Lyn reviewed: Oriental Brush Painting For 1 or 2

"Our session with Genny was lovely. Chinese brush painting is a very calming, joyous and meditative style of painting, and Genny created an atmosphere that radiated that calm. As two beginners, we learned a little of the history, the tools, the method and the symbolism of what we were painting and created some beautiful pieces. Thank you Genny for your time and your professionalism."

Arty Genny responded:

"Thank you Lyn so much for your wonderful review. It was a pleasure to spend time with you. Genny xx"

Sarah, the tutor, has a modern and very well equipped studio in her garden and the day was organised so that I went home with something to be proud of having learnt lots of new skills. Sarah was very patient and encouraging and gave plenty of help and advice, thank you Sarah for a wonderful day."

Damla reviewed: Crochet Worshop - All levels at Tandem Crafts, Stourbridge

"Catherine was incredibly sweet and kind with me. I was late and she runs the place with her sisters, they’re chatty and friendly. We had a good chat about our lives while she was teaching me different techniques over a warm cup of coffee. Really recommend her, I end up buying 5 packs of yarn to finish my blanket! Thank you :) "
