Sue Nicholson reviewed: Chichester: beginners taster workshop - full day

"Enjoyed the day but found it too much in one day. Would have preferred to go slower instead of a quick taster of lots of things. I’m not artistic and found the free time at the end excruciating as I found I was way behind everyone else. Had to leave early. Bought a pen and ink calligraphy set to practice at home."

Kirsten Burke responded:

" Hi Sue Thankyou for attending our Beginners Taster Day and for taking the time to write your review. We really do appreciate all comments made and these have been passed onto Emily (our tutor). I do hope you enjoy practising at home and if you have any questions, please do contact us. Best wishes Nadine"
