"Very interesting and helpful. Learned all the basics I wanted to know about creating soap, body butter, etc. Now I feel prepared and motivated to create and experiment. As last time, very fun and therapeutic! :)"

"Great basic overview of tools and techniques. Removed the fear factor from introducing metal to fast turning wood!! Mark's easy and attentive style set the scene for a highly instructive, informative and entertaining day. Highly recommended."

Josie Bartlett reviewed: Silver Jewellery making class at Sandra Kerns Jewellery studio, Little Sampford

"I was privileged to be one of Sandra's first students. The day covered a lot of information which Sandra has obviously put a lot of thought, time and effort into learning in order to pass this on. But it wasn’t just about the new knowledge I gained. The main benefits came from actually creating a piece, receiving individual feedback and interacting with Sandra about ideas and techniques. This day gave me a much firmer appreciation of the jewellery making process, especially when Sandra was thrilled when I finally broke a saw blade. (Apparently this is very common). I made some lovely pieces that day which a friend wore for her wedding. I would highly recommend this course. Sandra is a great teacher a wonderful mentor, but ultimately a superb silversmith!"

John Whiting reviewed: Wood turning courses

"Thanks for last Tuesday. Your teaching style must be totally unique you have the ability to put your point across so easily. You make learning fun and the time flew by. The end product (my lovely bowl) surprised me with how professional it looked I don't think I could have managed this without your help and humour. Many thanks George John Whiting"

nan whorwood reviewed: Pottery 6 Week Classes

"I was looking for a course to provide me with a few skills and some time to 'play with clay' and I am really enjoying my weekly visits. I have only been going for a month but Joan provides a great calming atmosphere - she has incredible patience and her friendly approach has really allowed me to learn. I am a total beginner and found Joan by chance and I could not recommend her enough. She gives you tips to improve but allows you to take the direction you want - I am now moving on from my pot and bowl but have not used the wheel yet! I have been inspired by her work and also the people I have met through the course. A great relaxing way to spend an evening."

Colette Galvin reviewed: Pottery 6 Week Classes

"What a delight! Three hours hard work (well it is now I'm retired), passed in the blink of an eye. Joan, the tutor, is clearly very experienced and very patient with a total novice! I'm not usually a big fan of mucky hands and "yes, Joan" I know my nails are a bit long but I can't wait for next week to see if my masterpiece is still intact. I would highly recommend this course which is growing in popularity."

Denise Liebermann reviewed: Realistic and Adorable Needle Felt Animals & Pets

"What a fantastic day! We were all spoilt rotten, beautiful environment, restaurant standard delicious lunch AND Sophie sharing so many of her amazing needle felting skills with us. We were a small group so had plenty of one to one attention on the day, whatever level you're at I absolutely recommend Sophie's workshops, I'm slightly addicted!!"

Allan and Wendy Shale reviewed: Wood turning tuition, New Forest, Hampshire (1 day, 1 person)

"This was a birthday gift for my husband, but we both ended up thoroughly enjoying ourselves and were very proud with the bowls we took home. Graham was really friendly and helpful providing excellent instructions without feeling rushed. looks like my husband may now have found a new hobby! Graham and his wife Chris made excellent hosts and we also enjoyed the tour of the garden and seeing the hedghogs. Thoroughly recommended... 4/9/17"

Pam Ward reviewed: Upholstery classes at Sandra Fryer's Workshops

"I can thoroughly recommend Sandra's upholstery and lampshade classes: I was a complete novice at both, but her gentle yet perfectionist manner of teaching, attention to detail, and endless encouragement helped me to achieve not only four dining chairs that I am really proud of, but also several lampshades of varying styles and sizes. The small-sized classes helped to create a real sense of camaraderie and support between us all, and they were also great fun (not forgetting the coffee and cake)! Sandra will be sorely missed in the northern Highlands: I wish her well and would strongly recommend her classes to anyone wishing to re-vamp their furniture or lamps."

Matthew Keeler reviewed: A relaxing day of clay making

"Another fantastic day at Trisha Crocker's studio! This was my third time on her course and I will be going again and again and again. A great day out learning something new each time in friendly, relaxed and beautiful surroundings. Trisha is a great teacher and inspires you to create. I can not recommend her highly enough. Good coffee and food too."
