Liz reviewed: Introduction to Lino Printing in Cambridgeshire

"I went along to this Lino printing course with a friend and we had such a lovely day. Judith is so warm and welcoming and provided everything we needed for the printing, plus coffee and cakes! The teaching was great for beginner level and not particularly crafty people like myself and for more crafty folk. Judith explained and demonstrated the techniques clearly and the group produced some amazing prints! It was really fun and nice to take some time out and focus on something different for a day and to meet new people. I really didn’t think I’d be able to produce much, but I was surprised at what I was able to achieve. I would highly recommend this course to anyone who would like to try lino printing."

"A thoroughly enjoyable day! Judith is both a fantastic teacher and a host. She was organised and welcoming and struck the right balance of providing reference and ideas whilst giving us ample working time. She was very helpful with advise and also acted as our technician. The work space was light and clean and overlooked her lovely garden. COVID safety measures were in place also. All the equipment was supplied … as well as beverages and home made cakes! Yum!!! It was a nice, relaxing, friendly atmosphere and it was great meeting with the other students. We all came came away with some amazing prints and with the intention of carrying on in the future."

"What a wonderful way to spend a day. I had always wanted to try screen printing and Judith is an inspirational teacher. The teaching space was bright and airy, we had plenty of room and plenty of materials to play with. Judith explained everything in a really helpful way and we had great fun, trying out techniques and making lots of amazing patterns and pictures. We were all inspired to just 'have a go' and the results were amazing. I was glad I took my apron as it turns out I'm a very messy screen printer! Oh and the tea and biscuits were plentiful and tasty too. If you want to spend a fun day, forgetting the cares of the world and basically playing, then I can't recommend this highly enough. Thank you so much Judith."

"I attended this course with my Mum and would thoroughly recommend it to anyone who enjoys learning something new. We were both beginners but Judith put us at ease and welcomed us into her home. She taught everything with patience and kindness, providing guidance and support where needed. We both came away with prints we were very proud of and have gained the confidence to have a go at home too. A fun, relaxed day with super outcomes for all."

"Attended my first course with Judith yesterday. I had received a starter kit for Christmas and needed some hands on support. Had a fab day, lovely light workroom, excellent instructions and equipment and she even washes our kit as we go along! I will be back for more x"

"What a fabulous day with Judith in her lovely home. Felt very comfortable with her Covid protocols. Having never tried Lino cut printing, my expectations for the day were quite modest but these were well & truly exceeded and I came away with about a dozen different variations of a two colour beach hut. Judith was a fantastic tutor- the right balance of demonstrating and then letting me ‘get on with it’. Would highly recommend the day & would love to return in future."

Helen B reviewed: Introduction to Lino Printing in Cambridgeshire

"I really enjoyed this lino printing class, Judith is a wonderful teacher. The workspace was beautiful and it was so nice to spend a day creating with like-minded people. The banana cake and coffee were great too. I was really pleased with the prints that I took home and hope to do some more lino printing in the future."

Su’ Thompson reviewed: Introduction to Lino Printing in Cambridgeshire

"This full day Lino cutting course with Judith was excellent. The venue is welcoming, peaceful and has plenty of light. Judith is a great teacher. She let’s you get on at your own speed after the basics are introduced but she is always on hand to assist. She pays full attention to the safe use of the cutting tools. Both of us on the course had brought images we wanted to have a go at but Judith could provide images if needed. It was also lovely to see Judith’s work. Refreshments were just right. All in all a relaxing day of learning and messy play."

Simon Danischewsky reviewed: Introduction to Lino Printing in Cambridgeshire

"Judith was very welcoming and attentive to the relevant 'precautions' needed in current circumstances... Both Alison and myself found the course informative and a great introduction into printmaking which we intend to pursue. The provision of equipment and materials was really good and we were both able to produce multiple examples work which we are very pleased with. We both would recommend this workshop as being very much "fit for purpose" and enervating...thank you and oh yes...the coffee and biscuits...and cake...mmmm"

Josie reviewed: Introduction to Lino Printing in Cambridgeshire

"A super workshop day. Judith made everyone feel completely at ease, and showed us a plethora of different styles and examples to guide us. She was clear and helped all of us individually at our own pace. I learned a huge amount and have already invested in some kit to have a go at home on my own. I was delighted with my end product and felt like I learned a lot."

