: Yotsume Toji - Japanese Stab Book Binding

"I spent a lovely afternoon with a small group of ladies stab book binding. The teacher is friendly and welcomed us with tea and coffee. The studio is small but perfect for our craft. This was my second course I have done with the Little Craftery and I will definitely book again. "

"Me and my friend, Lydia, had a lovely time learning a new skill! Wendy is kind and patient (and makes a lovely cup of coffee!). We have come away equipped to make lots of stars as well as ideas for using them at Christmas time. It’s a lovely space to work in being surrounded by completed craftwork in a bright and airy space. The time flew by and we will book another course when my friend next comes to stay. Thank you Wendy 😊"

Diane reviewed: Paper Making - Hand Made Recycled Paper

"This class was wonderful, great fun and very satisfying. There were plenty of different "ingredients" to experiment with, and Wendy gave us lots of additional tips and information to achieve the best results. Coming away with the finished papers, frame and instructions, together with lots of ideas from Wendy and the other ladies, means I will certainly be doing more of this at home. "

Jenny reviewed: Paper Making - Hand Made Recycled Paper

"A lovely way to spend a Birthday morning! Wendy guided us through the essentials of making paper, step by step, in a relaxed and unhurried way. Delighted to leave with three pieces of my very own paper! And loads of ideas for trying this relatively inexpensive craft at home. The helpful booklet given at the end of the course is really useful for reminding you of the steps and useful tips. Would thoroughly recommend this course!"

Naomi reviewed: Paper Making - Hand Made Recycled Paper

"My husband and I had a great time on Wendy's paper-making course to celebrate our first wedding anniversary. We thoroughly enjoyed it. Wendy had everything so well organised, and she explained really clearly how to do each step, along with demonstrating it for us before we then had a go. We came away with some lovely pieces of handmade paper, and we plan to make some more here at home! "

"My daughter and I had a great time with Wendy learning to make paper. The course was very well organised; all the equipment was laid out ready for us and Wendy was very good at explaining what we needed to do and offering lots of instruction on the different ways we could achieve different effects. She was also very patient and friendly. It was a great way to spend a morning and we are both looking forward to doing our next course. Thank you Wendy."

"We had a great time with Wendy learning how to make paper. She was very friendly and informative and made us feel very welcome in the space. There were loads of great options in terms of what we could include and it was really enjoyable. Great that we could take home the mould and deckle so we can carry on making at home"
