"Lee was a fantastic instructor. Patient, informative and ensured you tried out your skills incrementally. The day passed so quickly and I would definitely do another class with her and recommend her "

Rachel reviewed: Upholstery classes in Norwich

"Lee is a great teacher - she passes on her skills patiently but involves you in the decisions about the process you understand not just what to do, but why. She is encouraging and kind, managing a room with everyone doing their own project - a proper plate-spinner. The atmosphere is calm, positive and friendly. Thank you."
