Terry reviewed: Mosaics for Beginners - West Sussex

"A friend and I attended the beginner mosaics yesterday. We had a lovely time, couldn't believe how absorbing this craft is. Picking colours, types of mosaic, cutting them and the blessed relief when you find a piece to fit! Wendy is patient and knowledgable and (as has previously been mentioned) makes a lovely cuppa. Can't wait to collect our grouted coasters and would definitely recommend this couse."

Gill reviewed: Glass fusing private class - fun taster class for beginners

"I received this 90 minute course as a gift. Sarah was very professional throughout and a clear and enthusiastic teacher. Although I had never done any glass fusing before the instructions were easy to follow and I managed to make several small items. Sarah was able to offer tips and pointers throughout so that hopefully the items will be good enough to wear and use. Sarah has a really good set up for teaching and I thoroughly enjoyed the session. Communication prior to the session was easy and quick with very good joining instructions and directions to the venue. Thank you."

A mixture of abilities made for a great atmosphere & it was great fun being with like minded people.

Cathy reviewed: Premium experience package dry stone walling for beginners

"Cannot recommend this course highly enough. Carl is a very personable tutor who made everyone relax. Sharon provided a most excellent lunch and was very friendly. It was interesting to see how people worked together and we were all very proud of the wall we built, which Carl assured us will still be there in a 100 years. It is an excellent team-building opportunity or simply a chance to do something different, and learn a new skill. The countryside around Diggle is beautiful and the weather was kind. Will recommend to friends and family."

Emma reviewed: Fused glass workshop at The Butterfly Effect Studio near Halford

"I had a wonderful day on this course, which was a birthday present. Helen had even laid on birthday decorations and a cake! I’m not particularly artistic but was able to draw a lot of inspiration from Helen’s work and the pieces that the other attendees were creating. I learnt loads and managed to produce coasters and sun catchers that I’m really proud of. Helen’s a great teacher and has some really good advice."

"Hi Emma, I appreciate you taking the time to review the workshop and am pleased you enjoyed your day, especially as it was a birthday gift. It was great meeting you and I’m so impressed with the creations on which you worked so diligently. Firings are nearly done and so far so good??so I really hope you are happy with your finished pieces."
