Heidi Tucker reviewed: Can't crochet, won't crochet?

"A lovely half day learning Crochet with Yvonne. I had some basic knowledge so she taught all I needed to know about different yarn, stitches and most importantly, where I was going wrong. Other people on the course were on different levels but this was handled very well by Yvonne and everyone could learn at their own pace. Thank you :))"

Joanne Jones reviewed: Copper Electroforming for jewellery - 2 day course in central London

"Hi All.. I have recently done the copper electro-forming course with Penny. I have been wanting to do it for some time and I finally found someone super talented to teach me. I did Pennys electro-forming 2 day course. I wanted to combine the course with my love of crystals which penny helped me with and she customised it to what I wanted to achieve. Penny is an amazing teacher and really recommend the course to anyone. No previous jewellery experience needed either :-). Penny has inspired me to start making jewellery with copper and crystals and I have began making a collection to sell on my instagram... Watch this space.. Thank you Penny x"

"I done this brilliant course with my sister and we had a great time. We felt very welcome and at ease. The Granary that the course was in was beautiful and Sue had laid out all the equipment and materials it just looks so professional and girly. I went to learn how to make my very own skincare products and I left with a lovely personal set of skincare and knowledge. I feel inspired and confident to make my own at home. Sue was informative and explained the benefits certain essential oil as well as answering all our questions. We drove an hour from Brighton although there were similar course in Brighton I would recommend this course for it beautiful presentation and cost.
