Joy Harrison reviewed: Drum Lampshade Making Class at Unique Cottage Studios, Spalding, Lincolnshire

"The lampshade making course run by Lee was everything I wanted it to be and more. Lee explained everything really clearly, guiding when needed to, but stepping back enough for you to get on and do things for yourself. Couldn't praise her enough and will definitely be going back to her for another course."

Finch and Toad responded:

"Thank you Joy for your lovely review. It was a pleasure to work with you on your project . The lampshades looked fantastic. I look forward to seeing you again. Kind Regards Lee"
