Derek Noble reviewed: Hedge Laying (2 Day Course)

"Apart from learning in a very hands-on way, it was a most enjoyable and fun course. Instruction was clear and attentive and the skills will, hopefully, be retained for ever. Next time, could you organise the weather to be slightly warmer, please."

Martina Phillips reviewed: Creative self discovery

"I have thoroughly enjoyed the whole 7 weeks of creating amazing projects. The course made me realise that I am not only able to produce some beautiful products but more importantly that I am able to take myself on a new journey in my life. Just like the beautiful products, I can create my own future. Sandra has been very friendly and supportive and made her course very relaxing and inspiring. I would certainly recommend the course to anybody who is looking for something different and original."

Georgia Brown reviewed: 100% Natural Beauty Product Making Workshop

"Dear Naz - just surfacing now to say a HUGE thank you for the amazing workshop - the girls had so much fun and talked incessantly all the way home and for days afterwards. Each time i picked up a product, Freya told me the whys and wherefores of it…. - we now no longer use the conditioners and she is keen not to wash her hair ever again !?? Soap is a gonner and she is excited to do another course ! Well done!! Nicole (Olivia’s mother) also was fascinated by the tales Livi told her and is keen to join Midas and do some courses. All great ! I look forwards to seeing you again soon and thank you so much again. Best regards G xx"

Ross Andrews reviewed: Realistic and Adorable Needle Felt Animals & Pets

"This was my first foray into needle felting, and I amazed myself by ending up with a very creditable fox :). Sophie was very clear and patient and took us through all the steps - everyone made an animal or bird of their choice and I think we were all pleased with the results. I highly reccommend this course - it was fun, relaxing and rewarding."

Constance Abbott reviewed: Embroidered landscape with words, with Julie Brand at Tigley Textiles in Worcester

"I attended Julie's Hares and Dragonflies workshop and am so pleased with my picture. I had a lovely day. Other than cross stitch, I have never attempted embroidery before so whilst I was slightly frustrated at my lack of dexterity and speed, the workshop has encouraged me to have a go at mastering some of the basic embroidery stitches. Julie's work is beautiful and I am inspired by what can be achieved. Thanks Julie, for your patience and kind tuition."

Vanessa B. reviewed: Weekend upholstery courses - Oxfordshire & Berkshire Borders

"Great weekend course, learnt so much not only from my project but also observing others too. Philip who is clearly very knowledgeable indeed was very patient and kind, he would often during the course gather us round a table to learn how to do a specific technique, welcomed questions enhancing the overall experience. He had all the tools ready for you and you receive a full set of instructions before your first day. My first project is rather large and ambitious and he is very encouraging indeed guiding me step by step to ensure I do the job correctly. I was able to send pictures and discuss with him my project beforehand so I arrived on the day with a clear understanding that it wouldn't be completed in two days. I am booked for the next one and look forward to learning more and more. Truly delighted with my progress so far as was everyone else with their smaller but completed weekend projects."

shirley wittering reviewed: Christmas Pudding - needle felting workshop with The Lady Moth

"What a fascinating afternoon, I was amazed at how the shapeless mass of wool became a cute little round robin. The feeling of the shape forming under my fingers was very good, I shall definitely do some more. Zenia explained the processes very clearly and was most patient. The tea and leibkucken was a great incentive too!"

Camilla Cross reviewed: Woodcarving for beginners - two day course in Suffolk

"Gerry was my first introduction to wood carving since middle school. He is a patient and caring teacher more than willing to explain the answer to any question you can come up with. I have been attending his evening classes for somewhere around a year and have learned so much. He has encouraged me even when I picked a rather obscure and eccentric First Project. Which has since been a complete success. I am certainly looking forward to the next term's classes with Gerry and am excited to see what we create next. I would highly recomend him for both beginers and those more advanced."

Michele reviewed: Tapestry weaving workshop for beginners

"The fact I successfully finished my first tapestry ever is a testament to Jane's teaching and experience in getting beginners motivated, started and completing a small work of art I will actually hang up! The whole day was great, including the delicious lunch and the company of the other students. I feel confident enough to try this on my own now and see where my new skills will take me. Thanks Jane!"

Ed Hubbard reviewed: Timber framing courses

"I so enjoyed this! To those out there considering an experience in green oak timber framing, I thoroughly recommend spending a week (or more) with Alan, Mary, Connor, John and Sid - not to mention, great candidate company. Regardless of skill level, you’ll come away with a stronger understanding of this beautiful and ancient craft. Alan ‘et al’ know their stuff and, just as important, clearly enjoy sharing their seemingly limitless knowledge through hands-on, patient, attentive, and practical instruction that, by week’s end, will culminate in a beautiful oak frame. Mary’s cuisine was, well, simply scrumdiddlyumptious – so much so that whenever I look at timber joints now, I’m instantly hungry... Thank you all for a wonderful week!"

Sheena Goodwin reviewed: Mixed Media Textiles

"A lovely creative day in a relaxed setting with encouraging teaching. A chance to learn new ways of working with colour and line using fabric paints, appliqué and threads as the mediums. Inspired me to develop what I'd started into finished and framed pieces when I got home."
