Jane Evans reviewed: Simple book making - without glue or sewing

"What a wonderful morning! Nina is a great teacher - warm, friendly, knowledgable and very patient. We came away with one or two delightful little notebooks, made without glue or stitches and plenty of ideas to create some more of our own at home. I'll be loking out for more of Nina's classes - this was my third!"

"Very enjoyable and relaxed atmosphere. The tutor Vina is so knowledgeable on her craft and eager to share her skills. Well worth the prize as everything was provided. I've been to many of Vina's workshops and looking forward to many more."

"Thank you Nina, I had a lovely relaxing morning learning and exploring a new art medium, You were helpful and encouraging sharing your knowledge of ink drawings and the effects of using ink on a range of papers. Your session was very interesting and sharing samples of your beautiful creative art work and projects was a pleasure to see. "
