Lou Bamber reviewed: From the garden: Still life with a mixed media approach - Fully Booked

"This was a really enjoyable course - Alison is relaxed and positive and makes creativity fun! There was no pressure to produce a masterpiece; the emphasis was on experimentation and being encouraged to challenge your way of working. The location is stunning - a huge barn in the middle of the countryside. I would highly recommend these courses. "

Helen Houghton reviewed: Transfer printing on fabric

"I had a really lovely creative day learning Transfer printing. Alison is a very experienced textile artist and generous with her knowledge. I learned lots of new techniques and was able to experiment and enjoy playing around with new ideas. The studio barn is lovely and we were spoiled with hot drinks and home made cakes. I can’t wait to go back! "

"Hi Helen, Thank you for taking the time to tell us about your day and I am so pleased you enjoyed the day. Transfer printing is a really fun day and very experimental. It is always exciting to see how the dyes are transformed when heat is added, you never know what the outcome will be ! Looking forward to seeing you again soon. Best wishes Alison "
