Just finished this wonderful day course with Rachael - it was a LOT of fun! I, of course, chose quite an intricate image, but the result was gorgeous. Rachael was helpful, patient and accommodating - an excellent teacher. The gilding is tricky but very enjoyable and the etching is very rewarding when you see the final result. Very happy with this workshop and would definitely recommend to anyone wanting a creative day course or just to try something creatively different. Thanks Rachael!

Thank you for a wonderful day Lisa! I’m really glad you enjoyed it. I’m so pleased you were able to complete the etching today-it was indeed an intricate image, but the final result was superb! I’m looking forward to seeing it when it’s dried!I really enjoyed learning to gild with Rachael. Having never tried it before, her patience was greatly appreciated and I will definitely continue to do it in the future.
I had a very enjoyable day in a lovely, relaxed class, everything was so well organised. Thank you Rachael for sharing your skills and knowledge so calmly with us all. Can’t wait to do some more.
Thank you so much for a fantastic workshop. It was an extremely enjoyable day. Gilding is such a special skill to learn and I loved the design and feel very happy with the end result. Thank you for your guidance and patience and I can’t wait to attend another workshop soon.
