Ken Bruin reviewed: Sculptural green wood working

"Stephen creates a wonderful atmosphere of group togetherness which produces a feeling of working as a team in a safe environment. Guidance, assistance and encouragement provided is there as and when required allowing scope for all involved to feel that they are contributing to a collective objective."

Greg reviewed: Intro to Green Woodwork

"Mike is a brilliant teacher with a vast amount of knowledge about how to make a piece of wood into a wonderful implement - he's also an expert in woodlands and trees which serves for great knowledge gathering - so - if you want to know about the entire life cycle of a tree of a particular type and then carve that piece of that tree into a useful utensil - there is no one more qualified. Would definitely recommend. He's a great bloke too."

Jo Asplin reviewed: Fused glass workshop - Plymouth

"If you've never tried it then you def need to have a go. Sheena is a very patient teacher and will help and encourage when needed. I've lost count how many workshops i've done with Sheena. My house is full of glass. I did my first one and was hooked. It's just 3 hours of pure relaxation doing something I enjoy with friends. ( We usually book as a group) So far i've done the stained glass , wind chime and lots of fusing workshops and would recommend them all. Jusf the mosaic to do next."

Nathaniel reviewed: Make and decorate a ceramic bowl in one session

"I had such a great day with Josie. I booked the session for my girlfriends birthday and it was fantastic. Josie made us feel right at home and was a great teacher. Very patient and encouraging Josie’s knowledge and expertise helped us to fashion something beyond our ambitious hopes. I would recommend this course to anyone. It’s inspired us to become more involved in ceramics, all thanks to Josie’s help and instruction. A perfect day experience"

Elizabeth reviewed: One day bangle/ring workshop

"My friend and I had a really lovely day with Jolene. Jolene is very friendly and an excellent teacher. I had never tried any of the techniques before, but successfully managed to make 3 bangles with her guidance, two copper in the morning, and a silver one in the afternoon. I came away feeling extremely proud of my achievements! There were only 4 of us in total on the course, so Jolene had time to assist everyone when she needed to. I would definitely recommend this course. Thank you Jolene for a great day! xx"

"Sheena’s Workshops are wonderful! I’ve attended three now; 2 fused glass, 1 stained glass and I have to say I’m hooked! Sheena’s relaxed and friendly environment makes you feel so welcome and makes the time you spend there such fun. Of course crafting with cake is absolutely lovely also. The resources and the fun you have creating is such a great value for money and I enjoy going back again and again."

Ian Banks reviewed: Introduction to Wood Carving for Kids - one day

"This course was booked for my 13 year old daughter who suffers a bit from lack of confidence and who finds embracing new challenges head on a little intimidating. She thoroughly enjoyed the course, which gave her new skill opportunities with achivable objectives suitable to her level of understanding and ability. Courses like this should be compulsory in every school curriculum."

"Well what can I say other than "I'm hooked". Sheena's workshops are brilliant and of course so is the tea and cake. I've tried glass fusion, jewellery, stained glass and am booked on many more including mosaic mirror making. You meet lovely people from all walks of life and Sheena is an inspiration irrespective of your artistic abilities. Thoroughly recommend you go to a class ( or 2 or more lol). See you soon Sheena Viv x"

Jackie Forbes reviewed: Wire & mixed media sculpture courses with James Ort

"I am just home from the most wonderful two day wire sculpting course with James. It was excellent. I loved the relaxed level of organisation which looked relaxed but was actually bang on. We were set up so fast and empowered and encouraged throughout the two days. James has a lovely coaching style of teaching and ensured we all got one to one time so we could leave feeling we really had achieved something special. I would have no hesitation in recommending this course and actually the studio as a whole - it's a fabulous venue"

Kelly reviewed: Leather Workshop One - on - One

"I travelled from Scotland to do 2 days one to one workshops with Sarah and can honestly say it was absolutely worth the journey. Sarah was patient and really open when teaching. I feel like I've learned loads of new skills that I'll use at home as well as making 3 beautiful bags over the 2 days. The workshop is situated in a beautiful area. I'd definitely like to do come back for another workshop and would highly recommend Sarah's workshops to anyone from a total beginner or like me who has dabbled a little bit with making bags but wants to improve and learn new skills."

Williams Handmade responded:

"Thank you Kelly, it was lovely to meet you, I hope to see you again at some point, Thanks Sarah"

Really pleased with the results, so much so I've booked up another course and even planned my holidays around the workshop as I no longer live in Plymouth. Well worth doing and great cakes as well!!!"

Diane Pollard reviewed: Mosaics for the home and garden

"I was very dubious in my own ability to start with, but Frances immediately put me at ease. With her expert tuition and guidance I learned to cut the glass tiles and put them together to make a beautiful mosaic which I will always treasure. I also found it a very mindful experience in a most tranquil and peaceful setting. I would thoroughly recommend the course to all and look forward to a bigger challenge next time!"

I had a lovely day surrounded by a friendly group all earnestly trying to complete their challenge."

Judie reviewed: Mosaic workshop at Jackie Nash Art

"Rose, Helen and I enjoyed a day in Jackie's wonderful workshop as a celebration of Rose's special birthday! At the beginning of the day, Jackie gave us an introduction to mosaics and helped us plan our designs. There was a huge choice of coloured tiles for the artwork and the equipment was good. Once we got 'stuck in', it was a relaxing way to spend a Monday. We took our own lunch and drink which Jackie served when we were ready. There were plenty of other drinks available. Thank you Jackie!"
