Glyn reviewed: Cyanotype Prints - the fundamentals and more ...

"A brilliant hands-on day for a beginner! Judy is extremely knowledgeable and made sure we had every opportunity to experience as much cyano typing technique as possible. A really fun packed day full of information, full of hands-on, full of enjoyment with material to take home and precious experience gained from Judy. I thoroughly recommend the course if you can get on it! Judy is a genial and knowledgeable host who makes me very welcome and explains things in detail whilst not assuming any knowledge on your own part. I can thoroughly recommend her as a trainer and she makes great flapjacks."

Vince reviewed: Cyanotype Prints - the fundamentals and more ...

"Very enjoyable day course, well supported by knowledgeable and encouraging tutor. I learnt the basics and Judy provided a takeaway pack with pre prepared papers which means we can put into practice what we learnt without investing in chemicals. I produced a variety of prints, some more successful than others. Day ended by producing a wet cyanotype print which was a fun, creative way to end the day."

Haile Reed reviewed: Ecodyeing - a full day introduction to leaves, rust, heat and fabric alchemy!

" We had a wonderful day learning the foundations of botanical printing on various fabrics using felt, silk noil, paper, and silk to start our botanical printing projects. Judy's knowledge and eagerness to share is inspiring, and she ensures you leave the course feeling confident to create independently. The course is packed with information and fantastic value for money. Creating beautiful botanical silk scarves and printing on felt, silk noils, and paper, all of which you can take home for gifting, wearing, designing and crafting, was inspiring. I am excited to begin experimenting with these techniques at home. Thank you, Judy!"

"Haile, thankyou, everyones results were great weren't they? I am so pleased you enjoyed your day and look forward to seeing you again for more techniques. Judy "

Jo reviewed: Ecodyeing - a full day introduction to leaves, rust, heat and fabric alchemy!

"I really enjoyed my day with Judy which resulted in me taking home 2 long silk scarves and other items all uniquely printed with leaves and flora gathered from Judy's extensive garden and some bought from my own. Judy was a encyclopaedia of information which is followed up by reams of written notes sent after the workshop. Judy guided us through experimenting with different materials and products which gave a variety of results - all glorious! I've never tried this art before and just love the alchemy. I thoroughly recommend this workshop. Thank you Judy xxx"

"Thanks Jo. I’m delighted that you enjoyed the day, and you produced beautiful fabrics and papers. I know you will continue - and would love to see what you achieve! Judy "
