Fiona reviewed: Introduction to silver jewellery making workshop with Diane Lee

"A great workshop for beginners. We covered a whole range of skills and ended up with two wearable pieces of jewellery so sense of achievement was really high. Diane was great at explaining, showing and encouraging. She is great fun too. I came along with my sister just for a fun and creative day which is exactly what we had."

les reviewed: Highland stool making course - Scottish Highlands

"Arron's woodwork day course is a great day out learning how to make a greenwood stool. The day is really worth the time and money as not only do you learn some new skills but you also get to take home your days work and have the family marvel at your handiwork. I would recommend this course to anyone whatever your age or experience. Arron's teaching style is relaxed and informal and packed full of woodcraft knowledge. Looking forward to booking up for a three day challenge when next available. Cheers Arron for a great day."

Raymond reviewed: Highland stool making course - Scottish Highlands

"Great day with Aaron learning amazing ways to work with greenwood. Aaron has a relaxed style when instructing and demonstrating which makes learning a pleasurable experience. At the end I was the proud possessor of a stool which was immediately claimed by my son as being "fantastic". Working with wood this way is almost therapeutic!!!! Highly recommended"

Mike reviewed: Wood turning courses

"Thanks George for a great day. I really enjoyed it and love the bowl we created together (I haven't yet given it to my daughter - that treat is yet to come!). I had a great day listening to you and learning from your experience - your style of teaching was very much appreciated and helped me especially as this was the first time I had ever done anything like this. The hospitality provided with teas, biscuits and lunch was first class, so many thanks to Susan! Thanks again for a great experience, I thought it was a brilliant day and I loved it! Cheers George!"

"Good time at the lathes, Andy is a patient teacher and pleasant company. Martine made a nice cottage pie for lunch to boot. I recommend asking to see Andys little "showroom" - the room is filled with outstanding pieces. Thanks Andy!"

Freya reviewed: Introduction to Leather Craft

"Bill is an incredibly knowledgable and talented craftsman. On the two day course he helped me understand many aspects of the leather crafts business, details about quality in products, all the while helping me to make a belt and a small clutch bag (which I am going to use a lot). If anyone is looking to develop your knowledge, craft skills or to just have a creative experience, I would thoroughly recommend this course to you."

Fiona Duncan reviewed: Stained Glass and Pique Assiette Mosaics course

"I couldn't believe my luck when I found Ann! Inspiring, enthusiastic and most of all - fun to work with. Fabulous countryside setting to work in yet just a short drive from the city of Aberdeen. I would highly recommend attending one of Ann's courses if you want to learn or improve your mosaic skills."

Jessica reviewed: Needle felted Seascapes with 2 Inspire You

"I had never tried felting before but I had such a great day. It was very relaxing and I came away this a picture I’m more than happy to put in a frame and hang on the wall! Rachel is the perfect tutor - very friendly, knowledgeable and fun! I wouldn’t hesitate to book another course and I will recommend it to my crafty friends. Thank you Rachel (and lovely assistant who I cannot remember the name of, sorry!)."

2 Inspire You responded:

"Thank you so much Jessica! I am so glad you had a good day. Your picture was amazing and my photo doesn't do it justice. It is great to see how your picture developed through the course of the day. We look forward to seeing you again! I will pass on the review to Rhian as well."

"Absolutely loved this course. Sarah is a fantastic teacher and made the whole experience very enjoyable. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Sarah and her courses to everyone. I haven’t stopped showing off my new bag to all my friends and family! I will definitely be back to learn more skills, thank you."

Ruth Lambert reviewed: Book Folding Workshop

"Really enjoyed the Christmas Bauble Making workshop with my Mum and Daughter. A lovely relaxing way to spend time together. We are now totally addicted to making more baubles at home! Sarah made us feel really welcome, was patient when we broke our needles and her workshop is amazing! Can't wait to come back for another workshop in the near future."

Hedley Peters reviewed: One day bangle/ring workshop

"I cant reccomend this enough. Jolene's depth of knowlege, workshop, and tea making are second to none. She is super patient too. On more than one occasion I found myself asking the same questions. My wife and i both would revisit this absolute artisan gem."

Matt W reviewed: Stained glass leading for beginners

"Having booked this for my wife's birthday, I arrived at Jamal's workshop with little artistic flair of my own but came away having had an amazing day holding my very own stained glass panel. Even though I found the early stages of glass cutting frustrating, Jamal patiently talked me through the process with an endless supply of positive reinforcement, hints and tips. Even though he holds a wealth of experience and knowledge, at no point did I feel intimidated or inadequate. His enthusiasm for the creative arts is apparent and I am hoping to join him again for another workshop in the future! I can highly recommend this workshop for true beginners and experts alike as I am certain Jamal would adapt his approach to any customer who is willing to share the day with him."

Stained Glassic responded:

"Thanks Matt, You are most welcome to come again!"

Geraldine Peters reviewed: One day bangle/ring workshop

"A great day, Jolene is friendly and helpful. She explains everything clearly and informs how you can translate your designs into jewellery showing techniques you can use but lets you do all the work yourself. Would definitely recommend the workshop. I didn't want to leave."

Stephen Laycock reviewed: Woodturning courses in Hampshire - Beginners and improvers wood turning courses - Turn British, all British lathes!!

"My wife gave me this course with Andy as a birthday present after I had taken up woodturning again after an absence of some 15 years and I can't thank her and Andy enough. I hadn't realised so much had changed over the years and I learnt so much and came away with so many ideas and inspiration. Just wish Andy hadn't told me I was turning using the old fashioned method as this made me feel old :). Great teacher really patient and knowledgeable. Great course which I recommend, you'll learn so much."

Sue Elliott reviewed: One day leather bag making workshop

"I wanted to know more about working with leather and decided to book a place on the one day "Make your own bag" workshop. I'm so glad I did. Rosanna is a wonderful teacher and full of knowledge. You work at your own speed and don't feel rushed at all. You can ask a thousand and one questions and in between "tea on demand" and lots of chat I came away knowing so much more and with a determination to come back for a second course. I made a beautiful bag which I love, love, love! It's stunning and so much better and more professional looking than I could ever have imagined. Thank you so much!"

Clare Blakeway-Phillips reviewed: One Day Small Leather Goods Workshop

"I loved this day course. Sarah was an excellent and patient teacher who had time for everyone and sorted us out if we got into difficulty. We learnt a lot in a day and the resulting bag was more professional looking than I was expecting. Sarah also had the shocking pink colour leather I was hoping for! My friends cannot believe that I made this bag and that I hand stitched it. Very proud of my bag. Would highly recommend the course."

Sarah Mayhew reviewed: One Day Small Leather Goods Workshop

"Sarah was welcoming, and allowed us to do what we were able too whilst being available at all times to help if needed. She explained everything clearly and had plenty of tools/equipment etc. I was really pleased with the result and my bag has been much admired"

Williams Handmade responded:

"Thank you for the lovely feedback and thank you for coming to the workshop. You did a great job on your bag :)"

Ian LW reviewed: Pottery 6 Week Classes

"Four of us did a taster session as a birthday treat for our teenage daughter. Joan was welcoming, a great teacher and she was generous with her time, knowledge and praise. She very kindly offered to fire and glaze our poor initial efforts (we were first time pottery throwers). All together a great experience and recommended. We will make the time to return."
