Terry reviewed: Mosaics for Beginners - West Sussex

"A friend and I attended the beginner mosaics yesterday. We had a lovely time, couldn't believe how absorbing this craft is. Picking colours, types of mosaic, cutting them and the blessed relief when you find a piece to fit! Wendy is patient and knowledgable and (as has previously been mentioned) makes a lovely cuppa. Can't wait to collect our grouted coasters and would definitely recommend this couse."

GBC reviewed: Making Wax Wraps

"The wax wraps class was great fun and very enjoyable. Wendy very friendly, welcoming and knowledgeable, gave clear instructions and was on hand ensuring a good end result, which I needed as I was a bit heavy handed with wax! Love the wraps use them all the time. Even my husband enjoyed it. Thank you Wendy."

Cynthia reviewed: Mosaics for Beginners - West Sussex

"I attended this course with a friend yesterday, and we both thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. Wendy talked us through the very beginnings of mosaic art so we could get started at ease. We both had fun choosing and making our mosaic designs with lots to choose and a vast range of materials to use. Wendy made us great cups of tea and supplied lovely biscuits too. Wendy has a beautiful workshop and made us feel very much at ease. Would recommend this course."

Ali reviewed: Wet Felted Pots

"I had a great morning creating a wet felted pot with Wendy. It was relaxed, informative and very satisfying Although I'd never done felting before, I came away with a pleasing result. I feel able to have a try at home with the few materials that I chose to purchase afterwards and notes to remind me of the process. A real pleasure."

Lilian reviewed: Mosaics for Beginners - West Sussex

"I attended a mosaics course on Sunday with a friend. Wendy was so friendly and helpful. She gave us lots of advice about how to design our mosaics. We had a wonderful time being creative, drinking cups of tea and singing along to a fabulous playlist. Wendy's workshop is also a lovely shop, stocking craft materials/ tools and lovely handmade mosaics, jewelry and macrame items which would all make great gifts. I will definitely go back for more workshops in the future."

Juliet Wilkes reviewed: Natural Cold-Process Soap Making

"Took this class with my sister and it was fantastic. Wendy is lovely and very knowledgeable. The soap making is really fun and with Wendy talking us through/ showing us the process ( and giving us a handy booklet) I definitely feel confident enough to recreate the process at home. We both made a large block of soap, which makes roughly 7 bars overall and there were loads of options to customise the soap. I would definitely recommend the class!"

Isabelle reviewed: Making Wax Wraps

"I had a very relaxed and enjoyable wax wraps making session. Wendy is really nice, she explains clearly the steps and gives you little tips on the way, never interfering but keeping an eye on you. I made many more wraps that I expected, and they look better than the ones I had from shops, besides the pleasure to have made them myself ! Really worth it, and recommended !"

"Really enjoyed this course in a lovely, relaxed atmosphere. Clear directions/ instructions given throughout and Wendy was always on hand if any additional help or advice required!

Theresa reviewed: Making Wax Wraps

"Wendy made it all so easy for us and we made far more wraps than I expected. Excellent value for money. I had tried making these at home but the ones I made here were far superior. The ingredients she uses mean you get a really nice finish. The time flew by and we were surrounded with inspiration for other crafts. We had travelled a long way for this course but it was worth it and we will be back."

Tracey reviewed: Introduction to Beaded Jewellery - West Sussex

"Two and a half hours just right to produce a necklace and many earrings. Lots of choice bead wise and as little or as much direction as you need. Drinks are offered and atmosphere is relaxed and fun. Would recommend especially if you've got some birthdays coming up. Tracey"
