I was gifted the 2 day bladesmithing course as a retirement gift by my colleagues- how well they know me! Spike proved to be an excellent teacher - his gentle and encouraging manner, with plenty of humour, made for a brilliant learning experience. I now have a beautiful traditional Seax belt knife to use and treasure! I came to the class with all sorts of ideas and Spike patiently helped me to craft something that is astonishingly close to what I dreamed of - I will certainly join him for another workshop in the future. His setup here at birchington is delightful and I can only thank him for a “5 star experience “!

Creating a Viking knife an introduction to forging and knife making at Bearded Pig Forge

Alan is a very patient teacher and is extremely knowledgeable on the subject of spoon carving. The plan is to carve some spoons for a wedding present and I feel Alan has given me the skills to get started on this. The day was also a great digital detox with delicious vegan food.

Alien spoon carving

I had an involving and interesting day with Richard, both relaxing and, at times, hard work. It was fascinating comparing working with the gas forge with the traditional coke forge. I wish I'd done this decades ago, and chosen a different career.

First steps in blacksmithing - 1 day class

We had a great morning, as part of our wedding anniversary celebration. Fascinating to learn more about chalk paint, and to go home with a creation! We were very touched by the Prosecco, card and glasses, so thank you. I look forward to attending a furniture restoration class.

Chalk Paint Taster Workshop by Little Gems Interiors

This was a beginners course, Mother’s Day treat. Jonathan was brilliant. He explained well, supported where needed. I have lots of lovely pieces from the day. Great tea and cake. Highly recommend.

Silver jewellery class for beginners

I enjoyed the course very much. Jane was very attentive, gave us good insight and info on Needle Felting. As a beginner I found this very helpful and Jane has given me the impetus to do more, I have even ordered some tools to get me started.

Needle Felting A key Ring

I do enjoy a good craft course and this was an awesome Christmas present. Claire gave us a glass cutting tutorial and explained how to construct a glass picture. We got to create whatever picture we wanted and Claire was on hand to advise and assist. The Larick Centre was a nice venue and there was a café on site too. Can’t wait to see the finished article once it’s fired in the kiln and posted out to me.

A wonderful clay session for my friend’s hen do, making botanical tiles. Deborah was a fab teacher and demonstrated different techniques, helping us all to create some beautiful tiles! Very well organised session with a variety of tools and materials. Looking forward to seeing the end products! Would highly recommend. Thank you Deborah!
