Rebecca reviewed: Yotsume Toji - Japanese Stab Book Binding

"I spent a lovely afternoon with a small group of ladies stab book binding. The teacher is friendly and welcomed us with tea and coffee. The studio is small but perfect for our craft. This was my second course I have done with the Little Craftery and I will definitely book again. "

"Most enjoyable as always. A course making something decorative and, I hope, useful which I have left with the tutor to finish off for me (to make sure it is done the right way). I really appreciated her help."

"A lovely welcoming class in a cosy setting. Wendy was patient and encouraging, gave lots of practical advice, but helped us to make our own design choices. I'm keen to do another workshop here."

Anna reviewed: Double-Sided Lampshade Making

"We had a positive experience with Wendy's course. From scheduling the date just for us, through to detailed instructions and printed followups after the workshop. We have both gone home with extra skills and possibility of further "posh" lamp making workshops! :-) Thank you Wendy. "

MARGARET VERMEIREN reviewed: Origami Stars

"Me and my friend, Lydia, had a lovely time learning a new skill! Wendy is kind and patient (and makes a lovely cup of coffee!). We have come away equipped to make lots of stars as well as ideas for using them at Christmas time. It’s a lovely space to work in being surrounded by completed craftwork in a bright and airy space. The time flew by and we will book another course when my friend next comes to stay. Thank you Wendy 😊"

"My friends and I had a great group session making mosaic trivets, coasters and pictures. Wendy is so knowledgeable, helpful and ensured that we had a relaxed and productive afternoon. This is the 4th course I have attended and I have enjoyed every one (soap making/ paper making / wet felting and mosaics) looking to book next one asap. Highly recommended."

Marian Saunders reviewed: Introduction to Candlemaking

"What a fun and rewarding experience this was. The Little Craftery is a lovely space to work full of beautiful things that Wendy has made. She took me through the candle making process step by step explaining it all as we went and I was thrilled to come away with a dozen candles complete with instruction leaflet to make more at home. I can thoroughly recommend this course."

Diane reviewed: Paper Making - Hand Made Recycled Paper

"This class was wonderful, great fun and very satisfying. There were plenty of different "ingredients" to experiment with, and Wendy gave us lots of additional tips and information to achieve the best results. Coming away with the finished papers, frame and instructions, together with lots of ideas from Wendy and the other ladies, means I will certainly be doing more of this at home. "

"What a fabulous class. This was my first attempt at jewellery making and Wendy was a great tutor. I learnt so much and made several sets of earrings - which I love. The venue was perfect and I can't wait to return to try out another craft. One lady had been gifted the class for her birthday - what a great idea and lovely surprise. "

Deborah GUINESS reviewed: Double-Sided Lampshade Making

"Great course. Guided by our lovely tutor Wendy, we were gently guided through the necessary steps and Wah la! We each made a stylish lampshade! Mine was made by using upcycled fabric which was saved from landfill. Thanks Wendy for such a great structured course and a very enjoyable time. I learnt a lot from this face to face course and it was good to meet other like minded people. "

Jenny reviewed: Paper Making - Hand Made Recycled Paper

"A lovely way to spend a Birthday morning! Wendy guided us through the essentials of making paper, step by step, in a relaxed and unhurried way. Delighted to leave with three pieces of my very own paper! And loads of ideas for trying this relatively inexpensive craft at home. The helpful booklet given at the end of the course is really useful for reminding you of the steps and useful tips. Would thoroughly recommend this course!"
