Amanda Allan reviewed: Blacksmithing Experience Day

"We had a fantastic time learning the skills of Blacksmithing with Colin. Colin is a great teacher, very patient, and lots of fun too! We were delighted with the coat hooks and knives we made and would all love to go back for more! If you want to try out blacksmithing or if you just want a fun day doing something totally different I can't recommend this course or Colin highly enough."

Gerry Doherty reviewed: Pottery 6 Week Classes

"Met Joan and she inspired me to take up Pottery and if anyone is ill, I would highly recommend that they take a course of pottery in Joan's Den ? I come for 3 hours and the time fly's by, I have learnt to use the pottery wheel and made a lighthouse (quite complicated as several pieces need joining) but I still have problems centering on the wheel which Joan is helping me with. I have also made cups, bowls and a small teapot ?"

Gareth reviewed: Blacksmithing, bladesmithing and metal craft

"My wife paid for a two day course for me with an overnight stay in one of the shepherd huts and hand on heart it's the best birthday present I've ever had, I loved every minute of it. The first day we covered safety (of course) and basic skills - we made some fire tools which, when I look at them now, I'm still surprised I actually made them - they are better than I can find in the shops. On day 2 I wanted to make something I've had in mind for a while, a 2ft high piece of decorative steel that I could put up on my garage. Nigel was a constant source of ideas on how best to approach making it and came up with lots of short-cuts for me, even painting it for me at the end of the day as well! When I wanted to try and work it out for myself I had the freedom to do so, and when I needed help Nigel was there to guide me and assist. I've always wanted to have a go a forging, and now that I have I wish I'd done it years ago - I'm already planning a return trip to develop my skills."

Rachael Lewis reviewed: Beginners Weaving with the Rigid Heddle Loom - at All in a Spin

"I cannot recommend attending one of Dunja's courses enough. The workshops are held in a beautiful setting and the course covered everything you needed to know to create a beautiful scarf of your own choice. It was an extremely relaxing and cosy experience and Dunja was always on hand to help students through all stages of the weaving process. I will certainly be looking to attend more courses in the future!"

At the end of out time we had produced greeting cards that looked sophisticated and expensive , something that anyone would be thrilled to receive. I would highly recommend attendance on one of Lindsey's courses, not only for the skills developed , but for the brilliant company ! enjoy !"

"Thoroughly enjoyable day - great welcome and good company, relaxed setting with enthusiastic support and instruction from Jane.

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

"I attended one of Ian's workshops a couple of weeks ago with my daughter as a friend recommended him to me. I was slightly apprehensive as I've no knowledge or skills in traditional wood working and didn't no what to expect. On our arrival we were both greeted by Ian who was a softly spoken very welcoming gentleman, he explained what he did for a living and talked about traditional wood working skills. Whilst there my daughter and myself made stools under the watchful eye and guidance of Ian, the whole experience was amazing for both of us and Ian amazing workshop just added to the feel of such a creative process. I would strongly recommend this to anyone, great day awesome Guy. We will definitely be back soon."

Greta Friggens reviewed: Introduction to Frame Loom Weaving

"Enjoyed a lovely day in Alice's studio learning how to weave, properly! Dabbling at home is all very well, but learning how to do it properly is so much better. Classes are small so you have all of Alice's attention and get to take home a finished piece of work."

Christine Holcroft reviewed: Wood carving for beginners and improvers at Ness Botanic Gardens Cheshire

"I decided to do this course as I've never worked with wood at all (in my day the girls only did needlework/cookery at school). It's been on my bucket list for a while. I was apprehensive at first but John's teaching technique soon made for a relaxing weekend. We had loads of ideas and information given to us and expert demonstrations from John. Lots of help was given where needed. I feel shattered now it's over but really enjoyed my weekend, doing something different. I actually just about ended up with an almost complete owl (very proud) but could probably have done with an extra day to complete that and practise some more basic techniques. Would definitely consider doing a follow up course; this was excellent and well worth the money. Thanks John."

Heidi Hardy reviewed: One day Mosaic workshop Moon Hare Studio, Devon

"Adela really knows her stuff and is passionate about mosaic. Adela led us through the process of basic techniques (initially Blue Peter came to mind!) through to a finished piece in a informal and knowledgeable way. I highly recommend this course as a first step to mosaic making or just as a fun way to spend time creating."

Jo Saunders reviewed: Mixed Media Painting Workshop in Brighton Seaside Home

"I had such fun - and that's what art is all about, right? We experimented and investigated different textures and paints. We stencilled, brushed, paletted, glued and admired. I learned so much and Laura has given me confidence in my art. I absolutely love the canvas I produced at the end of the day (I usual despise what I have created!) Totally recommended."
