Penny reviewed: Lino Printing onto Fabric Cottingham

"Great day, first time for my sister and I doing any linocut printing. We both made a lovely print and had time to print a couple of fabric pieces (to make into cushions later). Course was well paced for us all to follow easily and there were some lovely different prints made. Tutor (Holly) was great. Location was very good, plenty of room and very handy for me as only live a few minutes away! Would love to see more courses here. "

Deborah N reviewed: Lino Printing onto Fabric Cottingham

"Another Fantastic day with the fabulous Holly! I would recommend one of her courses to all. Well organised, highly skilled, friendly, helpful, explains clearly, gives excellent demos. Lots of high quality materials available to use. Some stunning results all round. Came away with 4 printed panels that I’ll make into cushions. I really felt I’d achieved something and feel confident to have a go at home. "

Mrs Anna Brown reviewed: Reverse Applique and Free-motion Machine Embroidery Bridlington

"Holly is extremely well organised with good equipment and lovely materials. She is an excellent teacher and easy to understand. She is also helpful in overcoming issues. This session involved a period of time learning to use the sewing machines. This was 'down time' for me as I brought my own machine and wanted to learn the technique on this. Good results and friendly atmosphere and suitable venue. A handout would be useful and a board with the samples available rather than being passed round. A list of details of pens etc would be useful with references. It was an enjoyable session which I would recommend to others."

Thread and Press responded:

"Thanks Anna, glad you enjoyed it. The reading list was a great idea, I have started putting one together. I have just emailed you with a document with a summary and the resources used. Hope to see you again soon :)"
