Erica reviewed: Tinsmithing Festive Pierced Lantern Course - 2 days

"Amazing experience. Tutor John was informative, supportive and fun to work with. The lanterns are fab and much bigger than I expected. Although previous experience isn’t necessary it’s certainly an advantage. John was a star. "

Amy Ward reviewed: Seasonal Willow Weaving: Festive Trees & Reindeer

"Jane is a fabulous teacher! She is knowledgeable, patient and fun, and very keen to pass on her skills to others. The course was excellent and went well beyond our expectations. We were able to create 5 different Christmas which we were all very proud of. The small class size and friendliness of all participants was a great bonus too! We loved this class, even as complete beginners, we were able to produce recognisable pieces. I bought the class as a gift for my mum (retiree) and thought I would join her. We both really enjoyed it, and would recommend this to anyone. "
