12 week stained glass course

I have been going to Sam's stained glass for a few years now. I have learnt to fuse glass, copper foil, solder, and use lead in my pieces. I really enjoy my time there and enjoy the company. Sam is a great teacher. Anne

Had a wonderful day on Ann’s course. I have done other courses before, this course had a very personal touch. Ann is very knowledgeable, friendly and patient with both novice and more experienced. Highly recommend this course. Don’t hesitate to sign up and get busy.

Portrait painting in oils

Really enjoyed the two days - only 3 'pupils' (it takes place in Karls studio) so lot of one-to-one guidance. Karl is also painting one of his own portrairts from scratch so you can really see what he is reaching in action. Lovely atmosphere. Would do another workshop with him and receommend it.

Silverclay beginners jewellery workshop in Newcastle upon Tyne

An excellent beginners course. Well paced so we completed our items in the time allowed and we both wore our new earrings the following day. Lots of examples and ideas so the hardest part was choosing what to make. Nice coffee and biscuits too !!

Pottery Experience Day at The Ceramic Studio

Such a great experience. Everyone was really friendly and there was a lovely atmosphere. I really enjoyed the hand building and learning how to decorate my work. The food was very good and the lunch break was relaxed and thoroughly enjoyable. Throwing was challenging, but fun!
