Chip F. reviewed: Leather Bound Bookbinding Workshop in The Cotswolds - Gloucestershire/Wiltshire/Oxfordshire

"Absolutely top tier! Kelly the instructor and Karen the owner were both fantastic. Kelly has a wonderfully relaxed yet no-nonsense teaching style that the entire group was able to work with extremely well. We never felt rushed and could ask all the questions we needed. Course included great information on general and practical aspects of both technique and supplies. Would highly recommend the course and the venue to anyone."

Lechlade Craft Barn responded:

"Hi Chip We're so pleased you both enjoyed the workshop. It was a lovely day, a fabulous group and the journals were all so beautifully made. It was our pleasure. Hope to see you again and look out for details of the new 2-day bookbinding workshop coming in October. Karen"

"Attended a beginners crochet workshop with Karen. The course was brilliant and the other course attendees were very lovely as well. I learnt a lot talking to Karen, and came away with some homemade crochet pieces and instructions. I learnt such a lot that I have booked onto two further courses. Well worth attending if you want to start a nice relaxing hobby "

"I really enjoyed this course and left feeling that I could have a go myself. Definitely worth doing to get the expert's advice and extra tips. Karen was welcoming and a good and patient instructor. I shall be looking out to join more of her courses!"

"It was lovely to meet you and so pleased you enjoyed making your lampshade. I did have fabric envy by the end as you all had beautiful fabrics. Hope to see you for another workshop. Karen"

Sarah Seymour reviewed: Coptic Bookbinding Workshop in The Cotswolds - Gloucestershire/Wiltshire/Oxfordshire Border

"Hi I really enjoyed this course and Kelly was an excellent tutor. However, we were short of time in the afternoon so I felt the stitching process was rushed (for me, anyway) and I came away feeling a bit confused. We could have done with at least an extra hour to the published time. If we had had more time for the stitching and perhaps a handout with illustrations of the process stages I think I would have come away feeling more confident I could do it again. As it was I felt it was all easy to start with and then the bit that was the most complicated went in a blur. That was a shame as that was the bit I had most wanted to learn."

Lechlade Craft Barn responded:

"Hi Sarah It was lovely to meet you. I'm glad you enjoyed the workshop and sorry the stitching process seemed rushed. I have spoken with the tutor and unfortunately, on this occasion, the more straightforward stages earlier in the day and choosing papers took longer than usual which then put time pressure later in the day making the workshop overrun by an hour. We have taken your comments on board and have added extra time to the workshop should this ever happen again. We've also noted your comment about a handout. Hope to see you again Karen "
