"This is a course where I gained new skills on textile printing and lampshade making. If you want to learn from an expert, Moji is the one! Very experienced, talented, practical and it is really important that she will you talk you through the business side of things, and gives the best advice for you to get started on your craft business. I feel that I left this course full of knowledge, advice, guidance for my new journey on craft. Thank you so much, hope to see you again in the future! Best wishes, Eleni x "

Abderrachid el Ahmadi reviewed: One-to-one 3 day lampshade making masterclass including business startup guide for crafters

"Moji taught us the techniques of 2 complete different styles of lampshades within 3 days. With all her enthusiasm and patient skills she took us by the hand step by step. She really takes the time to explain well, in detail, and feels responsible that you will leave inspired, crafted and with beautiful handmade lampshades. She is able to multitask, provides lovely lunch in between and makes pictures of your personal activities. So that you have a reference afterwards. On top of this all she takes you through some basics of marketing to start your own business. We had a wonderful time, which varied from instruction to many laughs. These three wonderful days are well worth your money."

Moji Designs responded:

"Dear Rachid, Thank you so much for your kind and thoughtful words. I thouroughly enjoyed having you and yes indeed we had lots of fun and laughter. Thank you for being such an amazig student and also for my beautiful gifts you and Brunia brought for me from Amsterdam. I look forward to seeing your future lampshade projects alongside your beautiful upholstered pieces. Take care and happy making! With lots of love Moji x"

Valerie P. reviewed: One-to-one 5 day lampshade making masterclass with Moji Designs, including business startup guide for crafters

"I recently completed Moji's 5-Day course and added an extra day for good measure, and I can thoroughly recommend it to anyone who wants to get serious about lampshade making. Having made a few lampshade in the past I was hooked but I wanted someone to help me take it further and I was so glad to have found Moji. Moji is the perfect tutor. Her patience, professionalism and encouragement the whole way has given me the confidence to move forward with improving my skills and building my business. She shared her knowledge, not just of her craft but also business skills, with generosity and enthusiasm. Having travelled light, I didn't need to worry about anything like fabric, notebooks, lunches etc Moji thought of everything, and comprehensive notes were supplied at the end. Her studio space is so welcoming and the learning experience so relaxed. And did I mention lunches? They were delicious! I am so looking forward to returning again to learn textile printing!"

Moji Designs responded:

"Dear Valerie, Thank you so much for taking the time writing this great review! It was a pleasure having you at the studio and I am also looking forward to seeing you back again for a printing course. Take care and happy making! M x"
