Sue White reviewed: Hand decorated clayboard brooches / fridge magnets / keyrings play session

"I thoroughly enjoyed the Hand decorated clayboard brooches / fridge magnets / keyrings play session. It was a very relaxed & fun afternoon. Just the job to escape pre-Christmas preparations & play. Carrie was, as always, very welcoming, well organised, provided all materials (& an apron), demonstrated the necessary techniques & away we went. I came away with 4 fridge magnets I'm very pleased with. This is the 2nd workshop of Carrie's I've attended. I'll be back."

Crafts for Wellbeing responded:

"It was lovely to see you again, Sue, and I'm so pleased you enjoyed the afternoon. Thank you so much for taking the time to leave a review, I really appreciate it. Look forward to seeing you again soon!"
