Jacquie Biddlecombe reviewed: Block printed Lampshades

"This course is a lovely way to learn how to create and then use print stamps onto a variety of fabrics. Cutting lino stamps and then learning to place them on gift tags, wrapping paper, tea towels and items of your choice. Liz and Als are both excellent at helping and guiding you through the different projects so that you get the most from your day. The venue is beautiful and the countryside helps to inspire you along with homemade cake and mugs of tea. Give it a try, you will not be disappointed."

Liz Bullock reviewed: Beautiful Batik

"A lovely day in a fabulous setting; a thatched barn beats a church or village hall hands down. Having some experience with the Batik process was an advantage, but Alison had so much more to teach us. She was patient and supportive, allowing us time to play and think through our ideas, but never far away when a bit more information and advice was needed. Alison also had some fabulous examples of her Batik work to inspire us, from when she was designing for fashion and children’s wear - somehow I don’t think I will ever create work to such a standard, but I spent a really enjoyable day trying too. Thanks again. Liz"

Shelly Olson reviewed: Developing Small Wire Sculptures in Hampshire.

"I had a very good day! Alison and Liz are lovely helpful people, the barn and surroundings we worked in were lovely. I didn't expect to do drawing as I never have before, but with encouragement I didn't do too bad. The wire structures were smaller than I expected but I made a duck and a swan, then started on a dog, and I was given the rest of materials to take home to finish. I highly recommend Alison and Liz and this course."

"Dear Shelly, Thank you very much for your review, really pleased you enjoyed the day . Best wishes Alison and Liz"
