Judith savage reviewed: One day Traditional Lead Stained Glass Course

"I took both the foil and lead classes with Cheryl. What fun and inspiration by such a lovely lady. Very nice relaxed atmosphere with no pressure. Loved her studio and not forgetting the darling little doggies, wanted to take all of them home with me. Now have lots of fun ideas to do when I get home. Thank you so much Cheryl."

Tina reviewed: One day Mosaic workshop Moon Hare Studio, Devon

"Excellent way to learn in a small group in relaxed environment. Starting with the basics of tile shapes, by the end of the session you walk away with a mosaic. Hardest bit of the class is deciding what to make and which colours to work with. Loved it !"

Robin Lane- Roberts reviewed: Sculptural green wood working

"Really great experience! My husband and I went along to the space last week and had the best time. I have never carved before, but found my self instantly involved in the process. Not only a great way to learn a new skill, but also to get to know new people, share stories and have a laugh! More than worth it!"

Paulo reviewed: Sculptural willow weaving - Animals

"This was a great experience. I worked with a group of strangers who, over the course of the day became my friends and at the same time we created a willow sculpture which surpassed all my expectations. Working collectively to create a thing of beauty lifted my spirits and gave me new ideas and skills to take home with me. I have great plans for the garden this summer. Stephen, the teacher was quite inspirational and we had tea and cake. What's not to like!"

Katherine Cole reviewed: Fun with Felt Flowers

"Very enjoyable - I'm sure I'll do more!"

Anna Dann reviewed: Macrame - Plant Hanger

"I really enjoyed this class and would like to thank Wendy for all her help. I didn’t manage to complete my Macrame and have booked another session in order to go back and hopefully finish off. The classes are small and everyone is really friendly which helps put you at ease."

Barbara reviewed: 1-to-1 Organic Skincare Workshop at Maid in the Meadow

"Attended with friends and had a great day. The course was lots of fun and very relaxed. Allison was lovely and very knowledgeable - she is a natural teacher and made our day very enjoyable. Love the products that we made and am keen to do it again to try out some other recipies."

Claire Bell reviewed: PickOne weekend weaving course

"A great weave workshop. Thought I knew the basics but James taught me so much over the course of the weekend from initial warping to colour/pattern relationships. Fascinating, and a completely new way of thinking about fabric construction for me. Nothing was too much trouble. A studio that is greatly resourced with beautiful wools, yarns and publications too. I was delighted with my finished piece and would highly recommend. I’m looking forward to booking my next course."

Chrissy W reviewed: Ceramic workshops for all in Accrington - Weekly sessions

"I loved the way the session was taught, and very welcoming atmosphere. I loved working with the wide range of materials. It was easy even for a beginner to do the class. I would recommend!"

Gillian reviewed: Fabulous felt picture 2 day masterclass near York

"What a wonderful experience. I was a complete novice to painting with wool but managed to produce a picture I am proud to frame and hang. Bridget was welcoming, as were the rest of the ladies in the group, enthusiastic and happy to share her knowledge and skills. Yes sometimes you had to wait for her time but I had bought a group experience so realised this would be the case. I have already recommended her to a friend and we have booked another weekend."

Jamilah Meghji reviewed: Wire & mixed media sculpture courses with James Ort

"What a wonderful couple of days we've had at Pheonix studios! Just finished the 2-day weekend wire sculpture course. James is great - relaxed, encouraging, really keen to understand what you're trying to build and then guide you through it. The studio is lovely - bright, spacious, with all the kit you might need. And the atmosphere was great - friendly & fun. Would thoroughly recommend!"

Georgina reviewed: Two day Silver Jewellery workshop ~ Beginners/ or Ints..~ a 'Quirky Workshop' nr Ullswater & the Lake District, Cumbria

"I thoroughly enjoyed this Silver Jewellery workshop. The tutor was excellent and very patient and encouraging. I was delighted with my results and it has certainly inspired me to get more tuition in the art of silver smithing. The Greystoke cafe certainly looked after us with a lovely lunch and superb refreshments. It was certainly one of the best workshops I have been on"

Marga Schnell reviewed: Mosaic and Glass Art 2-day Course

"It has been an excellent experience to work and learn from Maggie and be in an amazing space with other enthusiastic people. Being an Artist myself with a fair amount of teaching behind me, I especially value and appreciate the input and preparation which greeted us and the detailed instruction of tools, material which took place. Each one of us participants got personal attention, given advice without hindering our own ideas and creativity throughout the two days. Maggie you are an inspiration and your enthusiasm gives inspiration beyond the time we spend in your workshop. Thank you so much."

