Tracie Coote reviewed: Bespoke candle making workshop - Edinburgh

"My husband bought me this as a gift for Christmas, as I love candles and think I have tried so many different makes. Kerrylyn was a great teacher, made me feel very welcome, and the setting in her lovely farmhouse kitchen was devine. She had great knowledge of candle making and a vast array of fragrance and essential oils that can be used in your candle making experience. I would definitely recommend this course and hope to return in October for the Christmas candle making workshop with my daughter."

Fiona patrick reviewed: Fabulous felt picture 2 day masterclass near York

"The course was fantastic! Bridget is lovely and very generous with her time and knowledge ensuring that I and the other ladies achieved amazing results. I was so engrossed for the two days that the time flew by although I did manage to finish my poppy picture. I'd always wanted to learn how to felt pictures and would highly recommend the courses Bridget runs. She is a very talented artist!"

"HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!!! What a wonderful way to spend a day, Jo's workshop was amazing.... her products and knowledge are second to none. The whole experience was relaxed and an utter delight.... I left with a huge stash of candles that i had made under Jo's guidance that look and smell fantastic.

Mark Webster reviewed: Woodcarving for beginners - two day course in Suffolk

"I recently attended Gerry’s 2 day course for beginners and can thoroughly recommend it for anyone who is thinking about having a go at wood carving. Gerry is clearly a talented master craftsman and teaches through a mix of demonstrating techniques to the class as well as giving practical support, guidance and encouraging feedback on a 1:1 basis. He creates a positive, relaxed environment for learning and has plenty of humorous anecdotes from his long carving career. The lunch, prepared by Gerry’s wife, (including wonderful homemade soup) and other refreshments were excellent. Overall a really enjoyable weekend of learning a new skill."

Charlton Rob reviewed: Introduction to green woodworking - make a stool or small table

"This was a really good day and such an excellent setting in the woods. The tutors were very good and able to impart plenty of knowledge and help. It was great fun making something by hand and using different tools. I would recommend this course to anyone and you are all capable of making something. My lovely stool will be very useful in my shepherds hut and just the thing. A great couple of days."

Sue Elderfield reviewed: A fabulous introduction to fused glass - one day course

"What a great day, it flew by , our group each designed and made 3 pieces, under the expert guidance and tuition given from Siobhan. I’d like to do another day to learn even more of the techniques."

Sam reviewed: Green woodworking at Coppicewood College

"An excellent course, highly recommended for all those interested in green wood working. I managed to make a wide variety of objects (a stool, potato mashers, a rolling pin, several spoons and half a bowl) over the four days and was ablely supported and enthused throughout by Nick, Dave and Claire. I made good use of the wide variety of pole lathes, shave horses and other devices throughout and had a vast array of tools to experiment with. To say I learned a great deal is an understatement. I partook in this as part of the 6 month woodland skills course also offered by Coppicewood College. If you're looking to gain experience in the whole range of coppicing skills and related crafts then I don't think there's a better course than this!"

Gill Reid-Walker reviewed: Needle felting workshop - Create your own woodland creature

"Thoroughly enjoyed my day, from beginning to end, and I adore my little felted Badger too. The venue and lunch (and the cake!) were excellent, but most of all Denise was so encouraging and patient, and has completely inspired me to do more needle felting, so I’m hoping to put my Crafty Gal Kit to good use soon. Thanks again ?"

Crafty Gal responded:

"I'm delighted you're delighted Gilly! It was a fun day and such a pleasure to help add yet another fantastic craft to your amazing repertoire! Happy crafting!"

Lynne Gilbert reviewed: Christmas Pudding - needle felting workshop with The Lady Moth

"The recent owl workshop was a lovely way to spend a Sunday afternoon. Although it was the third I have attended (and hopefully not the last!) there is always something new to learn. Zenia is a very talented artist and her work is really inspiring. She is a natural teacher, always striving to help us achieve good results. The sessions are friendly and relaxed and time just flies by. Try one - you won't be disappointed!"
