Debbie Barclay reviewed: Spring Wreath Making

"Very enjoyable day . The teacher Racheal was lovely and very enthusiastic. Since doing this course I can’t help looking out for plant material to forage when I am out walking my dogs, for future wreath making and also have ideas of flowers to grow in my garden , for the same purpose. A new skill learned! "

Marie Burton reviewed: Charcoal Portrait Taster Session (Morning)

"This was a very well planned course. It really helped me to understand charcoal portraits and in particular how to get life like portraits. I also found that I didn’t get on very well with the medium so a full course is not for me. However I really enjoyed the morning and would happily recommend it."
