"What a beautiful day, Had the best time at crafters cottage making soaps and natural body care products. Julie and Jools were so welcoming and I had the best day ever and I did what I was dreaming for. Julie was very knowledgeable, helpful and the way she taught was amazing. It was a very fun and interesting workshop and also full of handy tips and information we need to take at home. I had the best experience. I was away from my 6 month baby and it was worth it. I will definitely come back again and I would thoroughly recommend to my friends. "

"What a lovely day! Had the best time at crafters cottage making soaps and natural body care products. Julie and Janet were so welcoming and lovely. Julie was very knowledgeable and led the workshop in a really fun and interesting way but also full of handy tips and information we needed to know if we wanted to make our own products afterwards. It was great that we were in a group of 8 which meant that we made some really nice connections with each other but also small enough to be able to ask Julia any questions we needed to. A really lovely day that I would thoroughly recommend! "

"This was such a fun course, honestly had the best time ever. Attended with a friend as a part of her surprise birthday treat and she loved it. We got to make and take home so many goodies; I’ve gave mine to some of my family members who love the products. The afternoon tea provided was divine! My only complaint is that we have to walk through the shop which is full of goodies and I couldn’t help splurge on the amazing products they had! Went home with too many shopping bags!! Haha, thanks so much for an amazing time. 10/10 defo recommend!"

"Hello, l had a wonderful experience at this course, l really enjoyed it me and my daughter, she wouldn't stop telling me what a lovely time she had. The lunch was amazing we ate our belly full, lol but otherwise the course was totally worth it. Jools was very funny, she takes her time with you she goes through it over and over. She answers all my questions, she's a very kind, wonderful, and a beautiful lady. Thanks jools for making me enjoy myself. Sincerely, Stacyann and Hannahleah "

"This course was fab and we came away with enough soap and body butter for months! Brilliant course with loads of variety and suitable for total beginners. Jools is really friendly and knowledgable. Lunch was enormous so leave lots of room for delicious goodies!"

"We really loved the soap making course. The setting was so cute, Julie and Janet were so friendly and we really appreciated having so many choices of scents and embeds to play with. We came away with a variety of hand made products, feeling like we learned loads and had great fun"

Lisa W reviewed: Natural soap & cosmetic products workshop

"I thoroughly enjoyed making soaps, bath salts, bath bombs and body butters with Julie. I liked the fact that we made everything using oils so the duration of the products made will last longer. Julie shared so much including her templates, the products she makes including how to make a holder for soaps without the use of scissors. Lunch was beautifully served, it was a fun and very informative day. Julie also shared her suppliers and recipes in a timely manner. Thank you so much for a great day!"

Heather Janet Church reviewed: Natural soap & cosmetic products workshop

"Great in many ways 1) Instructor made you feel at ease 2) Location was absolutely adorable and craft inducing 3) Lovely lunch although the only comment I would make is a little more savoury and less sweet perhaps? It was sandwiches then cake, yoghurt, tart and fruit. Perhaps swap the tart or cake for some crisps? 4) A lot more to take home then I realised. Definitely great value for money and I will be booking more courses like this."

"Had such a lovely day with Julie. There were 5 of us in the group and we were all made to feel very welcome with a cup of tea/coffee on arrival. The location was easy to find, parking was easy to locate and the cottage itself was a charm. We all had our own space where all the equipment and our first set of "creative" ingredients were laid out ready. To begin with we were made a soap load using the liquid soap method. Julie went into great detail, explaining the different methods of soap making before we moved onto creating our own soap scented with uplifting grapefruit. There were various colours to chose from, all natural, and lots of different embeds and embellishments to choose from. I went for poppy seeds and calendula. I was very pleased with the final result, which cut into 5 bars of soap. From there we went on to make a lip balm, body scrub, body butter, bath bomb and bath salts. Julie provided all the pots and labels needed and we were handed instructions on each to take away with us. The lunch we had was wonderful. It was a shame that Covid prevented the "afternoon tea", but they picnic hamper style box we each had was lovely, with sandwiches, cake, fruits, and a pastry along with a mug of tea. All in all a fabulous day. I would definitely recommend and will certainly be looking to take part in some of the other courses run by Julie."

"I did this course with my mum and sisters recently and we all thoroughly enjoyed the whole day. Jules is a natural at teaching, the atmosphere is very relaxed and friendly and all four of us were really pleased with the products we made and took home. The icing on the cake was the afternoon tea which was delicious! It's the second course we have done with Jules and Jan and we can thoroughly recommend it - a great day out!"

"Thank you so much Jackie for your lovely review and so glad you all enjoyed the course you were a fabulous family group who were a pleasure to have at Crafters Cottage xx"

Jill reviewed: Natural soap & cosmetic products workshop

"A great introduction into making soaps, bath salts and body butters. I left the course with products I had made and was inspired to learn more about making my own soaps, bath salts and body butters at home. As a result, my friends and family all received 'zero plastic' hand made toiletries this Xmas. Also, lunch was fabulous, thank you."

Gemma Turner reviewed: Natural soap & cosmetic products workshop

"Such a cute little venue. Arrived to teas and coffees and a table laid out so beautifully ready for our afternoon tea later. The group was great, Julie and Janet got us all settled in and we were all chatting together in no time. Plenty of time was given for making each product and Julie was friendly, knowledgeable and happy to take questions. Everything was easy enough to make - no prior skills needed, just an interest. We all made one of everything so could pick out own scents/colours for each product. I came home with loads of new knowledge and a surprisingly large amount of each product (would have cost me a fortune for similar in a certain natural high street cosmetics store)! The afternoon tea was divine, our requests were catered for. Every detail had been thought of, everything ran smoothly and it was a brilliant day. The cost felt a bit of a stretch for my budget, but I really wanted to do it, so i went for it. So glad i did! When you add up the skills learnt to make future products, the afternoon tea, the fun had and the cost of the products you come away with - worth every penny and then some! Excellent value, excellent time had and i can't wait for my ingredients to arrive so i can start playing (oops I mean making) at home. I would be delighted to recommend this to anyone & everyone! Thank you!"
