Helen reviewed: Paper Making - Hand Made Recycled Paper

"My niece and I had a fantastic time with Wendy on the paper making course. My niece has declared it the best craft course she has been on. Wendy was very patient and clearly described and explained the steps in paper making. We both made 4 lovely pieces of paper. Thank you Wendy we both look forwards to coming back and trying a different craft."

"We had a great time with Wendy learning how to make paper. She was very friendly and informative and made us feel very welcome in the space. There were loads of great options in terms of what we could include and it was really enjoyable. Great that we could take home the mould and deckle so we can carry on making at home"

Amy reviewed: Macrame - Wall Art

"This was my 2nd macrame course with Wendy and it was excellent! As always, everything is provided, she is super patient and really clear when explaining things, and we had her undivided attention as she closes the shop. You literally couldn't ask for anything more!"

Amy reviewed: Macrame - Plant Hangers

"An amazing course! Wendy is so welcoming and knowledgeable. All materials are provided (along with a tea/coffee/hot chocolate!) and the class is excellent value for money. Wendy also closes the shop during classes so you have her undivided attention which I’ve never known anywhere else to do. She has the perfect approach that makes even tricky knots seem simple and when you get stuck/confused she can always get you back on track and never comes across as patronising, she makes you feel great about what you achieved. Also, as someone high risk in the pandemic Wendy was so accommodating for my needs/concerns and I honestly couldn’t have asked for more! I’m back for another macrame class in a few weeks and I’m sure will be doing more in the future too!"

A great choice of recipes and a lovely informative booklet to take home too. I look forward to enjoying and gifting the soap. Thank you Wendy!"

"My friend and I had been really looking forward to doing this course and it didn’t disappoint! Wendy is a very calm and knowledgeable tutor who managed to make two novice crafters feel at ease and confident enough to successfully make two beautiful bracelets that we wear with pride! We’re already planning our next course with Wendy ?"

Denise Langham reviewed: Macrame - Feather

"I have done several of Wendy's courses and have enjoyed all of them. Having done the macrame wreath my friend and I have caught the macrame bug so booked to learn how to do the feathers. As always Wendy gave clear instructions and she is so patient! We are already thinking about the next course we'd like to do. I can highly recommend these courses."

"Loved the macrame class with Wendy! It’s something I wanted to be introduced to and Wendy's clear explanations were very helpful in making it an enjoyable experience. She also gave me a leaflet before I left so I can replicate the experience at home. Will be back for more classes!"

Eugény Couture reviewed: Introduction to Candlemaking

"This was a birthday gift from my partner. As it was a surprise I didn’t know what to expect until the day before I attended. I spent a lovely day with Wendy (I had two courses booked) and had lots of fun making candles with her. She is very patient and knowledgeable so didn’t leave any question unanswered. Her little boutique is very welcoming and tidy so the whole experience was very enjoyable. I think I’ll be able to make candles on my own thanks to her clear teaching + leaflet she gave me before I left."
