Sarah-Jane reviewed: Craft Bookbinding (1 day) in the Peak District

"A great day out - a relaxed atmosphere, Zantium studios were really welcoming and Holly the tutor was patient and supportive to all course delegates. She shared a wealth of knowledge and everyone completed a fantastic book. Catering was great, and as the weather was sunny, we had breaks in the garden being able to soak in the gorgeous scenery as well as the sun. I was engrossed in the course, and had an enjoable relaxing and productive day. Absolutely recommend this course, Thank-you. "

Zantium Studios Ltd responded:

"Thankyou so much, Sarah-Jane. Your comments mean a great deal to us here at Zantium Studios. I will pass on your happy feedback to Holly. All the best Alison "

Penny reviewed: Modern Calligraphy (1 day) in the Peak District

"This was a marvellous course. The facilities were good - the room was light and airy and there was a delicious lunch and plentiful supply of drinks....but more importantly the teacher was excellent. Ali clearly explained everything and she was very attentive to our individual work and queries. I came away feeling enthused and delighted with the work I had done and seen. I only wish there was a follow-up course!! "

Zantium Studios Ltd responded:

"Penny, what a superb review! Thankyou so much. I will pass this onto Allie and hope to welcome you again sometime. We are always open to designing new courses here at Zantium Studios. A follow up class could work well... Enjoy your new calligraphy skills. Your cards will be signed with a flourish this year!"

"Had such an enjoyable day on Allie’s modern calligraphy course. A smaller group meant everyone got valuable tips and had a great time practising whatever their ability. We were in a lovely studio with plenty of refreshments, lunch and tea & cake in the afternoon. Would definitely recommend! I’m very glad I booked it. Thank you all for a lovely day."

"My daughter Joanna and I had a wonderful day on our modern calligraphy course. Allie, our tutor, was excellent - she explained everything simply and it was easy to understand. We learned so much and are eager to put it into practice. Our hosts were a delight. Beautiful surroundings and lovely home cooked lunch and delicious cake in the afternoon. Can’t wait to arrange another course. "

Yvonne Abdul reviewed: Craft Bookbinding (1 day) in the Peak District

"I can highly recommend this one day course for beginners or anyone with a little experience of book binding. The day proceeded at a reasonable pace and I never felt rushed. There was plenty of choice when it came to materials for our books and Holly, our tutor was very calm and patient with everyone. We didn’t wait for anything when it came to refreshment breaks and the weather was just about good enough for us to sit outside and enjoy the wonderful surroundings and views. I really enjoyed the day and came home with a book that I was very happy with. I hope that I can return one day to experience another course like this. Thank you, Holly and Peter, who was a great host and provider of lunch and snacks."

Pete reviewed: Craft Bookbinding (1 day) in the Peak District

"This is a fantastic introductory course to book binding. The tutor, Holly, explained and demonstrated everything thoroughly. The course was unrushed allowing everyone to progress at a steady pace. I'm happy with what I learned and feel confident in using and building upon the skills taught. The hospitality was also excellent, with plenty of hot drinks and snacks provided through the day, with a very nice lunch and homemade cake in the afternoon. Overall, thoroughly recommended!"

Zantium Studios Ltd responded:

"Thankyou Pete, for this lovely positive feedback, So glad you enjoyed your day at Zantium Studios. I will pass on your comments to Holly. Hope to welcome you again sometime. "

Fatima Robinson reviewed: Craft Bookbinding (1 day) in the Peak District

"The 1 day bookbinding course is fantastic! Our instructor Holly used her vast experience in bookbinding and restoration to create an informative and very well paced course. Thanks to Holly's clear instructions and encouragement, I went home with a hardcover note book to be proud of. As if the course itself wasn't enough, to do it at Zantium Studios was a joy. The views are stunning and Allison is a wonderful, warm and friendly host. Allison made sure we had everything we needed, from a wide selection of refreshments (available throughout the day), delicious handmade lunches and afternoon cakes. I'd definitely recommend this course, and will be looking to attend another course at Zantium in the future. Thank you for an amazing day. "

Tina reviewed: Modern Calligraphy (1 day) in the Peak District

"A very well run course, led by a very enthusiastic tutor Allie. We learnt so much in one day, just can't wait to use it now. Lunch was provided by the host, which was delicious and made freshly for us. Great selection of fruit, biscuits and snacks should we be hungry. Even a home baked cake for the afternoon tea break! Would very much recommend the modern calligraphy course at Zantium Studios"

Zantium Studios Ltd responded:

Dawn Lewis reviewed: Craft Bookbinding (1 day) in the Peak District

"The bookbinding course was a gift from my adult children and what a wonderful gift. The course was really informative and fun taken at a pace to suit everyone but a small enough group to make it feel very personal. Holly was a great teacher calm and positive. The setting was beautiful with lovely food and refreshments. I will definitely look for other courses at this venue"

"I really enjoyed the whole day. Holly was excellent in her instructions which enabled me to produce a book of which I am very proud. She obviously knew her stuff and put it across very well for absolute beginners like me! I an inspired to continue with this craft into the future. The people at Zantium, Alison and Peter, looked after us very well and would recommend courses held there. Thank you again for a most enjoyable day."