Gemma reviewed: Introduction to Silkscreen Printing in Cambridgeshire

"I had the best day with Judith learning about screenprinting. It is a skill I've always wanted to learn and the day was fun and very creative. We were very experimental and i was encouraged to try different things and print onto different mediums. I recommend this course to anyone who wants to try something new or even home in on your skills and learn more about the craft. Judith is really knowledgable and will definitely inspire you to get creative."

Kathryn Salmond reviewed: Introduction to Lino Printing in Cambridgeshire

"I had not done any Lino printing since secondary school and so was really excited to learn about it again and have a go. Judith made the whole process so enjoyable; she guided me through each step of the process and was so friendly and kind. The art/craft space was also incredibly beautiful and well organized. The whole experience was fun, engaging and rather therapeutic! I now have some beautiful prints to display (and book recommendations to read!). I would definitely recommend this to anyone wanting to give Lino printing a go! Thank you so much Judith!"

Jan Minter reviewed: Introduction to Lino Printing in Cambridgeshire

"I did the course with a friend. I had not done lino cutting before. Judith made us feel comfortable and confident with our chosen design ideas. She helped when needed but let us experiment and offered help as required. We were both very pleased with our prints and will continue to make more at home."

Sarah Hawker reviewed: Introduction to Silkscreen Printing in Cambridgeshire

"My daughter and I spent a lovely day with Judith on her screen printing course. I had done some screen printing many years ago and I very much enjoyed trying it again. Judith paced the day well, introducing us to various techniques and offering help and advice when needed. As there were only three students we all felt we had had a very worthwhile experience. Judith inspired us with examples of her beautiful work and I came away wanting to do more at home. Lovely coffee and cake as well! Thanks, Judith!"

"Hi Sarah, thank you very much for your review. It was a great pleasure to have you and Anna here for the day, and I hope you get chance to continue to turn your beautiful illustrations into prints. With very best wishes Judith"

Anna Forrest reviewed: Introduction to Silkscreen Printing in Cambridgeshire

"What could be better than spending a day learning how to screen print in the beautiful surroundings of Judith’s home and garden? There were 3 of us - an ideal size - and we got started straight away with trying out various techniques. Judith encouraged everyone to jump straight in and mix colours, try different backgrounds and experiment with different ways of cutting stencils and silhouettes, showing us lots of inspiring work of her own and from past students. After lunch in the lovely garden we began layering up techniques to create a small print run of a piece of art we could be proud of. Trial and error was absolutely encouraged and we all came away with lovely things. I’d absolutely recommend this as a really great way to spend a creative day."

"Hi Anna, thank you very much for your review. It was such a pleasure to have you and your mum here for the day. I am very excited to see your future prints! With best wishes Judith"

Maggie Lighten reviewed: Introduction to Lino Printing in Cambridgeshire

"It was third time lucky for me, but well worth the wait. Everything throughout the day was thought out and planned to suit everyone on the course. Judith was very encouraging and helpful at each step of the way. The workspace was light and airy with Covid precautions adhered to. I came away having learnt a lot and achieved more than expectations. I took home plenty of prints and enthusiasm to do more. Judith was a brilliant host, plenty of drinks and biscuits throughout the day and cake before leaving. I would definitely recommend this course to anyone, no previous experience needed. You'll come away with plenty of prints to be proud of."

Sue and Sally reviewed: Introduction to Lino Printing in Cambridgeshire

"This was a birthday treat and what a lovely way to spend a wet Saturday getting so creative and managing to produce a good selection of coloured prints. Judith was everything you would wish for as she was an excellent teacher and encouraging us all the way through the process, in her kind and friendly manner. Like me, don't worry if you cannot draw as you will leave with something handmade and unique to you. The studio had a lovely atmosphere and all covid regulations were adhered to."

"Dear Sue and Sally, Thank you very much for taking the time to write your lovely, positive review; very much appreciated. It was a pleasure to spend the day with you both. All the best, Judith x"

Jane Whiteman-Turl reviewed: Introduction to Lino Printing in Cambridgeshire

"Despite having to wait a year or so to actually attend the course (Covid not Judith!!) I am so glad I finally made it. Judith was extremely well organised and considerate of the regulations and how we interacted during the day. The course content was great - Judith challenged each of us to do the maximum we could in a day. Everyone left with a massive selection of prints - me included. Judith encouraged me to do more than I thought I was capable of and I have come away eager to try it again. If you have even a tiny thought that you want to give it a go I encourage you book up and experience a day where you can expand your own known universe.... Judith was a patient and supportive teacher and nothing is too much trouble and to cap it all there was endless tea and biscuits and a final reward of cake...."
