Donna Jones reviewed: Make your own Leather Apron for the BBQ, Crafting, Utility, Workshop

"What a fantastic day and I’m so thrilled with my Leather Apron. The studio space is beautiful and the array of leather to choose from was brilliant. Tracy took time to demonstrate then was at hand while we were set loose to make. Tracy is an excellent teacher and it was wonderful see so much of her own beautiful work on display I am always interested in trying new ways to make and I think I may be hooked!"

"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.

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!"

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 ."
