Art Class via Zoom (Saturday mornings)

I really enjoyed the class. I felt free to get on with my work in the first instance. Maybe in the future I will do what the class are doing. But I am on a mission with this painting and need guidance to assist me which I feel I will get from Louise. I look forward to continuing with the...

5 Day Professional Furniture Refinishing Workshop - Traditional & Contemporary

I recently returned to OP Woodcraft for a five day workshop with Ollie, having completed a 2 day workshop in summer 2020. Once again it was a brilliant course and I thoroughly enjoyed the five days.

Fair Isle knitting live video course with Create With Fibre

Janet is a lovely tutor - encouraging and knowledgable and calm. I imagine a face-to-face course with her would be fabulous, but I think we struggled a little with the Zoom format. I think to do video courses successfully, studio-grade lighting and cameras, and a 'stage' for your demonstrations are probably needed, and as we didn't have this it was...

Interior design and decor: Make your home your sanctuary

This course is really enjoyable and inspiring. Lucy presents the rules of interior design then gives you the confidence to break them as well as follow them! I love her ethos of reusing and upcycling, so any space can be made beautiful and personal whatever the budget. Looking forward to her upholstery workshop.
