"Wonderful course using different felting techniques. Walking in as a total beginner and leaving, understanding how to complete wet and needle felting techniques. A great way to spend a day, coming away with two beautiful pieces."

Dawn Clarke reviewed: Fused Glass - Taster

"5 of us attended Julie's glass fusing course which we all throughly enjoyed. We made coasters, Christmas decs and a window plaque. I picked them up a few days later after they had been in the kiln, we couldn't wait to see our finished pieces and we were not disappointed. Julie is a great laid back teacher, we all recommend this relaxing creative course. Thanks julie x❤x"

Margaret Wood reviewed: One day pottery making course for 2 people in Norwich, Norfolk

"Excellent day! It was an immensely enjoyable experience. Pat shared her knowledge and skills with humour and patience - and just the right amount of assistance when needed. Add to that a delicious homemade soup (very welcome on a cold, wet winter's day) and you have a winning mix. Book on now - you won't regret it!"

Charly Laikin reviewed: One person - Full day 6 hours sculpture/soldering brazing wire forming course, specialising in insects, fairies

"Roger is really friendly and accommodating. He is also very patient so it was a pleasure being taught by him all day. I learnt and did more than I expected to, and I even came home with a tiny dragonfly!! I know the basics of micro soldering after just one course and can't wait to buy my own iron and get started :)"

Justin and Ben Maeers reviewed: Blacksmithing, bladesmithing and metal craft

"We attended the two day course. It started with a sensible amount of health and safety, and then we were straight into forging! We learnt how to heat metal to an appropriate temperature, and then how to use a hand hammer before moving swiftly on to using the power hammers. Nigel demonstrated how to perform each step of the basics of forging, and then left us to get on and try ourselves. we improved rapidly, from a very unsure start to feeling more confident and actually producing some satisfying results. Day one, we made pokers with fancy twists and decoration a shovel and a bottle opener, all forged from mild steel bar. Day 2, Nigel asked what we would like to do, and Ben opted for making Damascus steel, which he made from scrap hack saw blades and banding, all stacked up than fire welded together. the resulting things he made from it (several spoons and a knife) are truly beautiful. I made a steel 'Amonite' which i then forged into two white hot steel blocks, then melted it in the forge to make a steel 'Amonite Fossil' We stayed in one of Nigel's caravans, had an open fire outside... a great couple of days. Thanks Nigel!"

Trudy Surman-Roper reviewed: Fisherton Mill in Salisbury - Claire Demetri Glass Fusing Workshops

"Claire is a great teacher who explains and demonstrates but allows each person to enjoy and experiment with the glass. I have been on several workshops and have made some lovely pieces. Some I have given as presents and some have been given pride of place in my sitting room. If you want an activity where you can totally immerse yourself in and de stress this is the one for you. Plus good value for money."

tracy jones reviewed: Fisherton Mill in Salisbury - Claire Demetri Glass Fusing Workshops

"We have been on two workshops with Claire as part of a family ‘girls day out’. Claire is friendly and supportive, sharing her own work to inspire! It is a lovely workshop as even the most basic designs look beautiful once fused. We all made items to keep as well as gifts for others. The setting is perfect too as the cafe and shop are a fab place to spend an hourbor so after the workshop. We will be back again in the near future. Thank you Claire."

Lynne Green reviewed: Fisherton Mill in Salisbury - Claire Demetri Glass Fusing Workshops

"Enjoyed a very informative workshop with Claire and although this was my first attempt at glass fusing both the Christmas tree and glass hanging ornament look very professional. Would definitely recommend her workshops to others. I'm hoping to go again in 2018 as glass fusing is certainly addictive and also very relaxing. Thank you Claire."

Sandy Blackmore reviewed: Stained Glass Evening Classes

"This course is both fascinating and addictive..... The more you learn the more you realise just how many different crafts there are using glass. Yolanda had me cutting and shaping glass on my very first lesson - something I had never done before. She has a vast knowledge of the craft, endless patience, and lots of ideas that I can't wait to try out. She is a terrific teacher and her enthusiasm is catching! The atmosphere is relaxed and friendly and there seems to be no limit to the beautiful and amazing things that can be made. I look forward to each session and would highly recommend this course."

Ronaldson reviewed: Needle felting Northumberland

"Myself and my friend had a wonderful day at The Emporium, I made some decorations and my friend felted a carrot! We met some other lovely women and cannot wait for the teddy one next year. We were able to buy some wool packs to continue at home, and I did and managed to make a heart. Thank you Yvonne the Tutor and Tracey the Owner we really enjoyed ourselves."