"Absolutely wonderful day, can't wait to see the results. Kim and Sharon were soooo patient and just lovely hostesses. Provided us with a lovely breakfast when we arrived, lunch and coffee and cake at the close of our day. Talk about pampering, that was an understatement! I hope to perhaps have another day at the studio."

Carl reviewed: One to one, One day, blacksmith course

"The one day course was booked as a birthday present as it’s something I’ve always wanted to try and have a taster of. Alex was welcoming and helpful with the designs and very informative. I had a great day and was tired by the end of it but had a huge smile because of what we had achieved. The day flew by! Highly recommended."

Helen Hyland reviewed: Feltmaking - OOH the choices!

"Today I completed my second wet felting class and thoroughly enjoyed it! I made a shoulder bag and was very happy with the finished product. Barbara is a great teacher and as well as giving very clear instructions, she has lots of examples and suggestions for whatever piece you are making. The classes are fun and very relaxed. I can highly recommend taking a wet felting course with Barbara and I look forward to taking another in the near future. Thank you Barbara!"

"Thank you very much for your kind review Helen. I enjoyed our day too. You are the star who produced a fabulous piece of unique work :-). Best regards Barbara Meek"

Jayne Ashton reviewed: Feltmaking - OOH the choices!

"A really great course today. My first time at wet felting and I came home with a really nice unique nuno felted silk scarf - far better than I ever expected. The class was small and everyone received individual attention. I learnt a new skill from an expert. Barbara is very patient and makes everyone feel very relaxed. I would highly recommend this and any other course that Barbara runs, others on the day wet felted small hand bags which also looked fun"

Feltworld - Creative Arts responded:

"Thank you very much for your kind review Jayne. You are the star who produced a fabulous piece of unique work :-) and as a first time felter, your scarf is beautiful. Best regards Barbara Meek"

Elizabeth Greaves reviewed: Feltmaking - OOH the choices!

"Excellent day today, making a wet felted shoulder bag. I’m really pleased with the finished product. Barbara is a superb teacher, and has brilliant ideas. Classes are small, so that you get expert one-to-one tuition. This is the second class I have attended, I made a wet felted picture on the first occasion, again an enjoyable experience."

Julia & Matt reviewed: Candle making workshops

"Wow - an incredible day! Arriving on a wet and windy day, we were immediately welcomed into Angharads traditional Welsh home with tea and biscuits and after a quick talk about what the day would entail, we went to the workshop and began. Angharad is incredibly knowledgeable and an excellent teacher and In just a few hours we had made a great selection of pillar and container candles working with a range of waxes. Both of us left inspired and relaxed and having had a great deal of fun. Would thoroughly recommend to anyone and very much hope to return!"

Torie reviewed: Introduction to Frame Loom Weaving

"Alice is a very creative little being. She provided a welcoming and warm environment, spent equal time with each of us and provided encouragement throughout the day. As someone who hasn’t attended a workshop on their own before I personally found it an achievement that was made so much easier by her kindness and positivity. I can’t wait to learn Macrame with her next week! (Yes I booked two courses) - she’s just that good!"

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

"An excellent day. I really enjoyed learning from Ian, who is encouraging, knowledgable and clear in his guidance. It was fascinating to hear a bit about the history of the craft and see the tools, and very cool to end up with your own hand-made stool! Highly recommended."

Helen Gauld reviewed: Mosaic and Glass Art 2-day Course

"I had the most rewarding two days with Maggie . The whole group were so nice , and so supportive of me ( non artist) , I never felt more comfortable in my life. 100% recommend anyone to go and try this , either with the tile mosaic, or using glass......you are bound to enjoy yourself!"

Jude Glide reviewed: Wire & mixed media sculpture courses with James Ort

"I absolutely loved this course. Having never worked with wire before I was over-the-moon with the sculpture I created. I did A level art in 1978, before James was even born!! & since then have been too busy working as a Nurse to be an artist. This course has certainly given me food for thought & I will definitely book on another course. James is a fabulous tutor with a warm personality. The studio is the perfect environment, peaceful, light & comfortable. Thank you."

Bobby Terry reviewed: Blacksmithing Introduction courses in Yorkshire and the North East

"What a brilliant way to spend a day....and to come home with two items that I could be proud of. A key ring and a dragon 3 hook coat hanger. My husband was also with me so a little bit of competition was going on as well! Interesting to learn new techniques with very helpful instructions and clear demonstration but with out them intruding into your learning experience but there when needed. Catering was excellent... few pounds heavier as Debbie makes an excellent flapjack besides a great lunch. Would highly recommend a go, lots of fun, hard work but fulfilling."
