Jan reviewed: Mosaic Bird Bath Workshop

"Fantastic 3 hours course with Sarah. We did the mosaic bird baths and are so pleased with the results. Sarah was fab, gave us just the right amount of advice whilst still leaving us to make our own choice on designs. Would definitely recommend. Only issue is that they are too nice to put outside! 😁"

"I can’t recommend enough this course. Ted has an easy going and relaxed approach to teaching and this serves to make the whole experience thoroughly enjoyable. The course is heavily biased towards practical, hands on learning which was exactly what I was looking for. Don’t think about this course… just do it. You won’t regret it!"

Andrew Bellass reviewed: Basic blacksmithing course

"Fantastic course. Me and my mates from work (also play games online) all finally decided to get off our computers and do something together that was physical and creative and we all decided on blacksmithing. This was definitely a great course for a day and learnt so much. We were really happy with what we created at the end of the day and proud to have something we all forged from very hot metal! We felt very welcome and in safe hands, we couldn't of asked for a greater host and hospitality. Would definitely recommend for people who want a great day out and create something to remember. "

"Thank you very much Marianne for a fantastic day of basket weaving with you at The Cowshed. You are a wonderful teacher and very patient. The venue was lovely and warm on a cold wet day and the atmosphere was relaxed. I also enjoyed hearing the historical facts you gave us about basket weaving throughout the day. Such a nice group and great cake! I cannot recommend you highly enough. I am delighted with my funky lampshade and look forward to booking on another workshop very soon."

"Oh Melinda, I'm over the moon with your review! Thank you so much. I put so much into making it a pleasurable experience for everyone, but everyone is different, so you never know, but it's so lovely to hear that you had a fantastic day! Thank you very much again for your review and I'll look forward to creating something different again at what will be your third session with me.
