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 "

Karen was very encouraging, and kept the tea and coffee flowing. This made for a very relaxing course in a lovely old barn."

"Hi Catherine It was lovely to meet you and I'm so pleased you enjoyed the day. Everyone did so well, all of the lampshades looked amazing and I hope you've managed to find the right spot for it. Hope to see you again Karen"
