Lydia reviewed: One day Traditional Lead Stained Glass Course

"Another amazing and enjoyable day, we didn’t want to leave… It didn’t take long for me to find an opportunity to return to take part in another of Cheryl’s wonderful classes, it is a joy to be taught by her. I can safely say I am addicted and have already ordered a soldering iron so that I can have a go at home! To come away with so many items was great and it means a few gifts for Christmas have been made. Thanks Cheryl."

Ken reviewed: One day Traditional Lead Stained Glass Course

"I booked the stained glass class as a birthday present for my girlfriend and, right from the start, Cheryl was inviting, accommodating, warm and friendly. Through her experience in working with stained glass, and this experience is displayed throughout her workshop, Cheryl was inspirational and encouraging throughout the designing and construction of a unique piece of art that my girlfriend and I will treasure forever. The greatest commendation I can give Cheryl is that I am definitely booking this experience again and will encourage friends to do so also.”"

"“Cheryl is a marvel. Her enthusiasm is contagious, and her encouragement in learning a new skill is second to none. Being able to come away with completed projects after just one days work is unique. And I can't wait to try working with glass at home when my soldering iron arrives.”"

Dingle reviewed: Full day introduction to glass fusing course.

"A very enjoyable day where I learned some good basics from being an absolute beginner, and also quickly ascertained where my interests and strengths and weaknesses would lie (very important IMO). Amanda is friendly and encouraging, the venue is really neat and lunch excellent. I was delighted and more impressed than I was expecting with the finished product that was sent on to me extremely quickly. Would definitely recommend to anyone wanting to dip their toe in the waters of the glass-fusing world."

Laura Cartledge reviewed: Beginners paper cutting session at MAKE, Portsmouth in Hampshire

"Couldn't have asked for more from this class! Aimee is a natural teacher and very welcoming, it felt more like we were meeting for a natter than a lesson - which took the nerves away and enabled us to learn more! The session should come with a warning however, there's a high chance you'll come away hooked to papercutting!"

Mike & Colin Keyworth reviewed: An introduction to wood turning with Gregory Moreton (2 Days)

"An extremely useful, interesting and informative 2 days spent with Greg. I had absolutely no experience of wood turning but by the end of the two days, I felt that I had learnt enough to enable me to progress with woodturning as a hobby. Although my son possesses a lathe and is already fairly skilled, he still benefitted hugely from the 2 days with Greg. A highly recommended course for any skill level. We will no doubt be returning in the future."

Clare reviewed: Beginners paper cutting session at MAKE, Portsmouth in Hampshire

"I was recommended this course by a friend who was aware I had a passion for crafts but had never done papercutting. I attended a beginner's workshop in June and haven't looked back. The sessions are great fun and a nice setting to learn in. Everything that is needed is provided and plenty of support and guidance is provided throughout. I have since attended two further workshops and have thoroughly enjoyed them. Aimee is very friendly and makes the session fun as well as being there to provide assistance if needed. Would highly recommend."
