Fiona Kelly reviewed: 'Bring Your Own Project' Day - Upholstery

"As a complete novice, I wasn't sure what to expect, however Katie soon put me at ease and I had a lovely and productive day. I had taken a very simple dining chair and by the end of the day, and with a lot of help and guidance, it was completed. I was absolutely delighted with the result. Katie is very friendly and approachable and an excellent teacher and I look forward to coming back for a second experience. Very enjoyable day out!"
