Let there be light! . My sister and I attended a workshop with Maxine 4 weeks ago and it was a fantastic day. We both came away buzzing with excitement and a beautiful lampshade. Maxine was very generous in her time, sharing her knowledge in a supportive and enabling manner aided by plenty of tea and 🧁. So many ideas...
I attended one of Jacqueline's Indian block printing courses on Thursday evening. The course was very well organised, we had sample items to try out printing on different mediums, paper, card, envelopes and material sample pieces before we graduated to larger items. Jacqueline started by giving a really good demonstration full of instructions and tips on printing techniques. Everyone was...
I would highly recommend this course. I had never done any basket weaving before and by the end of the second day I had an amazing basket to take home. It was entertaining and fun and Joe teaches in a really relaxed manner, in small class sizes. Everyone works at their own speed and you never feel like you are...
Nigel is a great teacher. Although I won’t be giving up my day job to start an Apprenticeship metal working, he was patient and showed me how to work the metal so I came home with some great pieces and was really pleased with my efforts. It was a lovely sunny day so at lunch we wandered through the amazing...

Mick replied within a few hours and...
I had traumatic memories of Lino cutting at school but I have been totally converted by this excellent workshop. Alix was very informative and everyone was able to work at their own speed in a very relaxed atmosphere. I have already put my new found skills to use and look forward to doing another course with Alix soon
Absolutely brilliant day! We all need a bit of needle felting in our lives and Denise is just the lady to provide it! She is an excellent teacher - very patient, kind and encouraging - and everyone left with an amazing little woodland creature to treasure. This is my 3rd workshop (so you can tell how good they are!) and...
I was amazed at my finished product. Jo was so patient with me as a complete beginner. She was very welcoming and provided beverages throughout both days.
I am looking forward to my next course.
We attended the Willow Hare Course on Sunday, 14th July @ Barley Village Hall. SallyAnne made us feel welcome as soon as we arrived & we were introduced to the other people on the course.
SallyAnne was an excellent tutor who explained each step clearly. She demonstrated each stage and was on hand for advice if needed.
We were all...
Had a fabulous 2day course with the very talented Sophie ,her expert tuition enabled me to produce a very lifelike border collie, which is going to be a gift for a friend if I can part with it.
I would certainly recommend one of Sophie’s courses whether you are a beginner or just want to learn new skills.
