Michaela Fishwick reviewed: Glass fusing - kiln carving and inclusions

"Learned so much today in the glass fusing and carving course at this wonderful location. Shirley gave us loads of materials and tools to play with, there were some incredible results, I had no idea how versatile glass artwork can be. Came away with a new passion! Will definitely be back."

Brian Burden reviewed: Coptic stitch handmade sketchbook

"Although I had made a few simple folded and single signature books I had never made a Coptic stitch book before. Janina took us through the process step by step, as well as providing one to one assistance where needed. Like many craft projects, the process takes practice and there are lots of tips and tricks which were passed on too. An enjoyable day and I feel sure there will be other courses that pull me back."

Micklems Farm Creative Workshops responded:

"Thank you Brian - hope we see you again soon! Rosemary"

Ailsa Medd reviewed: Precious metal clay jewellery

"All together, I would highly recommend this course. It is suitable for complete novices as well as those with some experience. Rosemary's teaching was informative and well structured; it didn't overwhelm or intimidate but was very helpful. I liked the way techniques were explained in stages, with opportunities to try new skills. The work areas were also spacious and thoughtfully organised for each person. The whole atmosphere was welcoming and friendly and everyone came away with a finished product that they were pleased with. The refreshments were also a nice touch! I would highly recommend this course."

Micklems Farm Creative Workshops responded:

"Thank you for your comments Ailsa."

Katie reviewed: Coptic stitch handmade sketchbook

"I loved this workshop! It was a great way to spend the day. The surroundings were lovely and the Micklems Farm team were so friendly and welcoming. Our tutor was extremely good and very thorough in showing us some of the more complicated steps doing coptic stitch binding. I feel that I've learnt so much more about bookbinding. It's greatly added to my knowledge."

"Thank you for your review - hope to see you here again."
