Lovely venue with good food, good company and good teaching What more could you ask for?"

Jonathan Rounce reviewed: Line & Wash ... 'Painting buildings in the Landscape' with John Harrison ...a Quirky Workshop at Greystoke Craft Garden and Barns

"My wife, Catherine, and I attended John Harrison’s wonderful workshop and thoroughly enjoyed the whole experience - the teaching, company, the catering & the fascinating location. As a pure pen & ink artist I had never dabbled with colour/wash and so was nervous, but John soon put me at my ease with his inspiring examples of bringing pen and ink to life with colour wash. His book too is a very useful reminder of how to perfect this wonderful art form. "

Quirky Workshops at Greystoke Craft Garden and Barns responded:

"Thank you Jonathan for this lovely review, we're so glad you both thoroughly enjoyed your day. We'll pass on your comments to John who no doubt will be delighted to hear how successful his teaching is in giving students of all abilities and experience such enjoyment in trying something new. It's lovely to hear when all the aspects of the day come together to make a thoproughly enjoyable day. We hope to welcome you and Catherine back here again soon. Annie and the Team"

Janine Gray reviewed: Nature & Botanics in Lino Cut ' with Sue Rowland, at Greystoke Craft Garden and Barns near Ullswater and The Lake District

"I had a wonderful day at the linocut workshop with Sue. I was an absolute beginner and felt really supported by Sue as well as the other participants. The venue is beautiful and the hospitality excellent - home made biscuits and coffee, lunch in the garden and a delicious cream tea in the afternoon. At the end of the day, I was really pleased with my prints and feel ready to have another go at home."
