Nigel is a great teacher. Although I won’t be giving up my day job to start an Apprenticeship metal working, he was patient and showed me how to work the metal so I came home with some great pieces and was really pleased with my efforts. It was a lovely sunny day so at lunch we wandered through the amazing...
Mick's passion for helping people and working with wood is amazing.
I made contact with Mick seeing he ran courses in wood turning as I needed a bespoke piece of carpentry for the outside of my house. I tried a couple of other local business without success so wasn't holding out much hope.
Mick replied within a few hours and...
I had traumatic memories of Lino cutting at school but I have been totally converted by this excellent workshop. Alix was very informative and everyone was able to work at their own speed in a very relaxed atmosphere. I have already put my new found skills to use and look forward to doing another course with Alix soon
Absolutely brilliant day! We all need a bit of needle felting in our lives and Denise is just the lady to provide it! She is an excellent teacher - very patient, kind and encouraging - and everyone left with an amazing little woodland creature to treasure. This is my 3rd workshop (so you can tell how good they are!) and...
I was amazed at my finished product. Jo was so patient with me as a complete beginner. She was very welcoming and provided beverages throughout both days.
I am looking forward to my next course.

SallyAnne was an excellent tutor who explained each step clearly. She demonstrated each stage and was on hand for advice if needed.
We were all...
Had a fabulous 2day course with the very talented Sophie ,her expert tuition enabled me to produce a very lifelike border collie, which is going to be a gift for a friend if I can part with it.
I would certainly recommend one of Sophie’s courses whether you are a beginner or just want to learn new skills.
Amazing day with Spike, the course was everything I hoped it would be and more! Spike's an excellent teacher that allows you get on while keeping an expert eye on you. I can't rate this experience highly enough.
A thoroughly enjoyable day aboard the Silver Jewellery Boat. Jonathan is a patient teacher and helped us produce lovely silver bangles. This was my first visit but definitely not my last, next time I hope to make a pair of earrings. Excellent cake too !!
Really fantastic couple of days with Ollie. He was super knowledgable and excited to share all he could with me and help me along my way. I brought in a very tired and old looking dressing table that just looks fantastic now, all thanks to Ollie's patience with me and ideas and expertise. The course structure was perfect, allowing me...
