Latest Reviews - Creative, craft and artisan courses and workshops

I completed the fingerprint course on 7 & 8 September and thoroughly enjoyed myself. We learned things I didn't even think we would and it gave me such confidence. Paula was amazing, attentive and was an excellent teacher. The class was small enough that we engaged with each other, conversed and all questions were answered. I can't wait to get...

Soulful stitch - slow stitching workshops

Very much enjoyed this course, found it was everything Helen promised. She guides you in the process of using stitch as a reflective and meditative tool. Brilliant in the crazy world we all live in today! There was a real mix of people on it also from no stitching experience to professional textile artists. Everyone got something out of it...

Soulful stitch - slow stitching workshops

Helen is an inspirational teacher who enables all participants to achieve beyond their expectations! Previous experience is not necessary and you can be assured that there are no expectations, no judgements.... just a relaxing, supportive atmosphere in which to access your creativity and find outward expression for it. I recommend Helen’s courses without hesitation. 😊

Landscape painting in watercolours

I have attended a few of Georgina's art courses now and have learnt so much, I was very much an un-confident beginner, and she has really encouraged me to explore and grow as an artist. She has been so generous as a teacher in passing on skills and techniques, and her courses are as fun and enjoyable as they are...
