Mihail reviewed: Cloisonné enamel workshop

"The space is really cosy and full of creative tools and artworks! The hosts are approachable and patient and they do an excellent job of showing you what needs to be done but then letting you do it yourself, so the end result feels entirely and uniquely yours. Highly recommended if you want a peaceful and fulfilling afternoon!"

A & J Wilson reviewed: Candle Making Workshop with Loyal Candles - Bishop's Stortford, Hertfordshire

"I attended this course with my mum and we had the most incredible time. Adam is fantastic — he took his time to teach us the ropes, we never felt rushed, and we felt supported throughout. I made a winter spice candle, which is burning beautifully and smells delicious, along with some wax melts (which last forever). Another great bonus is the discounted price on Adam’s products for those attending the course. Everything smelled amazing, so we left with quite a few bits! Thank you, Adam — I would highly recommend this course to anyone looking for something fun to do."

Loyal Candles responded:

"That really means a lot and thanks so much. It was great fun! :)"

"The Christmas Pudding workshop was excellent. I would recommend any of Regan's courses. The felting studio is a gorgeous space to spend a couple of hours with friends, crafting.
