Mike and Penni reviewed: Stained glass one day course for beginners: one-to-one

"Had a fantastic day with Emma learning the basics of copper foil stained glass making. She helped with ideas but the pieces we made were very much our own, being guided through with encouragement we completed a piece each that we are both proud of that are now hung in ideal places in our home. We would highly recommend if you are considering doing this course. I would also like to say that I changed my booking after my husband decided he’d like to do it with me and Emma was extremely helpful and accommodating which we appreciated. Thanks Emma we really enjoyed our time with you, especially the banter along the way! Lovely day."

Mary Jowitt reviewed: Blind Embossing: lino printing without inks, in Derbyshire

"Very enjoyable workshop in a lovely setting. Liz ( the tutor) gave us a friendly welcome . The workshop included well structured, clear instructions regarding the processes of blind embossing. Liz allowed each persons to express their individuality and gave support as and when needed throughout . Great for those new to printmaking or the more experienced. Everyone went away with something they felt happy with having produced . Would recommend others should have a go !"

Liz Wellby - Artist, Teacher & Maker responded:

"Hi Mary, Thanks for taking the time to review your day. It was lovely to meet and work with you. As an experienced printmaker you quickly understood the process and could see the potential that blind embossing has for your work and how you may combine techniques, so I think it will give you a real creative boost. Hope to see you again at The Slipper Studio and happy embossing. Best wishes Liz Wellby"

I would definitely recommend trying any of Helens work shops, as you will learn a lot and bring home a beautiful creations, we both made earrings a necklace and even had time to make a sun catcher. Helen is very encouraging and good at explaining different techniques, she has a very warm personality which puts everyone at ease. Helen is a great teacher!"

I’m thrilled you and Annie enjoyed it, you were both so enthusiastic & both selected beautiful colour palettes with which to work ( I’ve included a photo on the listing) and Annie really captured the texture of feathers on her sun catcher.
