Lyn Lygo reviewed: Introduction to Soap Making with Jodee Best

"A very good workshop. 5 people were present so it was a friendly and intimate group. Jodie was a pleasant and helpful teacher. The room was all set up ready. I had given this as a birthday gift for a friend and we both really enjoyed the session and came away with a large bar of soap which we plan to cut up and give as stocking fillers for Christmas."

JUNE THOMPSON reviewed: One-day woodcarving for beginners

"Very interesting course. William is very knowledgeable, amazing to see the work he has done/doing. Lovely relaxed atmosphere, once the basics were shown we were left to try a sample square..attentive but not in a fussy way. Felt able to ask questions, all were answered politely, with ease and humour. Great day, thoroughly enjoyed it. There were only 2 of us and we were both at the same level...never having done carving before.! Would love to go back again once I have had some practice at home... Recommend it."

Pete Wilkins reviewed: Blacksmithing Experience in Grassington (3 hours)

"My son and I spent a highly enjoyable afternoon making Viking-style knives. Richard was friendly and helpful and took the time to explain things well. We were able to tackle a wide range of techniques and were surprised by what we were able to achieve in the time. Richard was an enthusiastic teacher and made sure we got the most out of the afternoon. Highly recommended."

Ludo reviewed: Macrame Pot Hanger Workshop

"I had been waiting for a face to face chance to learn a new skill. This was totally worth it. Alice is so patient and lets everyone learn at their own pace. There was no tension at all. I really loved the fact that it was a small group and she had time for everyone. I loved the experience 100%."

Phoebe reviewed: One-To-One 1 Day Bespoke Lampshade Making Tuition Including Business Startup Guide for Crafters

"I had the best day completing my 1:2:1 workshop with Moji. Her studio is beautiful and inspiring and I learnt so much about lampshade construction and the craft during my time spent on the workshop. I had no prior lampshade making experience, yet I was able to complete a beautiful gathered lampshade that completely exceeded my expectations! Moji is an excellent teacher and explained everything so clearly and patiently. The 1:2:1 experience meant Moji was able to really clearly demonstrate all the techniques, giving me time to work through each stage and answer all of my questions as we went along. I feel equipped with the knowledge to go on and make many more lampshades and I’m excited to see where this journey takes me."

Moji Designs responded:

"Dear Phoebe, Thank you so much for your kind words. It was an absolute pleasure teaching you. I wish you all the best in your future endeavours. M x"

Corrina Nicholson reviewed: One day fused glass course at North Norfolk Stained Glass

"Had such a super day with Paul and Natalie and would thoroughly recommend this one day fused glass course. We were in a lovely setting in rural North Norfolk (and were provided with excellent instructions on how to find the venue) and the workspace was set out well with plenty of space for the three of us attending the course. The day started with Paul teaching us about the different types of glass and how to cut glass safely and properly starting with straight cuts and moving on to curved cuts which we were able to practice to ensure we felt comfortable with this. We then worked with Natalie to explore all the types of glass further and to design our own fused glass item. I am delighted with what I achieved and am looking forward to returning in the future to do another course. I would highly recommend this course."
