David Yeates reviewed: Copper Foil Stained Glass Workshop in The Cotswolds - Gloucestershire/Wiltshire/Oxfordshire Border

"The course was really very enjoyable. The leader, Sharon, was very knowledgeable and took care to ensure that we were all doing well to proceed in the work needed to get the most from the day. I had some reservations as I had Arthritis in my fingers and was worried that the detailed working would cause my fingers to spasm. However there was no need as the pace was easy going and any problems sorted. All in all a very enjoyable and productive day - I will certainly try and carry on in stained glass work. Thank you for the course."

Lechlade Craft Barn responded:

" We're so pleased you enjoyed your day. There is a lot to learn but there's no pressure and everyone works at their own pace. Your finished piece was lovely so I'm pleased you are looking to make more. We hope to see you at another workshop soon. Karen"

Terry Webb reviewed: Pyrography Wood Art Workshop in The Cotswolds - Gloucestershire/Wiltshire/Oxfordshire Border

"My name is Terry Webb and had the pleasure of attending a Pyrography Workshop at the Lechlade Craft Barn. There were 5 of us attending the workshop with the tutor Sharon. I found Sharon to be friendly with a very easy going and inclusive attitude to the workshop which made it a very pleasant atmosphere to work in. Pyrography as a craft was new to all of us, which worked well for all of us. Sharon was very knowledgeable and relaxed in the way she passed it onto us at the right level. By the end of the workshop we all had produced a piece of work that we all were very pleased with. I would recommend anyone who would like to try a new craft that is a little bit different to attend this workshop. Could you please ask Sharon which sander her husband would recommend, as I found the piece of wood that was provided to be very well prepared? Kind regards. Terry Webb. "

Lechlade Craft Barn responded:

" Hi Terry, The piece you made was beautiful! So glad you enjoyed the workshop and inspired to do more at home. I'll ask the tutor about the sander and send you a message. Karen "
