"This was my second course with Tuuli and involved making pendants with gem stones. Tuuli was patient and clear with her instructions as well as encouraging our creativity. The small group size works really well and the other participants were welcoming and friendly. I would love to attend future courses. Thank you Tuuli!"

"I'm so pleased to hear this Sarah! We had a lovely afternoon didn't we 😊 Thank you for taking the time to leave feedback - it very much appreciated. Hopefully see you again soon! Kindest regards, Tuuli"

"I attended Tuuli's silver clay workshop at Ransom's Pavillion, Hitchin. The workshop was a birthday gift - the process of booking with a gift voucher was very straightforward. Before attending I received helpful instructions about where to go, what to bring and what to expect. The workshop was a small group of 6, plus Tuuli. We were all made very welcome, and Tuuli started with a friendly intro to the course and what we'd be doing. The workshop was hugely fun and rewarding. We learned so many techniques, and I particularly enjoyed using the blowtorch! We practised making our pieces first before being let loose on the silver clay, which I found very helpful. The clay itself was easier to work with than I was expecting, and the finished pieces were delicate and very pretty. I was delighted to be able to make three small pendants plus a pair of earrings, which was more than I was expecting - basically we were given a set amount of clay, and could do what we wanted with it, some made a single ring, others like me made a few items. At each step Tuuli gave a very clear explanation, and took the time to show us (sometimes repeatedly!) how to do something - I really appreciated her patience and friendly manner, especially when I held things up a bit when trying to get my earrings to match (sorry about that!). The pace and content of the course were perfect for me as a beginner - however I think it would also be fine if you do have some experience and had a piece in mind that you wanted to make. I would definitely recommend Tuuli's workshop - the whole experience was simple, fun, inclusive and rewarding, and I'm absolutely delighted with what I achieved. Definitely good value for money too. Thank you. "

Tuuli Parker responded:

"Sarah thank you so much for such an in-depth review! I really do appreciate the time it took you to write this and the detail you covered. I'm so pleased to hear your thoughts and that you are happy with what you made - your pieces came out beautifully! Kindest regards, Tuuli"

"Thank you so much for your review Anne - it is greatly appreciated! I'm so glad you enjoyed the workshop - we had a great afternoon didn't we! Kindest regards, Tuuli"

Wendy Greenwood reviewed: Saturday Silver Ring Making Workshop - Ransom's Pavilion, Hitchin

"I did the silver clay course on Saturday with my niece. Both complete novices but Tuuli was very patient and explained processes clearly, and didn’t mind going over processes more than once for those of us who were confused the first time (me!)! She was very knowledgeable about her craft and ensured that we all came away with items to be proud of. Would highly recommend. "

Tuuli Parker responded:

"I'm so pleased you feel proud of what you made Wendy - you should be, your pieces came out beautifully! Thank you so much for your feedback, it is very much appreciated. Kindest regards, Tuuli"

Sarah Westcott reviewed: Saturday Silver Ring Making Workshop - Ransom's Pavilion, Hitchin

"Tuuli was a fantastic teacher! Patient with a complete beginner who had never tried any sort of crafting before. I came away with two beautiful silver pieces and lots of confidence to try another course. The small group meant plenty of opportunity to ask questions of Tuuli and a really friendly atmosphere. Can't recommend highly enough! "

Tuuli Parker responded:

"Thank you so much for taking the time to leave such a nice review Sarah! Your pieces came out beautifully and I look forward to seeing you on futures courses! Kindest regards, Tuuli"

Susan reviewed: Saturday Mould Making Workshop at Ransom's Pavilion, Hitchin

"I took this course as I would like to make some earrings from leaves of my favourite plants. Tuuli organised our time together so efficiently and effectively that I can hardly believe that we covered so many options. As well as finding time to collect some plant material from the local forest garden, we made moulds using three different media and learnt how to judge quantities and depths of mould material to get the perfect result. Tuuli has a clear, thorough and efficient way of demonstrating techniques which were easy to follow. "

Tuuli Parker responded:

"Thank you so much for this feedback Susan, and the time it took. It is greatly appreciated! Kindest regards, Tuuli"

Christina reviewed: Saturday Mould Making Workshop at Ransom's Pavilion, Hitchin

"I really liked this course. Tuuli gave a very thorough class on how to create the moulds and we tried a variety in the class with enough materials spare to continue to make some moulds at home. I really recommend it and I'm looking forward to using the moulds and hunting for tiny things to take moulds of! :)"

Mel Busby reviewed: Saturday Mould Making Workshop at Ransom's Pavilion, Hitchin

"The course is a very informative course and where I learnt to make moulds correctly. I have had a go before the course and wasted a lot of moulding material. It was lovely to mould leaves no matter how tiny, and discover which moulds are better for more accurate detail. I would recommend this course."

Tuuli Parker responded:

"Thank you for taking to time to leave a lovely review Mel. I'm so glad to hear that you found it useful. Kindest regards, Tuuli"
