Sue Platt reviewed: Felt Making Workshops - Stratford upon Avon

"Three friends and I booked a day workshop as a surprise for a 50th birthday, and we all had a wonderful time not just the birthday girl! Lesley's tuition was just amazing and she was so patient with those of us who were perhaps not so artistically gifted...gave us such confidence! We all found it incredible how you can change strands of wool into a beautiful piece of felt and then a notebook cover....Lesley was very generous both with her materials and her time, and gave us the materials to try bead making at home when we had run out of time to do it at the workshop...we're looking forwards to being creative together again soon! Thanks too to Carl for making us lovely coffee and collecting the lunch and to Lesley for the delicious cake! (We also enjoyed meeting your gorgeous dogs....so well behaved!) We would all thoroughly recommend this course."

Gill Edwards reviewed: Introduction to candle-making as a business

"I booked this course as an introduction to candle making, having considered setting up my own business. The course was perfect! Jo was very generous Sharing her expertise and tips including suppliers, legal requirements and of course, the art of candle making. The day was very enjoyable, a beautiful venue, and myself and my fellow course attendees were made to feel very welcome and at home. It felt as though I were spending a fun day with friends. The candles we made were beautiful, and I left feeling enthused and keen to make more. I have no hesitation whatsoever in recommending this course, whether it be for fun and to learn a new skill, or to help with the finer points relating to the making of candles to sell. Gill"

Jean reviewed: Take raw fleece to finished fibre 2-day spinning workshop

"A full and active week-end learning hands-on all the time. We did quite literally travel from the fleece to the finished fibre and all stations in between. Lots to absorb. Challenging but very satisfying."
