Charlotte reviewed: Gathered Lampshades: A One Day Workshop

"Loved this course, I came away with a new skill and a finished lampshade. It’s a long intensive day that ran over even though we were ploughing through all the information so just a heads up if you’re travelling from a distance, it’s unlikely to finish at 5pm. It worked well though that it was just me and one other student so Naomi could give us all the direction and advice we needed throughout. If I lived nearer, I’d be doing all the courses!"

Chloe reviewed: Gathered Lampshades: A One Day Workshop

"Had a fabulous time on the gathered lampshade course. Naomi was a great teacher, and I was so excited to come away with a finished shade, and all the knowledge to make lots more! The team were all great at keeping in touch before and after the course, and would recommend to anyone crafty wanting to broaden their skills! "
