David Brown reviewed: Jewellery Making Classes

"First part of the course encouraged us to try different techniques to create textures and rolling wire to give us inspiration and skills for the project in silver. My family loved the pendant I made. I am looking forward to other courses Helen might be planning for 2018."

Sarah reviewed: ‘Winter dream ' wool painting face-to-face textile art course in Worcestershire

"I spent a great day at Magic Wool Studio with Raya Brown learning an amazing technique of wool painting. Wool painting for me was like making a picture with various fibres. I fell in love with this technique. I would like to say thank you to Raya who inspired me so much to create my work. Raya is a talented and patient tutor who gives clear step by step instructions to help her students achieve great results within a day workshop. I would recommend this course to anyone."

Katy Thierens reviewed: Bespoke candle making workshop - Edinburgh

"What a lovely way to spend a Sunday morning. Kerry welcomed us into her beautiful home and taught us everything we needed to know about candle making. Her knowledge is outstanding and we spent the morning learning about scents, wax, wicks, how to burn candles properly and so much more. Coffee and cake was an added bonus. If you love candles like I do, please go along to Kerry's workshop and make a candle that now only smells good but looks great. I'll be back!"

"Had a fantastic day with Bob, learnt loads, and would like to thank him for his patience and excellent teaching. I drove home with a big grin, super proud of my curtain rail. It has to be the best birthday present I have ever had."

Emma Hunt reviewed: One day stained glass classes by Le Breton Traditional

"I’d tried making mosaics previously but my glass cutting was abysmal. It’s so much easier with the right teacher and tools! I’ve done 3 of these days now and each time Matt has been brilliant. He will help you develop a design beforehand if you contact him and I’d recommend doing that as the day feels like it goes very quickly. He brings a lovely selection of glass and you can learn a range of techniques dependant on your chosen project. Careful though, you might get hooked!"

"Wonderful course!! Would absolutely recommend. Lovely relaxed atmosphere, Lovely resources and a great finished product to bring home. I’d never used powertex before, but sue made it very easy to get the hang of, with lots of guidance but at the same time complete freedom of creativity. Can’t wait to go back for another course ?"

Natalie reviewed: KF Creative Mosaics Workshop with Karen Frosdick – Make a beautiful 30cms mosaic bowl

"Very enjoyable, relaxing too. Would consider attending again. Learnt about the craft as well as made a lovely bowl! Able to make own creative, individual bowl. We were encouraged and directed well so we could create our own piece which is‎ unique rather than follow a prescribed pattern. So many different styles were created in the one class. ‎Tutor was fun and informative, time for all. Clear info, all great!"

Rachael Clark reviewed: A one day spoon carving course

"What a wonderful teacher! Sharif was exceptionally patient and encouraging - he coped with our mad family which is no mean feat! We learnt a whole array of skills and I for one cannot wait to get back and fine tune the spoon we made on the day! We are looking into times to come and do the bowl turning next! Cannot recommend Sharif highly enough - thank you!"

Renee Brailsford reviewed: Oak stool making experience - rustic carpentry & green wood work

"We had a great time woodworking with Ian, my children (7 & 10) made walking staffs which are now regularly used on walks. They learned about the traditional tools they used, the different types of wood and found themselves immersed in 'the making'. Ian is a natural teacher with a very gentle & patient manner and his passion for the craft is inspiring. Thanks!"

Gillian Thomas reviewed: Knife Making and Bladesmith Classes: Hand-Forged Viking Knife

"I thoroughly enjoyed the day and made a knife which is (startlingly) capable of neatly slicing tomatoes! Perfect for re-enactment cookery. I am quite small so have realised it would have maybe been a little easier with one of the lower anvils; definitely using the angle grinder at a lower bench was a good move, but age and gender are no excuse for not trying this class. A complete escape from daily life and challenging enough to give a great sense of achievement, but manageable too. Delicious lunch. Book soon because I am telling all my friends to go."

Gillian Thomas reviewed: Lampwork Bead-Making Taster Day

"I enjoyed this day and made 11 beads which are perfect for a Viking re-enactor. Good variety of techniques to try. I subsequently discovered I needed new glasses so I am going back for a second day when I will hopefully be able to see a little more clearly! Fun, but quite hard work concentrating. Enjoyable lunch."

Sheila Page reviewed: Stained glass introduction at Blue Kite Stained Glass

"I booked this course for me and my husband to have a taster into Stained Glass. Ian was very informative and made the day relaxing and fun. We both learnt a lot and thoroughly enjoyed the day and would highly recommend it. The course was easy to book, and Ian provided a good amount of detail prior. The course only involves a maximum of 3 people so you have Ian's attention and help to guide you through the day and we were both pleasantly surprised at the item we both made. Well worth the money."

"An excellent evening with Chris who encouraged myself and my husband to enjoy our first pottery experience. Chris is welcoming and shares his knowledge of pottery with enthusiasm, clarity and patience. We learned how to 'throw' pots and decorate tiles...collecting them glazed a few weeks later. Many thanks Chris."

Claire Shore reviewed: One day bangle/ring workshop

"We had a fabulous day with Jolene. She explained everything really clearly and made the day good fun. Her chocolate brownies were amazing too! We went expecting to come away with one bangle each but came away with 3 each plus extra bits made from leftover pieces."
