Reviews
My husband and I signed up for the course to give us and activity and something new to learn and experience. The course was so fun and more than we expected. We learned so much from our wonderful, and friendly, instructor.
Response from Stanwick Lakes art and craft courses:
Thank you so much for your feedback. We're really pleased to hear you learnt a new skill and had fun too.Loved the course. I didnt finish my bag in the time but will certainly complete it myself. The class is small so plenty of teacher time I would definitely recommend the course and if there are going to be any follow up courses would be very interested
Response from Stanwick Lakes art and craft courses:
We are so pleased to hear you enjoyed the leather bag course and hope that you are able to complete your bag soon.
