Claire Booth reviewed: Pottery Throwing (Group Discounts Available) Lessons in Worcester

"Chris was really knowledgable and very friendly. It was great to see from a lump of clay how easy it is to form into something handmade! It would have been great to have had a little longer as the decorating felt a bit rushed."

Chris Greening Pottery responded:

"Many thanks for the review Claire. The pots were lovely and just right for that tapas and nibbles evening! Best wishes, Chris."

Kirsti reviewed: Natural Cold Process Soap making workshop with refreshment near to Bristol

"Being widowed, Valentine's Day is usually a 'non-event' for me. This year I decided to do something about this and booked Sonia's soap-making course on 14.2. What a brilliant day it was! With Sonia's help, I produced two lots of gorgeously scented soaps. As a special extra, Sonia also let me make some beautiful heart-shaped soaps. My disability means that I cannot stand unaided or carry things, so Sonia did those steps of the soap-making that required lifting and carrying. Sonia is a brilliant, patient teacher and I felt completely at ease with her. I recommend Sonia's soap-making course to anyone thinking of starting an interesting new hobby. It would also be a nice hen party event or a fun-filled birthday present for someone special."

Zenken Limited responded:

"Thanks for your recommendation. Kirsti, I am really pleased that you enjoyed my course!"

Ruth Elliott reviewed: Wax wrap workshop with tea and cake, East Yorkshire.

"The course went well. There was a good choice of fabrics and we certainly learnt how to make the wraps. Plenty of refreshments. Tutor waffled a little and we had to wait around a bit for equipment to warm up and queue for the irons. Other than this it would have been Excellent. Very good value."

Nicola D reviewed: Weave a scarf in a day - handloom weaving

Natalie Thomas reviewed: Winter Woodland beauty- natural cosmetic making from woodland plants and trees

"This was a great hands-on, full day of making. It was well structured, with Rachel guiding us through soap making in the morning, then giving us freedom to have a go at the other bits like salves and bath bombs later in the day. It was a lovely friendly atmosphere and I went away with an incredible collection of bath time goodies!"

Norman Thornton reviewed: Learn to Turn in the Dartmoor National Park

"I completed a day course with Chris in Feb 20, I wanted to work with wood and a wood turning course is what interested me. I could not have wished for a better tutor Chris is a very good teacher and as a novice, having a relaxed approach by Chris and one to one instruction was a huge bonus. I had a thoroughly enjoyable day and turned a beautiful beech bowl. Great value and learned a great deal thank you Chris !!!"

Nicky Whitton reviewed: Carry all/tote bag short course

"A great Christmas gift from my brother in law. My sister, my niece and I had a fantastic day last Sunday making leather tote bags. With so much choice of colours/styles of leather we were really spoilt for choice and took our time choosing our personal favourites. The day flew by as we cut out our pieces, glued, then sewed the bits together (having practiced our skills on the different sewing machines). Deborette was a wonderful tutor, putting us all at ease and helping whenever and wherever needed, as well as providing plenty of drinks, biscuits and lunch. The finished products all looked very professional, and are all obviously unique. I know I would like to go back and make another one, and would definitely recommend to anyone thinking of taking part."

Becky Adams reviewed: Absolute beginners beaded jewellery workshop

"On the recommendation of some friends, I bought a beaded jewellery workshop as a present for my friend and Scarlet did not disappoint! Such a lovely relaxed session, no experience necessary, thousands of gorgeous beads to choose from and we have both come away with beautiful professional looking bracelets that were actually very easy to make under Scarlet's supervision. We are both totally inspired and will be looking to come back for another workshop. Fabulous experience, highly recommended."

Sharon Martin reviewed: Wheel throwing experience - half day course

"Jayne was very welcoming and creates a relaxed atmosphere which really helped with the experience. Clear instruction and a demonstration really helped and it was just the right balance of help and letting you have a go. In fact I spent a lot more time on the wheel than I imagined I would and managed 4 pots! Jayne is super encouraging and very calm, putting mistakes right and helping you achieve something to be proud of. Can’t wait to see how they look after firing. Highly recommend as a great intro and I think I’m hooked on looking at further ceramic experiences."

The Studio at Clapham responded:

"Thank you so much Sharon. It was a pleasure! I look forward to seeing you again soon."

Hazel Holloway reviewed: Willow Plant Climbers & Obelisks
