"A lovely experience, intimate setting which was cosy, just 4 of us in this class so felt more personal. Charlie was a lovely host, personable, friendly and very knowledgable. Would love to go back to do one of the other classes that Charlie offers. Would highly recommend the candle making I bought the class for my friends birthday and she loved it, something different and enjoyable."

Bob Jefferson reviewed: Five day woodwork course - tools

"Spent the last week on the course. Fantastic experience and renewed my very old and basic woodworking skills. I made a spinning stool and spent the first day understanding wood turning as a new skill. I learnt how to use a bandsaw, router, thicknesser/planner, bobbin sander, circular saw, and loads of hand tools. I made a handmade dovetail joint and how to set a hinge. The importance of preparation and finishing using oil and wax was an experience in itself. Loads of praise and kudos to Richard and Mark who lead the course and as a novice I was not made to feel inferior. I have already booked another couple of courses with them in the next few months - Covid depending of course. They also had made the workshop Covid safe - as far as able. Money well spent!"

Susan Harrington reviewed: Life Drawing - Worthing West Sussex

"Beautiful model and plenty of instructions from Tricia. Made unpleasant by the necessity of having to wear masks all day. Shame the November session has been cancelled, but looking forward to February 2021!"

"Thanks for your feedback. Fingers crossed our 2021 courses won't have such strict COVID restrictions and we may be able to dispense with masks. I'm glad you enjoyed the session otherwise."

Jilly Shired reviewed: Seasonal wreath workshop

"I really enjoyed meeting Mary and going to her beautiful workshop. I did the dried flower wreath course and made a gorgeous wreath , I was not expecting to actually make the twig wreath itself. So was pleasantly surprised that you could make it with branches easily under Mary’s tuition. There was a lovely selection of flowers to use and I would certainly recommend a few hrs with Mary I learned so much and will be making many more wreaths . I also think that I would like to attend the Xmas wreath making course with a friend as I know my Christmas door wreath will be extra special this year if I make it myself ."

Sandra D reviewed: Intro to Glass fusing : a 'Quirky Workshop' at Greystoke Craft Garden & Barns near Penrith and Ullswater

"I just wanted to let you know how much I enjoyed the Fused Glass workshop with Marilyn, I am really looking forward to collecting my pieces and seeing how they turned out. Please pass my thanks to Marilyn for her patience, knowledge and exceptional skill. Also thanks to you for all your hard work not just for setting up the course but for making sure that the venue is 'Covid' safe, it can't have been easy. The barn is a special place to work with a lovely relaxed atmosphere. The food and drinks you provided were most welcome, the scones were particularly delicious"

Marian reviewed: Mosaic/chat/create! with award winning mosaicist Emma Abel

"I really enjoyed creating something pretty out of nothing but broken china - each piece had a story and the mosaic preserves that unknown tale, just as your mosaics tell a story and inform. It was great to see all the colours of tiles you have - it gets the imagination going! I also loved all your beautiful mosaics and learning about your decision to focus on extremely endangered species in order to increase awareness of their plight. This takes mosaicing to another level. There was nothing I didn't enjoy!"

abelmosaics responded:

"Thank you for the positive feedback Marian. It was a pleasure to help you make something special out of your broken china pieces, your hare is beautiful. Emma"
