Karen Levell reviewed: Mosaics for Beginners - West Sussex

"We really enjoyed our mosaics class. Wendy was super helpful and explained everything really well - she guided you, without being overbearing. She was also extremely patient even though we overran our time by quite a margin. The workspace itself was a lovely oasis of calm and the whole thing was a really chilled experience. I would definitely recommend taking this class. Tip! If you're a beginner, designs with flat sides are easier than curves! :-)"

"My sister and I thoroughly enjoyed our paper making workshop - something we’d never done before. Wendy was friendly and helpful, patiently showing us the techniques then allowing us to explore the possibilities on our own. A really relaxing morning in the lovely little studio. I would definitely recommend this course."

Dizzy reviewed: Paper Making - Hand Made Recycled Paper

"This was a great birthday present. 2 hours with my daughter, having fun and learning a new craft. Wendy is a lovely host supplying us with tea and cakes. Her calm, friendly approach allowed you to experiment and we took home some very different examples. Nice to have the mould to continue at home."

Jane Marquis reviewed: Silver Jewellery - Ring Making

"Can’t praise this course enough, highly recommended. Really lovely welcome from Wendy and Jenny. Jenny explained and demonstrated everything really clearly and was very patient. Excellent at her craft and was very clear and thorough with her demonstrations. The end result is I have a really lovely ring that I’m proud to wear and everyone is full of compliments. Lots have asked details of the Little Craftery. Great supply of tea and biscuits too. Thank you so much"

Molly reviewed: Mosaics for Beginners - West Sussex

"I would reccomend this workshop for anyone looking for a calm space to be creative and learn a new skill. My friend and I had fun and enjoyed the whole process of creating our Mosaics. Wendy has a lovely shop and was happy to guide us through the process and answer any questions we had. It was a great experience and we both said we would like to do another workshop at The Little Craftery again in the future."

Scotty h reviewed: Eco Soy Wax Container Candles

"My 2 friends asnd I loved our afternoon making candles with Wendy yesterday. Wendy has all the technical know how if you want to make your own candles in the future, but is just as happy to guide you through the basics of making 5-6 candles during the session. A relaxed atmosphere, punctuated with tea and biscuits while the candles set. My favourite is a geranium one in a silver tin. A perfect session for friends or family and any age over about 12 I would estimate (check with Wendy!), given the use of hot wax. I am not remotely ‘craft-y’ but very much enjoyed it and would highly recommend."

Claire Kerr reviewed: Macrame - Plant Hangers

"A very enjoyable morning learning macrame. A relaxed atmosphere and excellent tuition with patience if you where a bit slow on the technique! I even have a professional looking end product. I certainly recommend this course to others… Thank you Wendy!"

April Smith reviewed: Macrame - Wall Art

"Absolutely loved learning how to make a macrame wall hanging. This class is such good value as you come away with a beautiful piece of art to hang up, but also with the skills to be able to do it again at home. Wendy is a great teacher and so patient. The little touches really go a long way, such as offering biscuits, tea and coffee and giving us a little 'how to' leaflet to take home so we know how to replicate the same hanger at home. I wouldn't hesitate to book another course here and already have one lined up in a couple of weeks time."

"Another very enjoyable couple of hours with Wendy, learning about candle making. Wendy answered all my questions knowledgably and is infinitely patient. I came away with a selection of 4 candles and 4 tea lights and bought supplies to make some more. This is the second course I have done with Wendy and can thoroughly recommend her."

Mary Finan reviewed: Introduction to Candlemaking

"Really enjoyed this candlemaking course, so much so that I am interested in carrying on making them at home. Wendy is a brilliant teacher with lots of patience. She takes time to explain everything and is willing to help if you get stuck with anything. I have done other courses with her, and have booked her Silk Paper Making course for the autumn."

"My friend and I had a lovely time making decorative paper with Wendy. She supplied a nice mixture of dried flowers, glitter (eco), papers, seeds and even tea bags to make our individual sheets. Friendly, informative and a lovely couple of hours. We each made five different pieces and were given the molds to take home to continue crafting. Would definitely recommend."
